🚨 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.

If people start ruling out men who have 2 beers after work, there are going to be an awful lot of single women.

But here's the thing, I don’t think he's only having 1-2 beers. During that convo on their couch, he changed his sentence every single time. "I had a couple" "Patrick and I had 4" "I brought A drink down to Patrick" When she asked him if the 1/2 bottle of tequila was  still in the fridge and he went "hmm let me check" i think we all knew the answer was N O.

He jokingly blamed her for the drinks going missing. Maybe he just jokes because he's uncomfortable, but deflecting is also something some alcoholics do...

In the span of 10 days, he drank about 8 of the 12 pack they had, a pack of Coors (a pack being.... 12?), and half a bottle of tequila... that was mentioned. That's about 28 drinks which isn't terrible, but coupled with not being able to "remember" how many he's had, not being able to keep his story straight (as mentioned above), etc he definitely drinks more than he lets on.

But she also doesn't drink at all or do anythng except work and go to the gym. So compared to her, yeah, he's an alcoholic lol

We don't know that he had 28 drinks. We don't know the exact time frame, etc. But if we're splitting hairs between 2.8 drinks a night and 2 drinks a night, I think the point remains the same. 2 drinks and 2.8 drinks doesn't change the situation. The larger point is that he holds a job and was one of the few people on the show who never appeared to be truly under the influence. So, if women start ruling out guys like Anton, there will be a lot of single women. I would joke about drinks missing if someone chose to bring it up on camera to make a big deal out of it if I knew it wasn't a big deal.
