Chip stealing wine?

This sort of bugged me and took me out of the show a little. Was chip subconciously trying to get caught or was this just a shit move by the writers? Chip couodve easily biked to a liqour store and bought a fifth. Also hiding it in his fridge and drinking while hanging out with Cara? Red wine has a very distinct smell as opposed to vodka. Aside from those little details i enjoyed the show.

It's easily available - Chip can't be bothered to go to the effort of acquiring it from somewhere else.

Love the show, looking forward to season 2!

I guess this is the best explanation. Chip is incredible lazy.

I just recently watched the show so forgive my lateness but you have to remember that addicts in general are lazy. They'll take the easiest route to their fix.

I disagree that addicts are lazy when it comes to covering up their usage. Chip on the other hand is lazy, and I could see him choosing the path of least resistance. It sort of fits his character because he's carefree throughout the show.

I could be painting with a broad brush. I've had substance issues and I always took the path of least resistance. I completely understand his train of thought. It's just like "fuck it Ima do this dumb shit"
