booze and ds

[schmerica]

Okay, so thinking on a point dsudis made months and months ago about extrapolating from canon -- who is smarter than me and remembers the different instances where we see the characters drinking?

So far what I remember is:

a) Fraser canonically says he doesn't drink
b) Ray Kowalski mentions martinis in the come-ons in BDtH, but I'm almost sure we never actually see him drinking or having drank (see the Despondency in Ladies Man)
c) Ray Vecchio I'm pretty sure we see on more than one occasion, but the only one I remember now is the wine in Juliet is Bleeding.
d) Frannie I am drawing a total blank, other than her mentioning asking Fraser out for drinks in The Deal.
e) Thatcher is definitely visibly tipsy in Odds, and I think we may see her with wine on other occasions, but I wouldn't swear it.
f) Stella and Orsini's champagne explodes in Strange Bedfellows.

Otherwise the only thing else I remember is that Welsh's and Vecchio's fathers were both either explicitly stated or strongly implied to be alcoholics.

So who has a tighter grasp of canon than me, hmm?

I can remember two times that we see RayK drinking. In Ladies Man, with the security guy that gets killed in the strip club. He and Ray drink from the flask Tracy Jenkin's security guy offers. I think in Odds (?) Ray and Welsh drink some amber liquid from glasses in Welsh's office. They're talking about whether they think Fraser can pull off being in the poker game, I do believe.

Ladies Man = Mountie Sings the Blues, you mean?

Yes, Mountie Sings the Blues. Sorry, I'm an idiot tonight. :sigh:
