Throughout the show, several characters have consumed alcohol and become drunk. This is a short summary of their experiences and an indepth analysis.

Episode / Consequeces

  • Truth Or Dare - in Hungover, Daniel talks about how he first humiliated himself and then Jonas further humiliated him in a game of Truth or Dare.
  • Investigating Pins and Pints - Nikki Bower shows us a shot of vodka and drinks it on camera to no consequence.
  • Uncle Dan - Daniel drinks and works up the courage to make a move on Jonas's aunt and this angers Jonas, as well as a couple other party guests.
  • Vegas, Baby! - Daniel and Jonas get drunk in Las Vegas, Nevada while Bree has what she calls "PG" fun. They meet back up, only to be chased by what they think is a Watcher.
  • Spring Break Sucks - Bree spends some time around Mexico while Jonas and Daniel get drunk. She finds them in an alley and puts both of them in the cab of Jonas's truck.
  • Running For Life - Daniel is drunk and sleeping all day. Jonas tries to get him to come on a run with him, hoping it will help lift his spirits, but doesn't succeed.
  • Intervention - Jonas confronts Daniel about his alcoholism to which Daniel becomes agitated and reveals his reasons for drinking stem from hopelessness in running from the Order, and his relationship issues.

Other Episodes

  • Drinking Problems - Daniel declares he is done drinking. Cosmic law dictates that everybody does this when they are this hungover.
  • Daniel's Missing! - It is logical to assume that the Order got Daniel drunk before they abducted him but there is not enough evidence to prove this.
  • Sloppy Drunk - Bree reflects on Daniel's drinking.
  • Quitting The Sauce - Daniel declares again that he's done drinking.

Analysis

  • Daniel has two stages. Either he's a booze hound or he completely abstains. This further illustrates his unhealthy relationship with alcohol, how his drinking habits move rapidly across the spectrum with no ability to consume in moderation.
  • With the possible exception of random girl and Alex, none of the characters have been able to hold their alcohol. The sobriety spectrum goes from stone sober to stone cold sober to sloshed drunk and there is no middle ground. Some might argue that this paints an unrealistic picture of alcohol.
  • Nikki Bower takes a shot of vodka while Investigating Pins and Pints for clues pointing towards Daniel's disappearance.
  • Nikki Bower teases Daniel about his drinking while in Texas by asking Jonas to join her in a drink and disinviting Daniel. Tough love!
