ATTF: Drinking Shenanigans  
Hello, Bar!

Guess what? It's time to do talk about what one might expect to talk about in a bar: Alcohol!

In honor of St. Patrick's Day, this (belated West Coast, sorry :p ) ATTF is all about Clint, Natasha, and drinks this week.

What are your head canons, Bar? Does Natasha love vodka as much as some fanon would have us believe? Does Clint have a secret guilty pleasure for espresso martinis? Who becomes a sap when they're three drinks in, and have there ever been any booze-fueled confessions in their relationship? (Or, if you want to go the angst route, does anyone have a problem with alcohol?) Tell me all of your thoughts, Bar! Pull up a seat and bring your drink of choice.

Things to remember:
1) Always label NSFW (Not Safe For Work) stuff in the title and post under a cut.
2) Fic and artwork needs to have a rating and warnings (or you can say that you’ve chosen not to use warnings).
3) For people with annoying internet connections, say in the title if a comment is graphic/images/gif-heavy and post picspams under a cut.
4) Have a damn good time! (Because if that’s not happening then this post has clearly failed.)

Oooh! I wanna know what an Espresso Martini is like. That sounds super yum!

My head canons tend to change with the wind and what I want to write but here are the things I generally think:

Clint is not a fan of wine (though he'll drink it on occasion) or hard liquor (though he'll drink it at 'events' because it's the manly thing to do) but is mostly a beer guy. He rarely, if ever, over indulges. He tends to nurse his booze.

Nat has a high tolerance but CAN get drunk, though she only ever lets her guard down enough to do that when around Clint because she knows he has her back. She's not picky and drinks whatever is appropriate to the occasion - beer, wine, hard stuff, fruity drinks. She likes to drink the fruity stuff around Clint because she knows it amuses him. And there have been drunken confessions but she's never ever hidden behind "I don't remember" the morning after.

And now I really want to write that and darn it I have other things in the queue! GAH!

But this all sounds amazing and totally should be written!


...just saying! :D

I also have very changeable headcanons, so I've alternatively written Clint as someone who enjoys a good beer, and as someone who avoids alcohol for family history reasons (a la comics). If I am thinking of him drinking, then he likes to pretend to enjoy very 'manly' drinks- beer and whiskey only, thanks- but he secretly enjoys a good fruity cocktail. I mean, who wouldn't? Cocktails are delish. And he will have a little umbrella, thank you. Or maybe even two.

Natasha likes her wine, especially with a good meal. She does like vodka, but not nearly as much as the other agents think she does. Natasha plays up the stereotype because she thinks it's funny. Clint knows this, but he'd never tell. ;)

Completely agree with you about Natasha, vodka and the stereotype. Shared headcanon!

Natasha enjoys a nice spritzy sauvignon blanc, or a fat cab sauv with a meal. But when hanging with the boys, she is perfectly happy to drink beer straight from the bottle. Vodka she learned to drink in the Red Room because it was a tool of the trade, but she's not that fond of it (except when someone mentions her Russianness, in which case she is happy to oblige and turn up the cliche).

Clint is a beer drinker (he doesn't do the hard stuff because he saw what it did to his father, which is why always, always stops before he gets too drunk). Having travelled the world and spent a good amount of time in the UK, he prefers a nice meaty ale to that insipid pale stuff they drink in the US, but he'll take what he can get and knows how to order the least objectionable brew in about 76 countries. He will drink wine if Natasha makes him:

“You been here long?” Clint asks the Captain, picking a glass of red wine but unlike Steve, refraining from thanking the machine.

“Long enough to be wanting a drink,” Steve smiles back. “I hate drinking alone though.”

He takes a look at what Clint is holding in his hand and raises an eyebrow.

“I thought you were a beer man.”

Clint shrugs. “I am. But Black Widow made me wear Armani.”

Steve looks as puzzled as Clint had pretended to be when Natasha made that last push, and so he elaborates, “It’s a fashion thing. Doesn’t go well with beer. Probably should have had a cocktail, but there are limits.”
