[The video cuts to Belgium wearing her fatigues and looking at the glass of pale ale in her hand with a thinking face. Drinking culture here seemed to be as strong as it was back home. Which made sense, given that this place was a bit like a fantasy version of England.]

I've been thinking, what is alcohol like in everyone else's home?

lots of good beer.

[resistetmords]

Well yes, but what kind of beer? Like what do you prefer to drink, what do you enjoy to drink it with?

[zunge]

Ale, lager, Altbier, wheat beer to name a few. I'm okay with most kinds and I'll drink anything that tastes good, but I'd pass on anything too hoppy or bitter. Whatever tastes good with pizza and pasta, I guess.

Sake!

I haven't tried much of the European or Portuguese drinks because they seemed pretty terrible.

I had tequila here though, I liked the poprocks most! [Erm so he had a Poprock red margarita.]

[resistetmords]

[She kind of figured as much!]

Portugal's drinks are fine in their own right.

It sounds as though you might enjoy cocktails then. [She kind of figured as much. Pop Rocks the candy are more of an American thing.] Still this must be the first time you've had more diversified drinks I'm guessing.

[konpeito_aji]

Are they? What's common there now?

Yes! Although I still think chocolate is better in desserts than drinks.

It has been a while- I trust you're keeping yourself well?

The wine here is nowhere near as good as it was back home- and I can't find any bar that serves chacha either.

[Caster may be a bit of a wine snob don't mind her.]

[resistetmords]

Of course, how about you?

I don't think wine has ever really been Mr. England's thing. [She trails off a little bit.] Ah, that's a type of rum though isn't it?

[colchismagecraft]

Yes, well enough thank you. I've been making progress in my potion brewing- what are you drinking?

[Mr. England? That was a very weird turn of phrase. Let's file that away in strange oddities for now.]

Chacha's traditional C- Georgian pomace brandy. [Caster had to correct herself- a mental reminder that 'Colchis' wasn't named as such anymore.]

...But no, I don't believe England has ever been particularly known for its wine.

[And Hawk comes from a fantasy version of France, so yeah they have some interesting views where he comes from.]

Lots of variety where I came from. Definitely plenty of wine and beer but also lots of stronger stuff. Our bars were more like the restaurants or cafes here but with lots of drink to be had. Also because of the local political situation, some of the bars had other purposes as a cover for groups working against some of the bad shit going down back home. Was staff at one of those sorts of bars.

[resistetmords]

And... what do you enjoy personally?

[damn_kitsune]

Most people drink sake where I'm from. But you can also get things like rum, whisky and wine from the Nanban traders.

[resistetmords]

Ah, and what did you think of them? Did you have a preference at all in flavor, smell or anything?

[nocts]

Beer. Wine.
Mostly wine. White and red.

[says someone who spent days living in Citadel with royalty]

drinking is not my thing

[Although he should probably know more about it as a prince huh...? Oh well.]

[resistetmords]

Ah, well that's too bad then. But it sounds like you might enjoy more sweet drinks.

I'm not much of a drinker, and I haven't been back to my home country in a while anyway, but if you know what vodka is...a lot of that. A lot.

[resistetmords]

Vodka is fine... in small amounts. It was never really to my own taste, but when that's what you have, that's what you have.

[morns]

not that different from here.

( which, again, it's fantasy England and she's... from England. )

[resistetmords]

I've gathered as much.

[ Gareth hummed, leaning back in her chair. ]

My experience really kind of begins and ends with beer. I hear there are English liquors, but I've not tried any of them.

[resistetmords]

Mm, Mr. England's alcohol tends to focus more on gin and different ales. Then further North Mr. Scotland of course has his famous whiskey.

[She takes a swig out of her mug in thought, before popping a roasted peanut into her mouth.]

Did you have any specific beers that you favored then, Gareth?

[loyalbreed]

Delicious of course!

[ He says plainly with a sparkle on his face. ]

[resistetmords]

Well of course! But what sort of delicious do you prefer?

[She smiles over the rim of her glass.]

[fireandhoney]

There's all sorts of alcohol in my world. There's wines, meads, spirits, and so forth. My personal favorite is a sort of drink that has a rather sweet taste to it, called shein.

[resistetmords]

Oh? What is it brewed from?
