Subject: [PATCH] Makes unathi able to drink ethanol and eat nutriments
 (#23119)

Per unathi lore's request.
Unathi can now eat nutriments, but it has half efficiency, while protein
was upgraded to double efficiency.
They can now also drink ethanol with no issues. Note they had an
existing ethanol weakness making them 20% more vulnerable to it compared
to humans.
