Author Topic:   Is Saratov an Alcoholic? Who drinks most on the Unity?

tOFfGI posted 11-26-98 05:18 AM ET
I say either Zakharov (I hope they change the name back soon) or Morgan. Possibly lal. or Miriam...
What do you think?
What would each one drink?
We know Saratov drinks Vodka...

No, no, no, it's Skye. She's got a still set up in the greenhouse; why else do you think she spends so much time in there? ;>

Definately Lal and Garland ... they must be so depressed to be surrounded by such serfish idiots !!!
DJ RRebel posted 11-26-98 06:49 AM ET
oh ... and selfish idiots too !!!
How the hell did I type serfish ???

Drinking ahbits:
Zakharov: vodka, we have it i the story
Lal: His name says it all
Santiago: She gotta be on all available psycho-pharmaceuticals, but no alc, I guess
Deirdre: No alcohol, more smoking stuff...
Morgan: Little alcohol, but high quality
Miriam: Gets her kicks out of fanaticism - no alc required
Yang: Keeping it all secret...
Garland: From his leadership abilities, he gotta be under some kind of sedation...
Me (though not aboard the unity, or am I ?): For the last two weeks I've been so sober, I could cry...

Zakharov - vodka (that's a given)
Dierdre - seeing as how she'ssupposed to be Scottish, she must obviously drink Scotch! (And since alchol is a depressant, it would explain why she's always staring out the windows.)
Lal - I'm guessing tea. Being a Peacekeeper and a doctor, he just doesn't strike me as the drinking kind.
Yang - Saki or ginseng tea. (There's a stereotype, eh?)
Morgan - Fine wines and champagne.
Santiago - Hard liquors. I'm guessing JD (Jack Daniel's for those who don't know).
Godwinson - coffee addict. Possibly with rum when she's having a bad go of it.
Garland - definitely a beer man, right DJ RRebel?
DJ RRebel posted 11-26-98 11:53 AM ET
Ummm .. I wouldn't think so ... I would think Garland would be more like myself ... A Jack man !!! I see Santiago more in the Taquila range ... (bleeeecht) !!!
DJ RRebel posted 11-26-98 11:54 AM ET
All I know is that I've got a couple of bottles of Jack and Southern in my bags !!!
Tolls posted 11-26-98 12:49 PM ET
I've always had this picture in my head of Deirdre holding a Single Malt in one hand and a sampling of the old wacky in the other...

Everyone probably drinks like crazy, I mean what else is there to do when you're sat on a spaceship moving along quietly (sort of).
Gilgamesch posted 11-26-98 01:03 PM ET
Everyone probably drinks nothing. Why should anyone put any supply of booze on the Unity?
They are scheduled to sleep the whole time till the arrival and then they should be busy with the landing and the biulding of a colony.

Well, building can be tough work, especially on a new world, with no breathable atmosphere. I figure they would want the alcohol on board so they could keep the workers stress low, & maybe make the people a wee bit happier.
With all that stuff happening on board Unity right now, I would probably be getting wasted out of my mind!!

Go and read Holdeman's "Forever War".
If on Unity board is sugar in any form, there would be alcohol - sooner or later. It is no problem to make still and produce strong liquor or make some light sweet wine using only two glass bottles and one rubber pipe...

It'll be one of their top priorities when they get to Chiron, I'm sure of that.
Gilgamesch posted 11-27-98 07:40 AM ET
Sounds like a brilliant idea.
Build a brewery first, and all unhappiness is history ;-)

Tolls posted 11-27-98 07:56 AM ET
Considering beer and wine are two of the earliest produce archaeologists have found (barring the pots they were in, of course... ), it's safe to assume it would be on Chiron in no time at all.
BoomBoom posted 11-27-98 09:16 AM ET
The Brewery Special Project. Could be the same as the Oracle in Civ?
DJ RRebel posted 11-27-98 01:41 PM ET
I want a NIM & Coke !!!
Or even better >>> N1M & Pineapple juice !!!
That will definately knock your socks off though !!!
AUH20 posted 11-27-98 07:51 PM ET
Coke is good. I for one, don't drink alchohol at all. Coke Coke Coke Coke Coke Coke Coke Coke Coke Coke Coke
DJ RRebel posted 11-28-98 10:57 AM ET
I wonder if the whole coke/pepsi battle will be over by the 22nd century ???
Yo_Yo_Yo_Hey posted 11-28-98 01:15 PM ET
Yeah, it'll be over. Coke & Pepsi will be replaced by a cheaper synth-coke & synth pepsi, & then those two will start a new battle over which is better.

