Some sort of dining hall situation where the goblets and mugs are stored would be nice. It would also create more uses for cabinets and chests if those were used. There are precious few uses for them as it is. Perhaps flasks could be implemented as something that dwarves that suffer frequently from thirst might invest in once the economy is re-introduced? Dwarves would fill up their flasks automatically and then refill them only when they have drunk all of the contents. I am always happy to see more suggestions on how crafts can be implemented. As it is, flasks are only used by the military and goblets and mugs are only used for trading. Considering how easy mugs and goblets are to make, I don't think it would make the game overly complicated, especially considering that they could always just drink straight from the barrel if there are no mugs available.

Should depend on the creture.

Dwarves from barrels.

Humans from mugs.

I really simply don't like the idea of dwarves drinking from goblets....

How about if only Nobles drink from mugs/goblets?  Kind of like a snooty status thing?

Sounds like a good idea... perhaps as a mandate as well. Something to put in their chest, too.

Absolutely agreed. Huge mugs, yes. Small goblets, nay. Although, the nobles could want to feel more "special" once they come back.

The question is why would a dwarf be unhappy at drinking booze directly from the tap? Getting happy thoughts from good mugs is fine but there shouldn't be an unhappy thought for not having a mug, like eating prepared food instead of raw plump helmets.
Problem is, I can't imagine why a dwarf would prefer drinking a few gulps from a good-looking gold goblet to drinking as much as he can wants. Unless we're talking about some crappy elven-made drink.

All-in-all, it would be okay for humans... goblins could drink from skulls while elves.... could eat strawberries, so it's rather pointless. Dwarves need to drink alot, especially since alcohol keeps their beards shiny, so it needs to soak up much of it as well.
