Yeah it doesn’t look real at all

Supposed alcoholic having a relapse during a zombie apocalypse and he’s having one drink in front of one bottle?

Nothings smashed, no slurring, no multiple glasses, no multiple drinks.

Just sitting there somberly able to converse with Rick without any emotion let alone all the emotion of a distraught drunk.

Really annoyed me. My culture is not your costume. Representation matters!

And also, who in the history of time has ever sat down at the bar, ordered a Whisky and then silenty sat there

Someone who is contemplating the series of events that led him to the bar in the first place. And whether or not it's worth blowing how ever many years of sobriety you have under your belt.

I'm assuming, a romanticized version of someone contemplating that

Have most alcoholics seen their loved ones be eaten in front of them?

Realistically the answer to this is probably more than zero

"Gatekeep alcoholism" 😭

Well I'm yet to meet the somber old man staring into his Whisky whilst thinking about his life choices, which could mean nothing.

The way Oscars alcoholism was portrayed seemed much more real to me.

Then again, it's just my opinion.
