If putting yeast in fruit juice turns the sugar in the juice to alcohol, and nonalcoholic juice gets dwarves drunk, would that mean that they get drunk from the sugar? If so, and by "drunk" you mean that they are unfocused and can't concentrate, then we can conclude that all dwarves have ADHD due to their disorienting reaction to sugar! Science!

Also if they react badly to sugar, regardless of any ADHD, that would mean that dwarven sugar and syrup would act as regular booze to dwarves.

Dwarves living in forts where the entire food stock is made out of sugar and syrup exhibit no ill effects.

That's because dwarven sugar and dwarven syrup are different.  They are sweet, yet have low sugar content.

Gelatin Shots?

But anyways, we need bartenders, or at least have brewers include the trade of bartending in their daily lives.

Sounds like an elven drink. Real dwarves drink a pint of rum, with a dash of beer. Chased by whiskey.

Somehow, that fills me more with dread than anticipation.  It's like being told that someone's exhuming your favorite grandparent and they're going to try to make her into a cyborg stripper.

Cat blood/liquid fire, and your choice of mead.

Bars make dwarves happy, because bartending trait called flaring amuses dwarves and general bartending allows them to have specialty drinks, wink wink, happy happy.

Also with this topic the bar will have a allocatable space and allocatable furnishings like a bedroom, and will contribute to the creation of a warehouses and may help with vehicles and other future modifiable things.

Also, it'll help with the boozing experience, but bars may cause haul to bed/bar fight/party jobs, so set the rules, and don't allow partying in your bar.

to get back to the main idea of mine:
i want a drink for the non alcoholic races too, and thus to make different mechanics dwarfs get drunk from the juice, its not really drunk, just like someone mentioned some ind of sugar rush or the kind of things.

Sugar...with low sugar content...
Right.

So a piece of that sugar would be less than 100% made of itself.
Wow that would mean it's mostly antimatter or something. No wonder.

Someone needs to mod in dwarven anti-matter reactors fueled by dwarven sugar.

Right.

It's called "Dwarven Sugar". Nothing specifies this is the same stuff as sugar as we understand it.

In the same sort of way that "firewater" doesn't actually feature any fire. ;)

Precisely.  Only the plants make it naturally. and dwarves just extract it.
