Most of the [[crop|plants]] in the game can be turned into drink, and thus most drink is sourced from dwarven [[farming]], both indoor and out. Most of the plants [[plant gathering|gathered]] from the wild can also be used for brewing, but the reduced yields relative to farming makes it a less ideal solution. Drinks can be sourced at [[embark#supplies|embarkation]], and taking at least a few barrels with you is recommended to hold your initial dwarves over until you can build a [[still]]. [[Caravan]]s always bring some drinks along as well, although not enough to support a reasonably large fortress. Finally, [[honey]] acquired through [[beekeeping industry|beekeeping]] can be brewed into alcoholic mead, the only form of drink that is not derived from plants. | Most of the [[crop|plants]] in the game can be turned into drink, and thus most drink is sourced from dwarven [[farming]], both indoor and out.

To brew a drink a dwarf will need an empty watertight container of some kind (either a [[barrel]] or a [[large pot]]) and a [[stack]] of brewables. Each brewing job produces five units of alcohol per comestible consumed and deposits it in the container, recovering any plant [[seed]]s in the process. The size of a stack does not affect how long it takes to brew it, which is based entirely on the brewer's [[skill]], making brewing jobs performed on large stacks much more efficient than those done on individual consumables. Stacks of alcohol do not have quality levels, and the strength of a happy thought obtained by drinking alcohol is based entirely on the value of the drink (including the stack size) and the dwarf's personal preferences. |
