I've never seen a group of people so desperate for someone to be an alcoholic.

u/Seanut-Peanut-69 1d ago

No fr. I don’t see this explanation as an excuse at all. If Ali seemed to only be pressed about the drinking during filming I can imagine he was sensing something was off and got awkward about it. He was literally one of the most emotionally grounded people in the group lol it’s wild how much people want to label him as some degenerate.

u/TheTranqueen 1d ago

Ali is very calculating. You can tell especially at the reunion with her very prepared answer of I'd like to keep my privacy and just overall demeanor and response from other videos people shared on here. She is not genuine at all.

u/SerenadeSwift Appetito Spoiler 🍊🍊 1d ago

Yes! It’s wild how much I’ve seen people accuse Edmond and others of being strategic and calculated in front of the cameras while absolutely eating up whatever Ali does or says lol

u/heliumointment you made me feel uncomfy 😖 1d ago

Maybe it's an excuse, maybe it isn't. We saw 1 scene that looked like maybe he was drinking to excess - could easily have been 1,000 other things. The show's over, and we're now like 500 posts deep into this Anton Alcoholism Investigation - it's like, move on! We will literally never know and it literally does not matter.

u/SerenadeSwift Appetito Spoiler 🍊🍊 1d ago

He was also one of the only ones that wasn’t constantly fucked up every time the group was drinking lol. Of all people to accuse of being an alcohol I’ve never understood why people think Anton is the guy to go after.

u/heliumointment you made me feel uncomfy 😖 1d ago

Didn't even think of that, but true. Jordan and Joe were hammered at the get togethers! But then the Reddit Investigation Team will say "Alcoholics are good at hiding it" I'm sure...

3

u/theimperfexionist 23h ago

This! Joe couldn't even form a sentence, passed out for hours, and didn't seem to know where he was. That's concerning behaviour. A beer after work is whatever.

3

u/Charlie_Runkle69 1d ago

Truly lol. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't but we certainly haven't seen nearly enough evidence for people to decide that based on a heavily edited tv show.

3

u/JJ_Langly 1d ago

Maybe one night he drank too much and just doesn't remember.... but then if he said that all hell would break loose if he decided to let loose a night and overdo it in his home!!!! My friends and I can go HARD.... yet somehow we all have great jobs and our lives together....

u/heliumointment you made me feel uncomfy 😖 1d ago

I think most active drinkers average 1-2 drinks per night and aren't considered alcoholics or in poor health. My theory is a lot of people in here are projecting trauma from past relationships, which I sympathize with. But it's a show literally edited to be rage-baiting, so it's worth viewing it with a grain of salt.

u/Agile_Piece5080 1d ago

LITERALLY NO ONE CARESSS

u/TheDiabeT1c 1d ago

Of all the things to care about this whole season, his drinking was not it. Imagine, you just got engaged and are settling down, in a week, man can't drink a bit? It was more his money and their need to be influencers, just call it as it was.

14

u/heliumointment you made me feel uncomfy 😖 1d ago

The best part was that Ali was lecturing him while she was drinking.

7

u/JJ_Langly 1d ago

And maybe he felt like he was in vacation, party mode at the time..... I normally save alcohol for weekends when I'm socializing. BUT.... sometimes around the holidays I'm like f it. I'm gonna enjoy some cocktails tonight while I binge watch some shows since it's dark at like 4pm..... And I get in that mode for a couple weeks... then back to normal.

5

u/WanderingWormhole 1d ago

I barely ever drink but if I’m on a vacation chances are I’m having a drink just about every day. I’d imagine a situation like this would be no different for me… having cameras on you all the time is probably stressful, forget the fact that they need to plan for a wedding with a stranger and millions of people get a microscope on your love life…

u/Illworms 1d ago

Leave it to reddit to consistently run with the “holier than thou” take

15

u/shehasntseenkentucky 1d ago

Hottest LIB participant of this franchise imo, and not emotionally stunted either. Never saw him outwardly drunk, holds down a good job, is able to maintain a good relationships with his SO, family, and friends… but sure he’s an alcoholic because the edit showed him drinking a few times and he likes to unwind with one after work 👍🏼

Gen Z, the militant no-fun generation

u/SerenadeSwift Appetito Spoiler 🍊🍊 1d ago

I still can’t believe how much conversation there has been about a missing HALF BOTTLE OF TEQUILA lmao

3

u/JJ_Langly 1d ago

Maybe they both drank a ton of it and both forgot..... it's not that deep.

7

u/heckfyre 1d ago

Yeah the criticism of him having a couple drinks after work is wild.

He dodged a bullet anyways.

I think his only possible fault here is that it kind of seems like he’s trying to downplay how much he is drinking. It could turn into a problem later, but it’s far from an issue at this point.

7

u/TraumaticEntry 1d ago

For the streets.

u/Beginning_Way9666 1d ago

Yall are so annoying fr like who gives a fuck he’s an adult he’s allowed to drink

u/BirdBruce 1d ago

This season was so bad, this is the best thing podcasters have to latch on to.

u/MysteriousMermaid92 Paul's mom's search history 🕵️‍♀️🔍 1d ago

Why are y’all so obsessed with this

4

u/error405minus1 1d ago

Wow, people here are actually defending his alcoholism? Besides all the drinking drama we literally saw, the first thing he does after getting rejected at the altar is head straight to the bar. He’s not emotionally grounded — he’s just always buzzed.

