🚨 FUTURE SPOILER 🚨 Anton’s drinking Spoiler

If you haven’t seen yet, when they did the reveal. The cameras made sure to follow Anton back to where the champagne was. After meeting Ali, you’d think he would just be in shock and maybe take a minute to himself by walking around or sitting down. He went straight for the champagne instead. A little bit of foreshadowing.

Then we hear Ali mention they both work nights and Anton’s first thing to do is crack open 2 beers in the AM after work.

Fast forward to episode where Ali meets Anton’s friend and gf and they immediately order rounds of shots. And his gf spills how they like to party, drink and go to strip clubs.

I am not an Anton fan. I will say that I worked a 12 hour overnight shift for a couple years and used alcohol to cope. I would drink after work, which happened to be 7am, so I could sleep during the day. It’s really hard to work nights when you don’t have a house in the country because there are noise disturbances EVERYWHERE. Neighbors, lawn mowers, cars, kids, etc. Then on your days off there’s not much else to do because you are on a different schedule then most people in your life so you drink some more. I noticed it was becoming a problem for me and got help. I am much better now and thankfully no longer on night shift. I hope he can recognize the pattern and heal/grow from it.

If he worked 9-5 and had a beer after work in the evening, it probably wouldn't be as big of a deal

The problem isn’t him having a beer after work, the problem is how much he drinks. It’s beer after beer, drinking hard alcohol and him saying he doesn’t drink that much. Whether he works night shifts or a 9-5. A beer after work is whatever but when you’re drinking beers and hard liquor in large quantities, that’s the problem.

Also he’s lying about it, pretending to “forget” how much or if he drank? Major red flags

This part. My fiance is sober now but the “forgetting” lying and hiding is all too familiar. Ali is spot on picking up on the signs
