Alcohol

YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK! The contents of this page have been bought with taxpayer money!

Ever since getting married to Rosechu, Sonichu finds that Reeb helps dull the pain.

Like shoving things up his ass, alcohol was something that Chris used to preach against until he tried it and discovered he loved the pleasant effect.

Background

Finally Loosened up and flew to Long Island June 12, 2009. Keep It Responsible; ONLY One in a day, or 7 or less in all in a week. (Quote from CWCipedia)

He considered alcohol a "slow-acting poison" in his Christian Weston Chandler's FUTURE MESSAGE video. Alcohol is also mentioned in Vivitheg's AIM chat, where in line 309, he mentions that he would not go to a singles bar because of it (and cigarettes). When asked about it in Mumble Chat 2, he stated that it "causes liver dysfunction and likely bar fights and automobile accidents".

Discovery

Despite this, a video of Chris drinking a Long Island Iced Tea was uploaded to YouTube on 12 June 2009 perhaps showing us Chris will be willing to throw all his principles out the window when chances of being around a female arise. Following the events of 4 June 2010, Chris is guilty of drunk-driving.

Hypocrisy

The citizens of CWCville themselves, however, are forced to consume only CWC Cola, a cola made with Chris's secret ingredient.

Chandler family and alcohol

It is interesting to note that Cole Smithey mentions that Bob and Barbara Chandler met at a bar and acted like a couple of drunken losers.

The Chandler family line has an (unsurprising) history with alcohol. Chris's maternal great-grandfather, Robert Pettis Wynn, "drank heavily and had a girlfriend during the time he was married. Family stories say he failed to provide even the most basic support for his wife and children ...there are others who say he was a moonshiner."

In the comic

Reeb is the official drink of Kick the Autistic.

In Sonichu Chris refers to beer in all instances as "Reeb".

At first glance this seems odd until you realize Chris still thinks Sonichu is targeted towards children, and so, he feels he must censor any mention of alcohol in the comic. This is a common theme in English-translated anime shows such as Dragon Ball Z and Pokémon.

Possessing or drinking alcohol was also one of the worst crimes to commit in CWCville, and could have led to a $1500 fine or 10 years in prison (the fact that Chris thinks that 10 years in prison and a $1500 fine are interchangeable is indicative of his broader attitude towards money). It is also interesting to note that this punishment is much more lenient than the CWCville penalty for homosexuality. And you thought Chris was intolerant.

In his Rollin' and Trollin' video he announced that the prohibition had been repealed. Hopefully this will curb the bootlegging mafioso who held the city in a grip of pleasant distraction from the horrors of being ruled by Christian Weston Chandler.

"Reeb" is the drink of choice for the drunkards at 4-cent_garbage.com.

Substance Abuse Issues

It is speculated that Chris's introduction to alcohol held some consequence in his life. As evidenced by the Chris's Big Night Out Videos Chris's introduction to alcohol was a mostly positive experience for him. His introduction to the drugs effects was in conjunction with (as far as our knowledge goes) with his first night enjoying an adult experience Chris was not accustomed to. Alcohol was mentioned briefly in a video shortly after, titled I'm Sorry, Dude. In this video, Chris makes an offer to treat Logan to drinks; as opposed to his past offers of "coffee or soda" to those whom he wanted to get to know. Alcohol was briefly revisited again on camera in Chris's Big Night Out II, where Chris was seen drinking. Alcohol has now been accepted by Chris as being socially acceptable; this is made obvious by the numerous references to drinks in the recent e-mails that have surfaced. In 6 June 2010, Chris revealed that he drives and attempts vehicular assault after drinking.

Alcohol may be contributing to the declining health of Christian. Since his decision to leave the internet and went about seeking real life interaction with other people, Chris has revealed to us that he has spent time sitting in a bar and playing Nintendo DS. Christian is most likely accepting alcohol into his life, because it has allowed him to appear more normal and convinced him that he is taking part in social situations and rituals. Some speculate that Christian is turning to alcohol for escapism. "I went over to a bar, and I had a Bud. A bottle of Bud. And I p- and then I played some solitaire on my DS, while I- while I waited to the- uh, while I waited to the hour." It is predicted that with Chris's current loneliness and depression, his alcohol use will yield repercussions in his life. His family history would suggest that it is likely for him to abuse alcohol; however his past distaste for drinking, and knowledge of his parent's drinking habits integrated with his brother Cole's judgement of such actions may prevent it. Chris has never spend a considerable amount of his tugboat on any sort of food, drink, clothing, or medicine, so it is difficult to speculate that he would spend enough cash to develop alcoholism. Doing so would most likely take him away from his video games.
