if you only got one type of booze dwarfs will ignore it later on, you need to vary at least 3-4 kinds of booze so they dont swap to water... beside the "need a lot of barrels"
Where did you come up with this idea?

Listen up: making a thing a ‼thing‼ doesn't make it more awesome or extreme.  It simply indicates the thing is on fire.  Get it right or look like a silly poser.

It's useful to keep a ‼torch‼ handy.

From "Angroshs Kinder" Das schwarze Auge Zwergenhandbuch - (Angrosh Children, the dark eye, german pen&paper, dwarven handbook):
"Elves!? Their men dont wear beards, and their women bathe nacked to lure you into the water and drown you. Thank Angrosh they are as ugly as the day and all big and skinny."

"get bored with the same old drink" or something?

The claim that dwarves will refuse to drink if they only have one kind of booze has been proven false.  Dwarves will never, ever prefer water or dying of thirst to booze, even if they are drinking the same kind for decades.  They will get bad thoughts from 'drinking the same old booze', unless they have a special preference for that type of booze, but they will never stop drinking it if available.  As far as I can tell, this has always been the case, even in old versions.
