Chris and alcohol

[CatParty]

I think he'll just be ordering whatever is cheapest.

He doesn't have the beer palette of Cole.

Chris needs a cocktail called Grow the Fuck Up. It's reality, logic, and reasoning mixed with hard cold facts.

 

[Henry Bemis]

He probably drinks for the same reason he got a bunch of Apple crap - he thinks it's the cool "trend" he's supposed to follow if he wants to stay up and up.

Drinking isn't really a trend so much as it is a social custom that's old as dirt, and Chris is aware of that (he's aware of how Bob 'n' Barb met, for example). It's just that he is already patently unaware of or uninterested in social customs in the first place that he wouldn't know where to start beyond what he's gleaned from media and what's been most effectively marketed to him.

It also doesn't help that he's still carrying around the baggage of scare-tastic 80s/90s PSAs and D.A.R.E. lessons (because if there was any lesson Chris did not sleep through in school, I'd bet it was D.A.R.E.)

Heh, well, either the cheapest, or the most tv advertised.

Oh definitely, he's thoroughly against beer in Sonichu, and in that video he wanted aired in schools. The fact that he was in special ed didn't help: slow-in-da-minds must be more susceptible to trying drugs/drinking before 21 because they appear to really hammer that kind of thing into their heads. Whereas me and the majority of my classmates were laughing and cracking jokes at the "This is your brain on drugs. Any questions?" ad, Chris and his classmates likely saw that ad as serious business.

generally the same.

Sometimes, but not always.

Mmm, no, pretty much always the same. Microbreweries usually can't afford tv spots, they invest all their money in making the beer. The only example of a brewery I'd drink that I see tv spots for is Sam Adams, but they're kind of a weird exception.

But Budweiser and Coors and the like are the ones you see commercials for that basically say "if you drink our beer, hot women will have sex with you". So of course that's what Chris will drink. Same exact reason he wears Axe body spray.

also, they distribute to stores and bars at lower cost. (sorry i'm a beer nerd and friends with a guy who works for a distributor, which by the way his company also tells them which larger breweries to push to their clients)

but i'm not disagreeing with you, marvin.

Eh, natty boh is a local beer that kids or hipsters in Baltimore drink. I don't know beer, so I can't tell if it's any good or not, but it's cheap and doesn't advertise on television. But I guess that's kind of a special case, I guess, because it's local. Or used to be, they stopped making it in Baltimore awhile ago.

 

[QueenMegan]

It's just another big boy trend reinforced by media and commercials. I doubt he actually enjoys alcohol.

 

[GFYS]

Considering the fucking mess that is his body, I don't feel comfortable presuming how alcohol would affect him. However, he's as suggestible as a 6 year old boy, so I can see him believing he's drunk after a Bud, and acting like a motard. I remember seeing studies where it was quite easy to trick ordinary people into acting drunk, when they were drinking something with no alcohol content. Chris is stupid enough that I genuinely believe he could be tricked - with some effort - into jumping off a building because someone he trusts gave him a RedBull.

 

[TheRetroReplay]

As far as we're aware, Chris is not an alcoholic. He may just be a casual drinker, maybe having a bottle or two of booze once a week if any. Going to a bar is expensive and Chris s pretty cheap when it comes to things that are not video games or tomgirl (if hes still doing that) related things.

I think Heineken is enough to get CWC drunk.

I think Heineken is enough to get CWC drunk.

But it's not 'MURICAN. so Chris being the TRUE and HONEST 'MURICAN BRONY he is wouldn't touch it.

I would love to see Chris' reaction to some Yorkshire paint stripper (i.e proper fooking beer!) though.

But, Heineken and Guiness are the best beer in the world!

Guinness I'll give you, but Heineken? No. I don't care if James Bond drank it, it was to wash the hooker spit out of his mouth.

CatParty I want to buy you a reeb now.

 

[Tomboy]

Last time I had Heineken it smelled like skunk. Only drank it because it was the only thing there. I could barely swallow it, tasted watery.

I recently got introduced to Hobgoblin and I really like it, bitter but with a chocolatey taste to it too.
