I don't know if this should be here or in the Fortress mode board,but whatever...
So,I'm a bit new at Dwarf Fortress,so my fortresses usually end in "fun",but without the actual fun.So,just today I had a fortress that ran out of boose and it was winter so it was dying down.Through tantrum spirals,only a lone stoneworker was left.So what does he do?Tantrum?No,he goes straight back to work on creating stone blocks.Miasma from his fallen comrades spreads through the corridors,he's standing on a corpse and is about to die any minute,but he keeps doing his job.That is perseverance.

Sorry if this was too cheesy,I was just trying to tell a story.

[MagmaMcFry]

A sad story of a dwarf that died to the incompetence of the overseer. Dwarves should NEVER EVER run out of booze.

But a touching story nonetheless. As you progress in DF, you will learn to tell far greater stories of heroism, magma, elves, magma and death. This is the way of the overseer.

Also, you could have posted it in the "What's going on in your fort" topic in the Fortress Mode board.

Touchy story, you could get water via well from cavern, i guess dwarves can be ok for a season of drinking water "i guess"

[Kogan Loloklam]

Did you abandon, or stick it out until he dies?

[TailorTF]

I know of all my mistakes,and yes ,I waited until he died.As for the mispost,my bad.

Running out of booze, eh? That happens to me way too often.

Are we still talking about DF?

Are we still talking about DF?

Sometimes I notice too late that I've run out of trees and put food in all my barrels and the water is frozen and all my dwarfs die of thirst.

Hasn't happened in a while, but occasionally one little detail slips by and kills everyone

Usually though, the elves show up and I can steal all of their booze to tide me over.

[612DwarfAvenue]

Huh.

Does that also happen to you ingame?

[Max White]

Running out of booze is the major cause for my fortresses failing. You see in the time it takes me to walk all the way to the closest pond and back again, something has usually gone wrong, like a goblin siege, and I wasn't there to lead my dwarfs.
