Are cats suppose to be raging alcoholics?

[Lakstoties]

I don't know why...  But for some strange reason, I had horde of cats that were THE worst alcoholics I've ever seen.  Kittens were getting blackout drunk.  Despite the fact there were meals and proper meat available...  (And the bodies of our enemies for them to consume.  Seriously, there was a prison break, prisoner got killed, and they descended AND ATE HIS HEAD OFF.)

I've sold them off, because I just didn't want to deal with the guilt of KITTENS getting carcinomas.

I don't even know anymore.  It's a nice place, really...  It is.  No need to drink that heavily.  Holy shit.

It sounds like the cats are in a zone that keeps them from getting to other food. That would explain why they did choose to eat the prisoner instead of surviving on alcohol.

That gave me quite a good laugh.

I checked on one of the colony Yorkshire Terriers one day and found that he had Alcohol Tolerance (massive). Then a few days later it and three other Yorkies were simultaneously killed in a massive "Zzzzt" explosion.

I had a similar problem with a litter of rabbits getting blotto on beer. Lol

And once I rescued a rat from a wildfire. It didn't insta-tame so once it was well enough to walk it found it's way into my beer supply and got so brain damaged I had to put it down. Lol

I had the same problem in A16, including dogs. They were worse than Shane MacGowan in a party.
Then I realized that I shouldn't let them be around the freezers, and problem solved. Well, not their carcinomas, but at least my colonists won't have no more thirst.

I had a pack of drunkard snakes in a16, went right past to "open the beer" and somehow tongue it out of the bottle.

I've had something like this happen to a bear once. He ended up addicted to go-juice.

He had access to food, like the other bears, but I guess he just wanted to get high.

The tolerance buildup of drugs in animals (which, if I understand the system correctly, also controls side effects like carcinomas) is offset by their body size. So if a beer gets a human kind of drunk, it'll get a tiny cat very drunk, and that influences how quickly they develop issues.

The bear is something of an accomplishment, though...

This is quite normal, ive had a thrumbo drink itself to death because my stack of beer was the only thing it could consume and i was busy fighting pirates ...

You have corpses outside, you should put them in a cooled room and just let the cats have at it ...
