Has anyone else noticed this? sometimes dwarves will get a task while they are in the middle of a drink and instead of finish their drinking session or stop drinking, they take the barrel with them. I continually see booze barrels left in the offices of the recordskeeper, arsenal dwarf, and manager. Also when stationing my squads they sometimes carry the booze too, which is a bit annoying since once they reach their spot they realize they are carrying a barrel and go back to put it in the stockpile.

When I check their inventory, it shows they are hualing it. I like to imagine that when a dwarf takes a drink he just picks the whole barrel up and drinks straight out of it. 

is this a bug?

Yes, I see this constantly. I've mostly noticed it with military dwarves. It's a bug in all likelihood.

The beard's stuck in the barrel so he can drink when doing his job, but the booze runs out before he starts working. I vote feature.

It wouldn't be the last bug which became feature.

[Karnewarrior]

It's a bug that's eerily similar to a (Probably) planned feature. We should implement.

I noticed this too. It'd be hilarious if it happened when dwarves went to parties.

Huh. I thought it was a feature - clerical dwarves(I didn't notice it in my military until way after desk-workers) bringing booze back to their desks, successfully liquoring up while still accomplishing their duties.

Sure, it'd be nice if the population could be set to just pick up flasks and periodically fill them, drinking from them rather than going back to the stockpile, but this seemed like a decent compromise to me. Maybe I just didn't notice what was going on - e.g. I don't know if they still take the full time to drink, at the stockpile, BEFORE hauling the booze off.

I think I've seen them with non-Drink jobs shown as active while while carrying the booze, though...
