They've got synthehol, which has the same intoxicating effect as alcohol except it's non-addictive and the drunkenness is "easy to dismiss" so maybe they have something like that with other drugs too.

Synthehol was a ferengi invention, though. It was meant to be something you could drink during a negotiation without actually getting drunk while the person you're drinking and negotiating with does get drunk and easier to bamboozle. Then the Federation got hold of it and it was all downhill from there.

Synthehol is also only mentioned as something Starfleet officers drink, presumably mainly when they're on duty or on their lunch break.

WampaLord posted:This brings us back to the dumb idea of replicated food tasting worse than freshly prepared food. Actually, I have a theory on why this makes sense. Ever had Orange Juice with added Calcium? It always has this awful taste like someone just crushed up a handful of calcium tablets and dumped them in the bottle. We're always hearing about how the replicator adds nutritional supplements to your food to make it healthier, perhaps that's what's going on here. Replicator is jacking up the taste with add ins. And they don't even realize that's why it tastes differently, so they don't know to switch off the supplements. Or worse, they do know but the Replicator isn't set up to allow it.

I figured people were either being snobs or else it was like the replicator produces one very good example of the dish... but it's always the same dish, less any minor modifications like temperature or whatever.

WampaLord posted:This brings us back to the dumb idea of replicated food tasting worse than freshly prepared food. Replicated food is absolutely as delicious as non-replicated food. The most reasonable theory for why even non-food-snobs might occasionally have an issue with it is that every replicated meal of a given recipe on the replicator menu is always perfectly identical. It's the EXACT same meal every single time, right down to the individual molecules, as you point out. That would probably get a little recognizable once you've eaten a given meal a few times. That's it, though, anything past that particular issue is all tied up in ideologies and snobbery and bullshit, rather than how it actually tastes.

For resolving the "it's identical every time" issue, you could probably like, load in ten minor variations of each of your favorite dishes and program the computer to give you a random variation every time you ask for that food unless you specify otherwise.

People who aren't good at / interested in cooking -- which presumably would be even more people in this situation than what we see today -- don't necessarily know what makes some food taste better than other food (to their preference). So even though they could theoretically tell the replicator how to make it better, they don't know how. And instead of learning how, they'd rather just complain about it, since it makes good smalltalk. Seems plausible.
