[ Not drunk once? Jack tries to imagine it. While the same could be said about him to some degree, he'd enjoyed his alcohol a normal amount as a young adult before SEP and all of its effects upped his tolerance.

In this world, he can't hold his liquor quite as well as he could back home, so he's learned to take care with how much he indulges. Though there have been a few times that the prospect of getting drunk out of his mind has been pretty tempting. He's mainly avoided it because he knows Gabe would give him no end of shit about it. ]

Was that just the norm for Cardinals, then? As someone who wasn't part of that echelon, we kinda just had to guess at what your lives were really like.

[ Does it matter now? Probably not. But Jack knows there a lot of Displaced who are sitting with those memories, so it seems worth it to know. ]
