Dwarves like to have some variety in what they drink, and will garner a bad thought if they are forced to drink the same variety of drink repeatedly (has been tired of drinking the same old booze lately). Every dwarf likewise has a [[preference]] for a favored drink, which is at first selected randomly from all possible alcoholic beverages but may change once they have sampled some of your fortress's products. Thus alcohol is important both for maintaining your fortress (at a minimum) and (with some investment in variety) for keeping your dwarves happy. |

Most of the [[crop|plants]] in the game can be turned into drink, and thus most drink is sourced from dwarven [[farming]], both indoor and out. Most of the plants [[plant gathering|gathered]] from the wild can also be used for brewing, but the reduced yields relative to farming makes it a less ideal solution. Drinks can be sourced at [[embark#supplies|embarkation]], and taking at least a few barrels with you is recommended to hold your initial dwarves over until you can build a [[still]]. [[Caravan]]s always bring some drinks along as well, although not enough to support a reasonably large fortress. Finally, [[honey]] acquired through [[beekeeping industry|beekeeping]] can be brewed into alcoholic mead, the only form of drink that is not derived from plants. | Most of the [[crop|plants]] in the game can be turned into drink, and thus most drink is sourced from dwarven [[farming]], both indoor and out.

To brew a drink a dwarf will need an empty watertight container of some kind, either a [[barrel]] or a [[large pot]], and a [[stack]] of brewables. Each brewing job produces five units of alcohol per comestible consumed and deposits it in the container, recovering any plant [[seed]]s in the process. The size of a stack does not affect how long it take the brew it, which is based entirely on the brewer's [[skill]], making brewing jobs performed on large stacks much more efficient then those done on individual consumables. Stacks of alcohol do not have a visible [[quality]], but likely have an invisible one as dwarves can have positive drink quality thoughts (had a fine/pretty decent/wonderful/truly decadent/legendary drink lately); the details are fertile ground for future !!SCIENCE!!. |

| − | Dwarven thirst is constrained by the important [ALCOHOL_DEPENDENT] [[creature token]] tag, which causes them to suffer severe performance penalties when deprived of alcohol. Thirsty dwarves increasingly lose [[speed]] in almost every activity, including basic movement; dwarves will also wait longer before drinking from a non-alcoholic water source, resulting in negative [[thought]]s from thirst. Alcohol withdrawal appears in the dwarf's thoughts and preferences as "starting to work slowly due to its scarcity" after 3 months, "really wants a drink" after 6 months, "has gone without a drink for far, far too long" after 9 months, and finally "can't even remember the last time he/she had some" after an entire year. Precisely how much dwarves trudge their feet due to alcohol withdrawal is unknown | + | Dwarven thirst is constrained by the important [ALCOHOL_DEPENDENT] [[creature token]] tag, which causes them to suffer severe performance penalties when deprived of alcohol.

Setting booze on [[fire]] will not cause it to explode, but exposing it to high [[temperature]]s ''will'' cause it to boil away. If the container is flammable, it (and, subsequently, the booze) will be consumed by fire; [[magma-safe]] containers would never be destroyed by [[magma]], but any booze inside will likely quickly perish due to heat transfer (unless the container is made of [[nether-cap]]). | Setting booze on [[fire]] will not cause it to explode, but exposing it to high [[temperature]]s ''will'' cause it to boil away.
