Alcohol is one of the staples of the dwarven diet, it quenches their thirst and gives them positive thoughts. Healthy dwarves will drink alcohol exclusively when available. When dwarves are forced to drink water, they begin to work slowly from alcohol dependency.

Wounded dwarves will not drink alcohol; they must be given water by a caretaker with a bucket. Therefore, a fortress cannot survive on alcohol in the absence of drinking water, unless dwarves are abandoned when wounded. Alcohol can either be brewed at a still, brought with you from the embark screen or traded with visiting carvans.

To brew alcohol at a still requires a brewable plant and a barrel. Every unit of plant produces 5 units of alcohol. A single stack of plants will be brewed in one go, and the resulting booze will be placed into a single barrel - a stack of Plump Helmet [5] will produce Dwarven Wine [25], and will only occupy a single barrel. Skilled growers, who tend to harvest larger stacks, can therefore reduce the number of barrels required to store alcohol, which in turn minimizes the required stockpile size.

Explosive

Keep Alcohol away from fire. Igniting the stuff will cause a ball of fire that can easily kill or injure your dwarves. At this time very little research has been done regarding alcohol bombs. For an example see [1]
