Because there's no message for running out of booze. There probably should be a message when you have less than a certain amount left.

There is, though it doesnt pause the game. It says something like "Urist McThirsty cancel give water: no water available."

It sounds like it applies to animals or hospitalized dwarves, but it actually always happens when I run out of booze.

Blue Dwarf has been happy lately. He did some !!science!! recently. He admired a fine forum post lately. He was enraged by a forum troll recently. He was upset by the delayed release of the new version of Dwarf Fortress lately. He took joy in planning a noble's death recently.

Aha!  Is that when that happens?  I also always assumed it was medical treatment.  It's pretty easy to set the game to pause on any particular message.

i just always make sure there is plenty, and i really mean plenty, of alcohol available. 140 dwarfs, 900 units of alcohol

that way, if i get distracted by a project, and i suddenly think "oops, how much is left" i usually have some left, if not too much

Jam a door with its corpse and let all the goblins in. Hey, nobody said it had to be a weapon against your enemies.
