I decided to stop taking alcohol along when I embark, and you know what?

It made no real difference to dwarven state of mind.
They were a bit annoyed for a while, but, eventually, stopped caring.

The reason I stopped bringing it, was that, for a, ahem, social experiment, I stopped brewing drinks. And the dwarves didn't kill each other, which was disappointing. In fact, they stayed Ecstatic.

Oh yeah, they can still be happy without booze. It's just that they work more slowly without it. After awhile without it, if you check their profile, it'll say that.

How long have you been playing DF, out of curiosity?

On and off for about 2 years.
I just always made booze for fear of depression.

In one of my first forts, the first one that survived for more than a year without everyone starving, I still hadn't figured out booze. No one was exceedingly depressed, but my novice siege engineers would not be able to finish making any ballista parts. There was just an endless loop of "start job, do for ages, quit, start over later."

Yeah, booze just hurts productivity when it's lacking.
