On the topic of potent potables, dwarves can also dig on the harder stuff.
Hee, hee. My current (new, actually . . . 4e and all) is a dwarf wiz taking up adventuring in his retirement; about 100 years old. As part of his back story he has been married several times. His 3rd marriage was to two elf girls during his 'academy' years. As he always says, "In my own defence . . . I did not know that the elf ceremony was a wedding, nor did I know that two elven women could choose to have the same husband, and frankly it wasn't exactly tobacco in my pipe in those days! That being said, those were good years."

I think it was Scott Kurtz in the PA/PvP podcast that said all Dwarves need alliterated names.
And whoever said that Dwarves need to stop having Scottish accents is a bad person. Ye cannae have a Dwarf withoot a Scottish accent! How can ye hav' any puddin' if ye don' eet yer meat!?
on a (slightly) more serious note: Someone mentioned the word Pride. Dwarves are proud creatures. Anything that has ever been done in all of history, has already been done by a Dwarf and done better.
Be manly. Even if you're playing a female Dwarf. You have to be the toughest there is. Grow a big beard and take pride in its maintenance (braids, oils, maybe even colouring and fragrances? Manly fragrances though...). Drink everyone else under the table (so, down to your eye level), then start a fight.
Take offense at everything. Come up with reasons why just about anything is an affront to Dwarven culture. Basically, your way (the Dwarven way) is the best way to do everything. No exceptions.
and the most important thing: remind the elves that they are a bunch of pansy-ass sissy girls. Can't stress that enough.

Female Dwarves with beards is a horrible cliche that needs to die a quick yet horribly painful death. Its like that horrible joke that you've heard several dozen times from a dozen people that wasn't even funny the first time it was told. There is numerous art done of non-bearded, attractive, female dwarves that still manage to fit into the dwarven feel.

in our current 3.5e game we're currently holed up in a Dwarven city. All signage for buildings involves something on an anvil being struck by a hammer.
Armoury/Blacksmith = a Shield/Sword on an anvil, being struck with a hammer.
Tavern = mug of ale on an anvil, being struck with a hammer
Library = a book on an anvil, being struck with a hammer.
Bakery = a loaf of bread on an anvil, being struck with a hammer.
mens/ladies restrooms = man dwarf/female dwarf on an anvil, being struck with a hammer.
Toolmaker = an anvil being struck by a hammer on an anvil, being struck with a hammer.
