Alright, I know not everyone loves Quantum Storage, but I need it.

That said, I meticulously setup unique QS lines for each booze type near my legendary dining room.  However, even with 'dump every 28 days' it appears my dorfs are standing around the minecarts and their stubby little arms can't reach in and grab the booze.  However, because they want it, noone's PUSHING the minecarts to dump it, so they're literally dying of thirst standing in the same square as the booze.

Ooookay, so apparently I don't know how to properly setup booze QS.  Any recommendations?

Set garbage dump -> dump full booze barrel without the booze itself -> reclaim the booze barrel when dwarves have brought it into garbage dump

Automate the pushing using powered rollers, levers, and/or pressure plates and circular tracks?

I didn't think that you could reliably set up a Quantum Booze Pile (patent pending).  The stockpiles that allow booze have barrel limits and dwarves don't seem to like 2 barrels sitting on top of one one another when in use.  All of my Quantum Booze Piles have ended in hauling loops where a barrel gets moved to the quantum pile and then gets picked back up.

I normally use the still itself as a QSP. If you don't stockpile booze and don't buy any in, it'll stay in the still or in the few tiles surrounding it.

This is what I generally do, at the very least at the start of every fort, and it makes it feel more like a bar anyway. Everyone gathering around the stills drinking straight from it talking about the new methods or ingredients almost like working at a brewery, right? I usually build a dining hall and a nice room with multiple stills for this purpose. I would like to see dwarves taking the booze in mugs to the dining hall with food but the still QS method is a great second option.
