Hey, today when I was playing as German Empire I faced with "the alcohol problem". I can't build artillery at all, I had tried to buy it on the market and I didn't make any progress. So, what I should do? Army without altillery is so weak, and I also can't build guards. So, what is the problem. The year is ~1896.
no alcohol to build an artillery in Victoria 2

Weird.Alcohol usually isn’t that big of a problem in my games.
Especially as Germany you should be Nr1 in prestige and buy first.
Did you try to buy booze on stock. This might work.
Or build booze factories.

Alcohol is often difficult to procure in the early-to-mid game, once it suddenly starts being consumed in volume by pops around the world. If you build sufficient numbers of factories or have even a reasonably high status (Secondary Power), it's usually not a problem by 1860 or so. If you don't build several factories, then your own Sphere probably doesn't have enough, and then you're forced to buy it on the world market. The issue I have with the game is that your government can't reserve at least a small amount of domestic production for military needs.
If a state produces grain I build a liquor factory, same with fruit/wine. If there's also coal I build a glass factory. If there's also iron then I don't do any of this and build only steel-related factories.
When I can afford it I always buy and stock 2000 of anything I can possibly need for my army/navy/constructions.
