This article is about an older version of DF.

Alcohol is the favored drink of Template:L; without it they will soon become Template:L. Thoughts imply that dwarves like to have some variety in what they drink. Many dwarves have a favorite drink, selected at first from among the 4 types of alcohol made from underground Template:Ls, but including drinks brewed from surface plants once dwarves have been exposed to those beverages.

Acquiring Alcohol for your Dwarves

There are three methods of acquiring alcohol, only two of which are available after embark.

Consequences of a Sober Fortress

As dwarves are highly dependent on alcohol, a lack of booze over a prolonged period of time will result in a loss of Template:L 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.
