This is usually a {{L|well}} inside your fortress, but they will drink from a {{L|river}} or {{L|brook}} if there are no wells nearby, and have been observed to drink from {{L|murky pool}}s if there are no other sources of water. A dwarf can live on water indefinitely if there is no booze to be had, but will get {{L|thought|unhappy thoughts}} from doing so - dwarves are highly dependent on alcohol. |
