Technically, a break is different from Template:Ling or Template:L or Template:Ling - but the result is often the same - your dwarves leave their current activity (sometimes in mid-Template:L, dropping any materials where they stand) and walk to where they can take their "break", in whatever form. (See Template:L.)
How to stop breaks
They will take more breaks if they are thirsty or have no access to Template:L. Give them lots of booze to keep them active.
You can cancel dwarves' breaks by Template:Ling them into the military and then immediately releasing them. This causes an unhappy Template:L if the dwarf has no military Template:Ls at novice or better. Some players consider this an Template:L, while others think it is balanced by the unhappy thought. If all your dwarves have novice in even a single military skill, however, there will be no unhappy thought. You could rationalize this as having "military culture" at your fort if you wanted, but it's definitely an exploit which Toady has acknowledged.
