Comment on How did money work on deep space 9?
fleton@lemmy.world 7 months agoThere has been several episodes that talk about how poor the quality the food and drink are. Plus Starfleet replicators cannot make alcohol.
Plus Starfleet replicators cannot make alcohol.
I don’t think that’s accurate, we saw an episode of lower decks where the group were discussing that Starfleet replicators use a similar chemical that has much shorter lived symptoms.
The exact quotes were tense asking how they were all so drunk when x thing existed and Mariner replying she had started asking real alcohol after the 2 drink.
Replicators make synthehol and alcohol, you choose which variant you want or program in your standard options. Snobs like Scotty and Jean-Luc’s brother say they can taste the difference which is why Guinan keeps “it is green” behind the bar.

They can in TNG at least. There is an episode about people being cryogenically frozen in the past, because of uncurable illnesses. They unfroze them, and one dude ordered alcohol. He even said it was the best glass he has ever had.

Whiskey, I believe. I bet the replicator gave.him Synthohol with whiskey flavoring.

Iirc it’s that they find Scotty from OG through plot magic and he complains about synthehol not being scotch.
Data says someone else (guinan?) Has a bottle or two stowed somewhere of something similar…

Picard had the bottle stashed away
