/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

But it does something, or else they wouldn't drink it at all. So why not synthacannabis too? Not as good as the real stuff, but the synthahol equivalent.
I am also pretty sure I remember someone (maybe Wesley) being told they're too young to drink synthahol, so it has to be intoxicating on some level.
The silly realistic answer is network TV. The in universe answer? It's probably non-addictive and cheap. Synthacannabis, definitely falls under the network TV answer. In universe it probably exists, but is highly regulated.
I ended up looking it up on Memory Alpha and they imply that it's normally just a flavoring agent, but Seven and one alien both got drunk on it because they lacked the enzyme needed to break down the effects.
I mean I like a nice alcoholic drink, but if I have replicators that can make me pretty much any drink in the explored galaxy, why would I constantly choose one with the flavor of alcohol but that wouldn't get me drunk? You know, maybe there's that one crewman who just had to have their non-alcoholic beer at the end of a shift, but they're all slamming down synthehol (it's with an e, not an a, which doesn't work as well for me) drinks all the time.
I also love that they seem to have no problem at all with stimulants that are far stronger than caffeine. You'd think raktajino was cocaine the way they compared it to coffee.
They've all programmed their replicator profiles to include "Ethanol, 22.5ml, Chilled" in all orders they place containing the word "synthehol"
