When do they run out of booze?
Bear in mind I'm only 3/4 of the way through the first season, but Tigh's estranged wife (along with everybody else, it seems) had a bottle of ambrosia for their reunion, and there never seems to be a lack of hooch at the card games. I appreciate the necessity of strong drink, especially when 99.8% of humanity has been eradicated, but it seems the imminent drought of liquor will be a bigger problem than restoring democracy or finding tylium.
On second thought, don't answer that. Starbuck just made the jump back to Caprica to find the Arrow and I'm deathly afraid of spoilers.
Jesus, that's one nerdy post.
I knew I was going to love this show when the diplomat in the opening scene was idly looking at the old '70s Cylon specs. Then Number Six came in with her ED-209 counterparts.
And the fact that they found a role for Richard Hatch.
This is why I have spent so much time learnign to make beer and wine.
After the revolution, I will be king.
A non-spoilery, two word answer: Homemade stills.
Heh. I was thinking the same thing when I began watching the DVDs not too long ago. I think they've insinuated that they're making it themselves here and there, but that ain't loading bay moonshine that Tigh is guzzling.

What Paul said. And I was under the impression (to this point, anyway) that the stuff the deck crew was making will be their personal stash.
If shoeless hillbillies in Kentucky can figure out how to make fine corn mash, I've got to believe that folks capable of interstellar travel can replicate that technology.
Ditto. As long as there's a starch supply on station, there will be booze. It might produce "ambrosia" rather than ambrosia, but fermentation is trivial for any human civilization, and distillation is only slightly more complicated.
Provided that the necessary microbes for fermentation are present on board the spacecraft. If they are too sterile, or let too much radiation in, then no fermentation. Of course, there's surely a synthetic way to produce ethanol out of the necessary Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen. "Amborsia - It's made of people!"
I'm sure that the appreciation for the finer aspects of alcoholic beverages will decline as people settle for anything that contains ethanol.
This post is nowehre as nerdy as our esteemed colleague Rory over at Film Threat documenting his trip to Vega$. We should've chipped in and got him a hooker.
I suspect that no healthy human environment is going to lack in bacteria and/or yeast that can be co-opted for brewing.
Well golly....I'm glad I found this site. Can a Drow Elf bard use psionics, or edged weapons? Also do Bugbears have 2 hitdice or three? What level spell is burning hands, I forgot?
Frack, this is such a nerdy site.
Hey Don, I haven't documented anything yet though now in hindsight, I regret not having the chance to see The Amazing Johnathan at the Sahara. Next trip, I suppose.
maybe they've got the fleet drunk hooked up to some recycling suit, ala "dune", and the alcohol flows free and plenty? ;)
i love this series - especially what they did with starbuck and the new models of cylons.
jesus...that's one nerdy comment. *grin*