Would Hivesters drink Victory Gin like in Orwell's 1984, or Vodka like in the Soviet Union?
Yo_Yo_Yo_Hey posted 11-28-98 05:28 PM ET
It depends on which of those is stronger, acronyms. The Hivesters conditions are so miserable, they'll want the strongest. Which one of those is stronger, Victory Gin, or Vodka??
Will Spartans get drunk a lot?? They are soldiers....

YYYH ... speaking of multi-posting ... LOL
Back to the Coke/Pepsi issue, I thought they were already synthetic ???
Both Gin and Vodka taste nasty on their own, but I guess gin straight is worse !!!
Spoe posted 11-30-98 02:28 AM ET
Yeah. DJ RRebel, no more cocaine. :P
MikeH II posted 11-30-98 09:27 AM ET
Shame they took that out, kind of spoils the "Can't beat the feeling" tag.
Gilgamesch posted 11-30-98 09:47 AM ET
Coke doesn't really taste good. It is just some sugar water with some colour. There are other non alohol drinks which are much better.
Gilgamesch
DJ RRebel posted 11-30-98 11:43 AM ET
Like pineapple juice !!! Yummy !!!
Actually, with all these mergers going through, I wonder if Coke and Pepsi will be one company by the 22nd century !!!
Gilgamesch posted 12-01-98 03:22 PM ET
They probably already are. They just told nobody so that they don't get any problems with the state.
Gilgamesch
DJ RRebel posted 12-01-98 04:05 PM ET
Tell me about it, I hear that's starting to happen alot !!!
Here in Canada, I know CN & CP have a conspiracy going on !!!
Mortis posted 12-06-98 06:49 AM ET
Zakharov isn't an alchoholic! He drinks vodka because he's Russin!
PS Pepsi will be better that coke on Chiron.
DJ RRebel posted 12-06-98 11:08 AM ET
Mortis .. Pepsi is better than Coke in Australia & NZ too .. LOL .. because everything is backwards there !!! J/K !!! (Sorry, couldn't resist)
Yo_Yo_Yo_Hey posted 12-06-98 01:21 PM ET
Coke will be better than Pepsi everywhere! Low-G, High-G normal-G, everywhere. Even in No-G Coke will triumph over the evil hive like nature of Pepsi! They used the Spice Girls in a commericial for crying out loud! You can't speak to highly of a company the uses the Spice Girls in its commercials! That's why Coke rocks!
Garland drinks most on the Unity. Who wouldn't with all those crazy bastards on board!
Your faithful & hell-bent NIMadier general,
YYYH
Mortis posted 12-07-98 06:02 AM ET
It's not backwards, just upside down. Speaking of Pepsi and spacetravle. There has been a light add campaign by Pepsi, for a competition. Apparently you can win a trip into space.
Now call me old fasioned, but isn't space travel only for those relay fit guys who can withstand extreme g-forces. And sending someone to space is a bit odd for a competition.
PS I don;t see coke doing any stuff like that!
tOFfGI posted 12-07-98 08:58 AM ET
Whatever else there is there's always the real thing.
Gilgamesch posted 12-07-98 02:57 PM ET
Does Pepsi still exist? I haven't seen snybody drinking that stuff for ages.
Gilgamesch
Yo_Yo_Yo_Hey posted 12-07-98 09:15 PM ET
Yeah, Pepsi still exists, but it's usually buried in small crates in the back of the store. In the meantime, the great & dominant Coke takes over the former Pepsi spaces. Mmm, Coke....
Your faithful & hell-bent NIMadier general,

Spoe posted 12-07-98 10:01 PM ET
Soon both will be overtaken by the great Ale-8-1! Muahahaha!
:P
DJ RRebel posted 12-08-98 06:10 AM ET
I think Pepsi only exists in Ohio !!!
Talon posted 12-08-98 06:29 PM ET
I'm betting that Morgan's Beer and Pop Co.(A subsidiary of Morgan Industries) will be getting all of the cash. Stock anyone?

Actually, I think most of the SERIOUS drinking is being done by the natives of the planet. After all, if a shipload of homicidal fanatics was roaring toward OUR planet at an appreciable fraction of the speed of light, what would WE do?
