This article is about an older version of DF.

A flask, similar in nature to a Template:L, is a container used by your dwarves to carry alcohol while on Template:L or Template:L duty. Flasks are made from Template:L and more valuable than waterskins, and with the abundance of ore, may be more readily available in some situations. Dwarves prefer to drink alcohol over water, even while on duty, and receive a happy thought for doing so. This can help keep military dwarves happier, so that bad thoughts from long patrols are less of a factor. Another bonus is that alcohol does not freeze in cold environments, so that dwarves may consume drink outside even in freezing biomes.

Flasks can carry a maximum of 3 units of Template:L.
