So, thanks to Toady and BEEEEEEEES, we now have mead. This means we can now brew alcohol from creature products. Our new task is to twist this to our advantage and create that fabled dream from generations past - blood wine. Let's get to it, dwarves!

[Grimlocke]

Was thinking about making blood pudding, but due to creatures not having any actual tissue made out of blood they dont actualy yield the stuff upon being butchered.

One way around this I could think of is to make creatures milkable for blood, though this will no doubt cause trouble like ending up with a bucket of nasty blood when you just wanted some cow milk. Adding this to dwarves might be good for laughs, maybe they can even 'milk' their own blood, make booze out of it and drink it.

DF realy does allow some pretty nasty mods though. Could make for a realy nasty underworld mod, too bad we cant mod magma rivers.

Combine this with dwarves shearing off their skin for leather, laying eggs and then eating them, and you'll really have something. Self sustaining forts with only dwarves, no seeds or animals.

I made a reaction to 'press' blood from meat.
If you want it add this:

   [MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT:EXTRACT_BLOOD:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:BLOOD]

to the meat template in material_template_default and add this:

[REACTION:PRESS_MEAT]

   [PRODUCT:100:3:LIQUID_MISC:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:meat:EXTRACT_BLOOD]
      [PRODUCT_TO_CONTAINER:barrel]
   [SKILL:PRESSING]

to the reaction_other file and add PRESS_MEAT to permitted reactions for your civ. the result is the same as the barrels of blood you can take with you on embark, but be warned it doesn't work well with ichor.

[Girlinhat]

Of course, that just produces blood.  It doesn't make alcohol from it.  Although blood can be fun too, you can place the barrel somewhere, go in and forbid the blood, then dump the barrel (not the blood) and your dwarf will dump the blood on the ground and then put the barrel in the local dump.

[Assassinfox]

You'd have to make a reaction to change the blood from LIQUID_MISC to DRINK.

[elf-fondling human]

That could be pretty cool. Drinking the blood of Elves on every anniversary of your initial embark in celebration of Armok's endless kindness...in a temple dedicated to Armok. With a blood waterfall flowing in the middle, kept running with a pump stack leading from an elf-blood reservoir up to the top of the wate-er, bloodfall.

[Grimlocke]

Blood waterfall arnt possible right now, even with a creature that is constantly bleeding (which is possible with the secretion tag!) you wont be able to have it fall off. The blood just lingers at the edge of the fall.

[elf-fondling human]

A beer-fall, then.

[Girlinhat]

Beer-falls are estimated to eventually be possible, but actually brewing enough beer to sustain the beer-fall is going to be a megaproject in itself.  Still, the happy thoughts will be enormous.  Urist McHauler has been ecstatic lately.  He drank deep from a beer-fall lately.

Beer-falls won't work for the same reason blood-falls won't. Booze is not a liquid.

Actually, I'm imagining combining shearing "leaves", and laying "fruit" with plantmen. Who don't need to eat, and for whom drinking alcohol is suicide (totally allowed to drink alcohol, though. For the Lulz). Just need ingested poisons to work.

Milking produces sap which can be boiled into syrup. Different syrup by caste.

[idgarad]

not be a total douche but last I checked blood doesn't have enough sugars in it for yeast to convert to booze... Blood pudding makes sense.... but turning blood into booze is on the same level of turning water into wine... just the evil version of it I guess.

Plantmen blood? Is sap. Like maples give.

The thing is, "booze" is the only access we have to anything resembling drinks. Liquids aren't at the raw level, so nobody can really do anything to those, but items are, and booze is an item. So there isn't a seperation of alchoholic and non-alchoholic drinks as of yet. Ideally, it'd be more "making blood drinkable" but that isn't possible in a direct fashion.
