If a dwarf fails to drink in time, the thirst will proceed to dehydration and eventually death. A dwarf needs to drink about once in every three weeks. |
A thirsty dwarf prefers to drink [[Alcohol|booze]] - if none is available, they will go to the nearest [[water]] source and drink, ideally being a [[well]] inside the fortress, but they will drink from a [[river]], [[brook]], or even [[murky pool]]s if there are no other sources of water. A dwarf can live indefinitely on water alone, but without alcohol they will suffer bad thoughts, reduced movement speed/workrate, and combat abilities: making a dwarf's efficiency highly alcohol-dependent. While dwarves prefer an abundance of alcohol, dwarves give water to other dwarves when a dwarf is [[rest|resting]] and when a dwarf can't find something to drink on their own. | A thirsty dwarf prefers to drink [[Alcohol|booze]] - if none is available, they will go to the nearest [[water]] source and drink, ideally being a [[well]] inside the fortress, but they will drink from a [[river]], [[brook]], or even [[murky pool]]s if there are no other sources of water.
