Chapter: New Kinds

Section: Liquids

Liquids are a kind of value in the present system. By default, only water and a null value, "nonliquid", are defined, but we may revise the list by adding entries to the Table of Liquids, like this:

    Table of Liquids (continued)

	liquid	potable	flavor
	absinthe	true	"It tastes bitter."
	motor oil	false	--

The potable entry indicates whether the liquid can be drunk.

The flavor sentence is optional, but is used to construct more interesting results for tasting and drinking, as demonstrated below. Providing a flavor sentence for a non-potable liquid will never have any interesting effect.
