Potato Juice..... Why?

[Kortanis]

Why is it called potato juice? It's vodka. That's what vodka is. Just call it vodka lol

[Xpliciit]

It's like calling coffee dirty bean water

Because it's an automated system.

Kale, tomatoes and potatoes are all considered "vegetables" and make juice. If you labeled tomatoes as a fruit, then putting them in a keg would make "tomato wine" instead of "tomato juice".

Likewise, peppers are more akin to a vegetable imo, but the game considers them a fruit... so you make pepper jelly, rather than pickled peppers.

Pumpkins are fruit, but they're classified as a vegetable so that you make pumpkin juice rather than pumpkin wine.

That said, issues with the automated system aside, potato juice IS a real thing. The game already has beer, wine, ale and mead, though... It doesn't really need vodka.

One, I was joking around. Two, I've never in my life seen potato juice in the grocery store. Three, how dare you say that we don't need vodka? Personally I advocate that potatoes should make vodka, corn should make whiskey, and any other spirit that's made from crops we already have in the game should all be in there! :P

Potato juice has been used for both skin and as a healthy drink for a long time. But I don't think the process of making it RL is the same as in the game.

Hate to be that guy, but vodka isn't really made from potatoes. It can be, certainly has been when and where potatoes were cheaper, but typically it's made from grain.

Agree that it would be a cute addition to the game tho. Were I making it as a mod I'd add a still that makes spirits from juices/wines. Then you age it in a cask for $$$, because casks aren't broken enough already :P Who doesn't want some starfruit brandy.

There is a mod called Artisan Valley that adds both whiskey and vodka I believe. Could be wrong about the last but I think it is included. Haven't checked the status of that mod after the update though

Wait potato juice has alcohol?

[HeinrichK]

vodka is destilled. this is just potatoe juice.

Pam makes the same mistake in her bulletin board request... lol. She thinks it'll be vodka but it's just potato juice

Peppers ARE fruit and pepper jelly is a real thing.

Pickles (pickled cucumbers) are also a fruit. And cucumber jelly is also a thing.

Always the right time for musings about distilled spirits, amigo.

I guess that regardless of realism it would be a bad influence to pursue the debuff beyond Tipsy into Drunk and then Smashed and finally Comatose. Then wake up in the clinic at 2pm the next day smelling like your own vomit with a citation crammed in your pocket that says you were caught throwing your own poo at the Joja Mart sign...

Yup, every juice can eventually turn into alcool. Not all of them are good but you can turn everything into poison, lol.

Because vodka sounds too "modern," Stardew Valley needs a traditional name
