[ Dutch winces. She’s been in that situation, too. The results have varied. On one occasion she drank the challenger under the table, but the rest of the time? Dutch wound up with a friend holding her hair back so that she could puke more easily. Drinking contests are ugly business. ]

I’d say, if he really is a douche, that’s when you sneak some eye drops into his drink. I save that for when people are truly pissing me off, though. It’s a nasty trick and I’m probably a bad person for using it.

[ Her lips curl into a smile. ]

Alcohol isn’t so bad. Even the lightest of drinkers I know enjoy a glass of champagne on New Year’s Eve.

[ Her opinions are bound to change a little later, too, when she winds up dazed and intoxicated on an alien planet for a full year, but for now she’s definitely pro-alcohol.

She grins at him when he voices his doubts about being a good friend. ]

No worries. I’m not sure I’m the best friend, either. If we do in fact wind up being friends we can be a pair of so-so friends.

What's that do, make it taste bad? [ 'bad' being relative, and andyr's face scrunches up some, with a frown. ] Well, worse.

[ andyr's never tried to drink ethanol, but that's what he'd liken the taste of bucky's vodka to. or like he was trying to sterilize himself from the inside out. he shakes his head after a moment, clearing the memory of bucky and his demon vodka. ]

I'll take your word for it, 'til I can find something easier to swallow.

[ champagne - he keeps the word in mind. not that he doesn't know what it is, but there's a few million different kinds of alcohol even before factoring in alien stuff.

that awkward smile grows a bit more confident, a laugh even springing from him for the commentary, and andyr seems to be relaxing some. enjoying conversation, even. will wonders never cease? ]

Glad we're starting off with the bar set low.

[ She smirks a little bit. ] Not quite. It’s causes diarrhea and some other problems which is why you only save it for the real assholes. If you just want to make someone’s vodka taste bad, you could always sneak some white vinegar into it. Corrupting good vodka, though… [ Dutch makes a tsk, tsk, tsk with her tongue and laughs. ]

You don’t have to drink it straight, you know. There are lovely things called cocktails. You mix alcohol with juice and other things that mask the alcohol’s taste. [ Dutch smiles. It feels a little bit like she’s doing something wrong by teaching someone the pro’s of drinking, but that’s a feeling she can easily shrug off. ]

Hey, with low standards you’ll never be disappointed.

[ The story of her life. Except the statement isn’t entirely true and Dutch knows it. Still, she smiles and shrugs her shoulders. ]
