[TeaAndRum]

I think it'd be kinda cool if water sources would be more finite, and more essential to civilizations. For example, a fireplace in houses to melt the water during winter, and/or an option to eat ice, but with a risk of hypothermia if done repeatedly.
Also, if you dam a river in your embark, it should affect the settlements downstream, perhaps escalating into a war/peasant mobs, also its water should be able to be tainted/poisoned as a way of weakening the enemy settlement. Or maybe somebody/something accidentally dies and rots in the/next to the water in the middle of nowhere, which could cause minor problems to you, if the creature wasn't very big. This could be avoided with drinking booze/boiling the water before usage.
But water should also be able to be transported with a reasonable price, just like booze and extracts. Perhaps the price should go up, depending on the climate, and purity of water. Most expensive type should be distilled water, which could be usable by scholars, or in hospitals.
Settlements in scorching climates should be abandoned sometimes for lack of water, or they could attack/rob merchant caravans/other settlements for water, perhaps even securing and defending a location with a water source.

Bad suggestions only. Get out.

• Brewers can now lace alcohol with drugs and do things to drugged dwarves when they pass out.
• Dwarves write screenplays, and will not return to work until they get positive reception on it.

Dwarves will create graffiti, either painting on or chiseling into walls to create simple messages or designs, some of which will be obscene or upsetting to your dwarves.  If dwarves in your fort are unhappy, they can create messages that will foment rebellion and berserk states.  Worst of all, these can permanently damage high-quality or masterwork engravings.

Giving birth causes female dwarfs to explode. Basically a dwarf woman who goes into labour just immediately blows up and a newborn baby dwarf appears in the space where she used to be.

Reminds me of Alien, question, does the baby dwarf feed on its mother’s blood in the absence of milk?
