Whenever we see Kanar portrayed in the show it's always a thick viscous liquid for something most humans would consider a drink. But it occurred to me that the vast majority of the times we see it, it's not in the normal Cardassian environment. Cardassians like it much warmer than Humans and Bajorans. Would Kanar be less viscous on Cardasia than we see it on DS9? Even most instances when we see it on Cardassia, the founder is very sick and demanding the temperature be turned down in the facility.
Star Trek Shower thoughts?

Damar drinks it often on Cardassia Prime in season 7, and it seems pretty viscous there.

one of my favorite notes in the linked article is that the guy playing damar constantly got sugar highs from actually drinking the corn syrup they used in the kanar props.

I commented on that as well, the founder is always making them turn down the temperature in the facility.

Oh shit, that's a good point, because it's drying her out.

There are some drinks that humans like which are more viscous than others. This includes items like port wine and hot chocolate. You also have stews and gravies which use various thickening agents like okra or a roux.
I kind of think that Kanar is like an intoxicating gravy. You know, that might help out with American Thanksgiving.

There's an excellent drink made from port, sugar, chocolate and flour, which is basically undrinkably thick when not warmed.
But I've always considered Kanar to be a sort of eggnog

I got a contact sugar high just from clicking that link.

Maple syrup, or honey

Kanar has always reminded me of this fruit preserve a friend of mine gave to his pet gecko

It is canonically referred to as disgusting.

Iirc, in later seasons Damar seems to be knocking 'em back with much greater ease on Cardassia Prime than would be possible with the oily stuff seen on DS9.
