He will drink if you don't hit it off. He indicated he drinks. So he's not
probably a drinker, he drinks. Frequently, by his own admission.
And what if he was under-exaggerating his drinking? I doubt there was a option for
drinks to oblivion.
"...alcohol feels like it is STILL inserting itself."
No, you are inserting yourself into a situation where alcohol will be present. Frequently.
