Dwarfs dying in my tavern, covered in vomit. What could be the reason?

Also: I put their dead bodies in coffins, in a dedicated tomb, BUT on the coffin-tile it shows their skeletons instead of the coffin. Is this a (graphical) bug? When I click the tile, it says the body is IN the coffin, I am confused..

Lol did you assign a tavernkeeper to the tavern? There has been a long known bug in the game where the tavernkeeper will keep giving people booze until they die of alcohol poisoning.

The solution is to just not assign a tavern keeper and people will get their own drinks.

Don't hold me too it but if you attach a dormitory to your tavern the dwarfs should go pass out there. There is an actual attached zone button. You can't just build it next to the tavern.

The tavern keeper just assumes everyone in the tavern is thirsty even if they're unconscious.

Tavern keep gives people booze > People over time get drunk, vomit and pass out > Tavern keep keeps pouring booze into the open mouths of passed out people on the floor > They drown from booze.

Dwarven Tavern keeps are build different.

Welcome to Dwarf Fortress, enjoy the show.

Damn, that's exactly what I suspected. Knew of the bug, but assigned a keeper anyways. Hopefully this gets fixed. Thanks for the confirmation/reminder.

Have you tried removing the tavern and placing it again?

Sadly, my tavernkeepers never did that! I always have them in the hope to see this phenomenon.

I think it also depends on the personality of the tavern keeper, and would not call it a bug. Most do their job just fine, think it was something about moderation. I once appointed my queen as tavern keep, to cheer her up as I got her way to early and she was depressed from living in a muddy hole. She killed like 7 dwarves in a year through alcohol poisoning including her husband. Appointed someone else and things were fine.
