[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 2304682, member: 14159"] Remember that technically there are synthetic non-alcoholic fuels that are what are "supposed" to be consumed, like in the episode "Mother's Day" (what gets Bender to rip up the greeting-card-bot), and when he swore off alcohol in "Hell is Other Robots" he still had to be consuming fuel from somewhere. [b]Chemical Power Cells[/b] To help them work on more primitive worlds away from ample power grids, the BD-1 was designed with an unusual power system. Its power cells convert liquid chemical fuels into its operational power. The factory recommends synthetic fuels specifically made for this purpose (in a quiet attempt to make more money by selling fuel for the droids in), but most droids (and their owners) find it is cheaper and just as effective to use alcoholic beverages. A droid with Chemical Power Cells must consume one unit of fuel per day (an alcoholic drink or unit of synthetic fuel) or suffer 1d4 points of Charisma, Wisdom and Dexterity damage due to "starvation". This damage is restored once fuel is consumed, but cannot be repaired until the droid is refueled. BD-1 units that are suffering from lack of fuel are noted for developing a characteristic rust around their vocabulator plate. Many BD-1 units with negative personality quirks use their consumption of alcohol as an excuse for their poor behavior. [/QUOTE]
