- "Mug of lum for your thoughts, kid?"
- ―Han Solo to Luke Skywalker[1]
Lum ale, also known simply as justlum,[2][3] was a foaming,[1] intoxicatingalcoholicliquor,[4] and was considered a strong ale.[5] It was popular in theCorellian sector, where it was the primary ingredient in drinking competitions termed "lumguzzling." While an individual felt the common effects of alcohol when drinking lum ale, it was impossible to overdose on it.Jacob Nive enjoyed drinking it, as didThwim[6].
When drunk in smaller quantities, the drink was said to taste sweeter and also slightly soapy, though not to an unpleasant degree.
Following the disastrousBattle of Gazzari, the mercenary commanderJarrow Rusher consumed an entire bottle of lum ale in order to come to terms with the heavy losses sustained by his mercenary group—Rusher's Brigade. In order to avoid discussing the refugee "situation" aboard his shipDiligence with theJedi KnightKerra Holt, Rusher withdrew the room by feigning that he needed to go to the toilet in order to relieve himself. Instead, Rusher took that opportunity to hide in a recreational room.[3]
Lum ale was a popular drink in theTailfin Cantina ofLamaredd as of29 BBY.[7]
During the earlyyears of theGalactic Empire, at a launch party to mark the maiden journey of the luxuryhover trainGem of Alderaan on theplanetAlderaan, theTwi'lek fashion designerLynaa and a number of other guests staged a lumguzzling contest within the train'sDecadence nightclub.[8]
