Excuse this rather silly question, but I am not sure if people have tried this.

If I put water in a barrel, people drink it. But they never give it to injured people.
If I have a drink in a barrel, people drink it. but they never give it to injured people.
If I put water in a bucket, people WONT drink it, but they DO GIVE it to injured people.

...

What happens if I put a drink in a bucket? Did anyone test filling drinks from barrels to buckets with a reaction to give to injured people? I will certainly test this.

I've never tested this specifically, but I have noticed that dwarves who are injured and awaiting retrieval, and have a flask of booze, won't drink the booze.

Was that water a DRINK or a LIQUID_MISC? If the former, then for all intents and purposes it is alcohol.

By the same token, a LIQUID_MISC made of a booze material is still non-alcoholic, and dwarves likely will not drink it (because the only LIQUID_MISC they will drink is WATER, otherwise they'd be consuming extracts and blood).

water DRINK in barrel.
water LIQUID_MISC in bucket.

So it counts towards their soberness? water DRINK is not made of any material that has the ALCOHOL tag, I didnt know that DRINK would be enough to count.

But good thinking... yeah, they dont touch milk buckets either. Maybe I just write a reaction that takes a barrel of booze and fills a bucket with it, creating a bucket with water. A bit silly, but it should just simulate them getting drinks to injured people.

That's kind of nuts, now that I think about it. Reverse distillation.

Yes - the act of being a DRINK object is what counteracts sobriety. As such, filling a bucket with LIQUID_MISC:NONE:PLANT_MAT:MUSHROOM_HELMET_PLUMP:ALCOHOL will effectively give you Dwarven synthehol - looks like wine, possibly tastes like wine (though they won't get happy thoughts from it), but doesn't get them drunk.

The [ALCOHOL_PLANT] and [ALCOHOL_CREATURE] tags don't actually mark the material as being made of alcohol - they just allow it to be stockpiled properly.

Thank you Quietust, its amazing that I am still learning after several years of modding.
