Moments where you can tell they are alcoholics?


There were many of them but which ones stand out that shows they were without question alcoholics?

When Hawk asks for a beer and a bowl and eats his Wheaties after pouring the beer over them in the bowl.
Not only does that seem really awful tasting but it was also in the early AM.

Let me know if I'm on your ignore list.
Thanx!

Snap, crackle and burp!

Every instance of them DRINKING is pretty much a dead give away.

In "Alcoholics Unanimous" where Hawkeye and Trapper are raiding the medicine cabinet trying to find something that will make them drunk. And also later in the episode where they have gone a while without drinking and they're taking their withdrawals out on each other and everyone else.

Is that also the one where they went to services so they could drink the sacramental wine?

reply

I also think the one where Radar is wounded and Hawk had to leave the OR because either he was already drunk or suffering a hang over.

And Radar was right on his points of how Hawk shouldn't have left in that one.

Let me know if I'm on your ignore list.

I love it when Radar, acting tough, tells Hawk to "Go crawl back into your bottle and pickle yourself."

BURN!

reply

Yeah. Go get him Radar!

Let me know if I'm on your ignore list.
Thanx!

He was about two seconds away from socking Hawkeye in the puss.
