Alcohol is the favored drink of {{L|Dwarves}}, without which they become {{L|thought|unhappy}}. Many dwarves have a favorite drink. Thoughts also imply that dwarves like to have some variety in what they drink. Dwarves will have only preferences for the 4 types of alcohol made from underground crops until they come in contact with drinks from above ground plants.

Alcohol is the favored drink of [[dwarves]]; a dwarf will drink booze an average of four times per [[calendar|season]], and without it they will soon become [[thought|unhappy]]. Thoughts imply that dwarves like to have some variety in what they drink.  Many dwarves have a [[preferences|favorite drink]], selected at first randomly from all possible alcoholic beverages, but this might change once dwarves have been exposed to other beverages. {{verify}}

==Acquiring Alcohol for your Dwarves==
−
 
+
There are three methods of acquiring alcohol, only two of which may be done after one has embarked.
−
Note that setting booze on [[fire]] will ''not'' cause it to explode (nor has it ever done so) - however, exposing it to high [[temperature]]s '''will''' cause it to boil away (and the wooden [[barrel]]s themselves can also be set on fire).
+
*At {{L|embark}}, alcohol may be purchased with embark points.
−
 
+
*{{L|Trading|Traders}} that visit the fortress will often have alcohol of some sort to sell.
−
==Acquiring alcohol for your dwarves==
+
*The third, and most reliable, method requires a {{L|brewer}}, a {{L|still}}, and a working {{L|farm plot}}. Most {{L|crops}} can be brewed into valuable alcohol.   
−

*In a pinch you can also {{L|Plant gathering|gather plants}} and brew them at a {{L|still}} in the same way you would with {{L|crops}}.

**In a pinch you can also [[Plant gathering|gather plants]] and brew them at a [[still]] in the same way you would with [[crops]].
 
−
**Mead does not require any plants to be made, though it does require honey which is made through [[beekeeping industry|beekeeping]].

−
==Variety==
 
−
:''He has been tired of drinking the same old booze lately.''
 
−
 
 
−
Variety in booze keeps away unhappy thoughts.
 
−
 
 
−
If a dwarf drinks the same old booze over and over, he will eventually get a bad thought from 'drinking the same old booze lately.', unless that dwarf has a preference for that type of booze.  A dwarf who likes a type of booze will never get tired of drinking it.
 
−
 
 
−
Lack of variety causes bad thoughts, but will never cause a dwarf to stop drinking.  Even after years of drinking a booze they don't like, a dwarf will never prefer water or dying of thirst to drinking the same old booze.  You can therefore keep a fortress alive on only one type of booze so long as you have enough good thoughts to offset the bad thought from lack of booze variety.

Any creature with the [ALCOHOL_DEPENDENT] [[creature token|token]], dwarves included, will suffer performance penalties as a result of being deprived of alcohol. This manifests as a loss of [[speed]] in almost every activity, including basic movement. For this reason, a steady supply of alcohol is highly recommended for any attempts at a productive fort (unless you're a cruel overlord).
+
As dwarves are highly dependent on alcohol, a lack of booze over a prolonged period of time will result in a slow-down in almost every aspect of them. For this reason, a steady supply of alcohol is highly recommended for any attempts at a productive fort.
−
 
 
−
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.
 
−
 
 
−
While dwarves rely on alcohol from the moment they are born, creatures of ''any'' race who are exposed to enough combat to become fully hardened ("doesn't really care about anything anymore") will also become alcoholics.