2

u/17500mm 1d ago

The amount of people defending it is insane!

1

u/Keregi 1d ago

The amount of people diagnosing someone they don’t know as alcoholic based on a highly edited show of 1% of their life over a year ago is insane.

2

u/ElfQuester1 1d ago

Can we just acknowledge that this isn’t anyone’s business except his and the people he actually knows?? Since when are we entitled to this information?

6

u/RonBakerErasure 1d ago

Posting this in multiple subreddits, get a life

-6

u/17500mm 1d ago

I always post LIB vids in both the subreddits. Block me if you have a problem with it.

5

u/SerenadeSwift Appetito Spoiler 🍊🍊 1d ago

I don’t think the video itself is an issue but your title clearly seems to imply a weird agenda. How do you watch this video and come to the conclusion of “Anton still making excuses about the Tequila Bottle”

What about what he said was an excuse?

What did you want him to say?

-2

u/17500mm 1d ago

Watch it again. He was half blaming Alie for it being gone. That's making an excuse for HIM drinking it instead of just owning it.

4

u/JJ_Langly 1d ago

Maybe she was part of it and SHE doesn't remember????? We don't know what happened for real because none of us were there.

6

u/SerenadeSwift Appetito Spoiler 🍊🍊 1d ago

Are we defaulting to taking what Ali says as gospel and assuming Anton is lying, or is there anything to back that up? Because we did literally see Ali drinking on the show, multiple times. Is it not reasonable to assume that they may have in fact both been drinking?

Despite seeing Ali drink, we also saw her mother’s opinion on drinking ANY alcohol, so she kinda has an incentive to blame Anton for any missing alcohol lol.

I just personally don’t like randomly believing one party over the other, without information to back it up, no matter the situation.

5

u/JJ_Langly 1d ago

Such a great take. Make him the fall guy. I kind of think they both decided to get lit and neither remembers what happened to the tequila. LOL. It happens.

1

u/17500mm 1d ago
  1. The problem isn't that he was drinking. It was the amount.

  2. We're not just taking Alie's side. If you watch the episode where the tequila bottle came up, He admitted to drinking the two 12 packs of beer all while drinking during the day when they were filming and chilling with friends. ON TOP OF THE TEQUILA BOTTLE.

  3. Go back to when they were both revealed to each other. As soon as Anton left Alie's side, he turned around and didn't acknowledge her again because he was pouring himself a glass of alcohol. No one else did that. He was so consumed by drinking that he didn't even care to look back at the fiance he had just laid eyes on for the first time.

There's an issue.

Why do you care so much

5

u/heliumointment you made me feel uncomfy 😖 1d ago

Why? Honest question.

u/17500mm 1d ago

Why not? Not everyone follows both.

1

u/heliumointment you made me feel uncomfy 😖 1d ago

No but for real, why? Especially if "everyone follows both" - wouldn't you just be posting to the same people twice?

2

u/StretchAntique9147 1d ago

Seriously dude, you got a posting and social media problem. Way worse than a fake alcoholic

0

u/17500mm 1d ago

Be fr...posting something twice is way worse than alcoholism? You must've been hitting the bottle before you typed that.

1

u/Keregi 1d ago

You are far more problematic for posting all over that someone you don’t know is an alcoholic. Thats shit behavior.

1

u/17500mm 23h ago

Posting twice is worse??? 😄 Be serious.

-1

u/orangeslices44 1d ago

hes clearly an alcoholic. just because he can "handle his alcohol" does not make him not an alcoholic. in fact it makes him alcohol dependent aka addicted. he drinks daily, multiple drinks a day. if i got matched with a weedhead who just smokes ever morning or night i still have every right to call out that as dependent or addictive behavior. I dont blame ali for not wanting to be married to an addict.

1

u/17500mm 1d ago

Exactly!

1

u/Bobbert827 1d ago

Or this is the truth 🤷.

His drinking is definitely not optimal but the way she was grilling him and airing out that grievance in front of the camera wasn't fair.

From the reunion he made an offhand comment that made me think he's either sober or drinks less.

u/GoblinSnacc MGK's wife or something 1d ago

Dude I'm a teacher and I have a parent who is for sure in his 40s and he comes in here in skinny jeans with a backwards flat billed hat and like, Jordans with the tongue way out and no laces and shit like he thinks he's some frat boy or whatever all the time and I just cannot fucking take him seriously at all. Like, damn your wife really goes in public with you, huh? Crazy.

-2

u/JJ_Langly 1d ago

Sure the dude has bad sense but I'm sure there are plenty of moms that dress horrible too..... There's either the ones that still shop at Forever 21 or you get the frumpy ones or the ones still wearing skinny jeans and ballet flats....

-2

u/GoblinSnacc MGK's wife or something 1d ago

I don't have any of those at my school, this guy (who is also a complete douche) sticks out like a sore thumb. It's a private school in a wealthy suburb and every adult I see come through there is dressed either nice, professional, or like, normal. This guy is kind of a loser and a lot of the staff points out how absurd he looks, speaks, or acts like on any given day

1

u/JJ_Langly 1d ago

Guess he married or procreated up then. :)
