Beer is produced at a brewery. This process yields 5 beer for 25 hops with very little time (17 work). Beer is consumed by colonists who are addicted, stressed, or on an alcohol binge. Beer is useful for mood management as it provides a positive mood modifier to offset stress. Too much use for stress relief will lead to alcohol addiction (Verification?).

Beer provides a huge 17% boost to a colonist's joy.

Beer can be wielded as a weapon with the following stats.

Melee Attack	Damage Amount	Cooldown (seconds)
Blunt	7	1.8

Inebriation

Consuming beer raises a colonist's alcohol level by 15% per beer. Alcohol level, not displayed in-game, determines inebriation level and falls automatically over time. Beer's effect on mood and pain can help a colonist with poor mood or in extreme pain. Once a colonist becomes drunk the game records it so it may be used later in an art description.

Label	Alcohol Level (%)	Mood (+)	Pain Reduction (%)	Side Effects
Buzzed-hidden	<10	-	-	-
Warm	10	10	10	manipulation -2%
Tipsy	25	15	20	consciousness -10%
Drunk	40	20	50	consciousness -35%, vomiting
Hammered	70	25	70	consciousness -60%, vomiting
Blackout	90	-	90	consciousness 10% max (incapacitated)

Hangover

Once a colonist reaches a drunk state they will go through the hangover stages after their inebriation wears off. If a colonist drinks beer while hungover they will be both hungover and inebriated.

Label	Mood	Side Effects
Hungover (pounding)	-10	consciousness -18%, vomiting
Hungover (strong)	-5	consciousness -8%
Hungover (slight)	-2	consciousness -3%
