Goblin citizens being kept from alcohol?
« on: January 22, 2022, 12:05:53 pm »

Vanilla fort, except for the aggressive chickens and small number of dorfs.  Recruited a goblin bard, two years later her husband signed up, too.  They've had two kids since he got here, girl's fourteen now, boy's eight.  They are all citizens at this point.  Mom and Dad are frustrated from a lack of decent meals, but that's understandable, because they have goblin tastes, which the dorfs and traders don't have foodstuffs for.  The kids grew up with dorf tastes and values, so they're fine, fitting right in.

The problem is, all three adults are frustrated / dejected / distracted about "being kept from alcohol".  The eight year old is not, doesn't talk about booze. 

What's going on?  Is there any way to get alcohol to these citizens?  Dad's a true blue goblin, but Mom's a peach, and the kids are alright.  Girl in particular shows a lot of promise.  Besides, fertile couples are always welcome, obviously.  So I'd like to solve this one.  Thanks!

I’m pretty sure goblins will only drink when force-fed by a poisoner.

Really hoping somebody puts this in their signature.

Darn.  Apparently they're keeping themselves from alcohol and complaining about it.  I know people like that.  Thanks for the answer.
