[YashaAstora]

Three or four years into my fort and I had the food and booze situation mostly under control. Buying tons of food and drink from caravans and brewing my three farms' output meant I had over 1100 drink for 150 dwarves. I also decided to make a tavern so my dwarves can dance and sing and recite poetry.

A few months (in-game) later I notice some cancelled "give water" and "drink" jobs. I check my stocks and I have 70 drink. Is my tavern sucking up all the drink because I struggle to imagine a mere 150 dwarves could pound away over one THOUSAND units of booze in less than an in-game year, especially since dwarves need sustenance way less than real-life people do. Did I greatly underestimate how much drink a fort needs? I have to basically have my brewers brewing around the clock or I suddenly notice that 800+ drink disappears in the blink of an eye.

Hey - the description says it.

needs alcohol to get through the working day

working day, not working year.

Solve your problem by setting a conditional workshop order to make more booze when booze < x.

Also, yeah, taverns (at least those with an assigned tavern keeper) put a little extra strain on your booze stockpiles. Not that much though.

If you have your tavern open to visitors (this is the default) it will absolutely hose your booze supply because you're supplying a lot of extra people (such as traveling performers).
