Summary0004660: Booze quality not working properly
DescriptionDoing some SCIENCE on booze drinking, I find that a dwarf drinking embark-bought booze of their preferred type gives a "had a fine drink lately" thought, while drinking non-preferred embark-bought booze gives no thought; this makes sense. But a dwarf drinking booze brewed by a Legendary+5 brewer ([NATURAL_SKILL:BREWING:20]) gives a "had a truly decadent drink lately" thought for preferred booze and *still* no thought for non-preferred type (I've repeated this multiple times with the same results). So either booze's hidden quality value only has an effect on dwarfs with a preference for that type of booze, or the quality of Legendary+5 booze isn't enough to even get a "had a pretty decent drink lately" thought from dwarfs that don't prefer that type of booze.

According to Dwarf Fortress Talk 12 ( http://www.bay12games.com/media/df_talk_12_transcript.html [^] ), there is no such thing as booze quality yet.

Oops, booze brewed on site gives "had a truly decadent drink lately" regardless of how unskilled the brewer is (assuming the dwarf drinking prefers that type of booze).

Lots of people refer to alcohol having a hidden quality level - is there any proof that this "hidden quality level" even exists?

Since Toady said that there is no booze quality yet in the linked transcript, I'd say this hidden quality level doesn't exist. Perhaps people have misunderstood the thoughts that dwarves get from drinks?

From my recent experiments, it seems that there is no hidden quality currently. Maybe there used to be in 40d?

Since OP refuted this report in 0004660:0017820, I'm resolving this.

We can leave the speculation parts to the forums and the priests of Armok.
