From [livejournal.com profile] sodzilla: Five alcoholic beverages Athos would never touch, even if the alternative were dread sobriety.

1) Anjou Wine. He only drank it when he couldn't find champaigne anyway, and after the affair with the poison, it lost its savour.

2) Rum. Drinking is supposed to be an expereince, not a contest to see who can be unconscious first, which is the only reason a man would want to drink some wretched sticky liquid they make in the West Indies out of cane trees.

3) Anything offered to him by a member of the Cardinal's Guards.

4) The beer at that one tavern Aramis likes in the Latin Quarter. He isn't certain how the proprietor makes it, but Porthos has loudly and repeatedly speculated that goat piss is involved, and now nobody can drink it.

5) Laudanum, even when the surgeon offered it to him after the fight in the Rue Ferou. For drowning pain, it's wine or nothing.

Re: Number 4 - What would draw Aramis to a presumably somewhat sketchy tavern? He's just... twee... enough that I have a hard time picturing him in a real dive. Or maybe I'm just putting too much thought into one sentence. Otherwise, lovely! Athos is such a fun character, and these all fit him well.

It's in the Latin Quarter, near the Sorbonne. Drunk university students debate philosophy and theology there.

Aramis likes to shoot down their theories.

That's brilliant! I can just see Aramis taking smug pleasure in his ability to out-argure pompous university students.

*laughs at #2* Drinking as an experience, indeed! Or maybe re-experience considering that for Athos drinking = brooding.
