Hmm...

Of course, one of the problems with writing 'two men in a pub' fic is remembering two-thirds of the way through that Jack doesn't drink…

...Are you going to smack me if I admit that I was wondering how you got around that?

Seriously - if someone's died or there's Big Trauma in his background it could be justified, though that'd likely rip the hell out of your story. I"m sorry I didn't say something, I just really figured you'd found a hook to make it work.

We haven't seen him drink. He probably does when he's not so intent on keeping a clear head. That's my take on it, anyway.

I like that Jack doesn't (usually) drink, because I don't and he may be the only slashable boy I have that in common with... that said, I'm not calling anyone on it because 99% of fic is AU anyway.

My theory, which is mine, is that he doesn't drink because so many of the people he knows DO, and so he can take advantage of them right and left. (OK, admittedly that's rather an evil!Jack characterization, but it makes me smile.)
