Ofocurse it's solid! Why else can they mince beer and wine and whatever?

[The Doctor]

Poison and crack cocaine, respectively.

Rat Poison and crack cocaine, respectively.

Fix'd.

[Double A]

Step 1: Rip off top of barrel.
Step 2: Pick up barrel.
Step 3: Tilt top of barrel toward mouth, and bottom of barrel toward aboveground.
Step 4: Hear chant of "Chug, Chug, Chug, Chug, Chug, Chug, Chug, Chug, Chug!"

Only Toady hasn't gotten around to sound yet, so it would be in a report.

You know how barrels have multiple units of booze? That's not just a quirk of the programming.

Dwarven booze is solid.

They just reach in, pick up a square of beer, and stuff it in their mouth.

And chew.

I will consider that to be the official answer until Toady, Threetoe (or maybe Footkerchief) inform me otherwise.

I remember noticing before that booze seemed more like a solid than a liquid, it can be placed in a backpack last I checked, and back in 40D it couldn't be placed in a waterskin.  It makes perfect sense.

So dwarves brew their bread. Nice. Ale is liquid bread... and dwarven ale is solid... so it's bread. So that's why they don't need the 'regular' bread.

You rang?

But anyways, I think their booze is solid, so you can make solid meals out of it. It was a feature, not a bug.

Now, since we are in Dwarf Fortress... WE NEED TO FIND A WAY TO WEAPONIZE IT!! FOR !!SCIENCE!!

I think I'm going to try and make a mod for this. This will be my first time modding a game in a while, but I have some ideas for the mod already and will get started on it tomorrow after school. First I need to study up on modding DF, but in a week's time I will have it at least partly working.

How do dwarves drink their alcohol?

They quaff it. Quaffing is like drinking except you spill a lot more.

NO! Quaffing is only possible after taking a vast gulp of air beforehand. You down the entire thing with an open gullet, and, having forced a lot of air down your throat with the alcohol, produce a massive, low, rumbling burp. That is quaffing, you elf.

Very well, thank you.

Let me know how that turns out. I must see it!

I will make a thread on it the modding section once I get it working

I am in the process of making it. I am trying to learn modding, not too hard actually, just lots of experimenting. I actually haven't even found all the names for the booze in the raws. I would ask for help, but I suspect most would just link to the wiki page on modding

[MaximumZero]

Hint: They're defined by the plant they're produced from.

[SolEvil]

Ok, thanks that helps a lot. Now I just need to look at the raws for how they make other weps and whatnot, edit it a little, test, rinse and repeat.

edit: so just to be sure, MUSHROOM_HELMET_PLUMP would be the name of booze made from it?

[Da Spadger]

They remove the lid from the barrel and jump in. They're not seen again until the barrel is empty.

Farming went well that year, and the dwarfs amounted a large pile of booze for dwarf standard. Having been blessed by Armok, the broker thought it only right to share there good fortune with there brethren from mountain home and make an offering of booze to the yearly caravan. Urist McEngraver was never seen again.
