Just had two of a traders caravan Muffalo drop dead (conveniently in my stockpile).

As the screenshot shows, the one selected and the other dead one above it are both dead from, i'm guessing, drinking too much booze?

Unsure if this is a bug or "working as intended", figured i'd add what i found here.

There's no outright bug here, AFAIK.  And death-by-alcohol is a thing in RimWorld.

Alcohol fills the stomach and only gives a little nutrition.  If there's no other food source, pawns will consume as much alcohol as they can to try to meet their nutritional needs.  This results in getting hammered and blacking out for a while - while the malnutrition slide continues.  The pawn will wake up, go for the nearest nutrition (moar beer!!) and black out again.  This repeats until a better food source is in range while they're awake, or until they die.

But it's interesting that there's no malnutrition listed on the muffalo.
