It is noteworthy that alcohol does not spoil, while still providing saturation - therefore turning excess ingredients into alcohol for storage is a valid strategy.<br>
It is noteworthy that at least once distilled alcohol does not spoil, while still providing saturation - therefore turning excess ingredients into alcohol for storage is a valid strategy. Note that this only applies to the second stage of alcohol brewing - distillation - and not to "onlx" fermented alcohol.<br>
Imbibing alcohol however leads to visual impairment - the player character will swerve their head from left to right, which actually affects movement in the game, since it is hard to walk in a straight line without actively counteracting the movement direction chosen by the swerving head.<br>

The amount and quality of alcohol imbibed influences the severity and duration of impairment.

Fermented alcohol provides both satiety and a nutrition value in the fruit category - regardless if the source material actually was a fruit or not.<br>
Fermented alcohol provides both satiety and a nutrition value in the fruit category - regardless if the source material actually was a fruit or not. Fermented alcohol spoils just like its source material.<br>
The ratio mentioned refers to the amount of ingredients required in comparison to the alcohol received. The time refers to the duration the ingredients need to be sealed inside a barrel.<br>

Compared to merely fermented alcohol, distilled alcohol offers the same or even less overall saturation and no nutritional benefit. It does however cause worse visual impairment when consumed, and similarly does not rot or turn bad with time.<br>

Additionally, once distilled alcohol is the first step to acquiring Aqua Vitae - twice distilled alcohol - which can be used to craft alcohol soaked [[Healing|Bandages]].<br>
