My love for the show Lost will never die. I think about this show all the time, and naturally I need to vent my thoughts somehow. So my sister, who introduced me to the show, and I collaborated and assigned some characters from Lost their alcoholic beverage equivalents.
Sawyer: A shot of vodka
You know he isn’t good for you but you can’t help but want him. (Alternate choice: Sex on the Beach)
Desmond: A Zinfandel
He’s complex and multi-layered. When you really think about it, he’s reliable and the best choice no matter what’s going on in your life.
Hurley: A Margarita
Sometimes he’s super sweet, sometimes pretty salty, and sometimes you really regret choosing him.
Sayid: Scotch
He’s mature, pretty classy, and I don’t fully understand him.
Kate Austen: Beer
Any beer. She’s pretty rugged and she’s just one of the boys. Underwhelming.
Jack: White Wine
Women generally regard him as desirable, but he gives me a headache.
Nikki and Paulo: Fluffed Marshmallow Vodka
These two are fluffed marshmallow vodka because you never liked them and you forgot they existed.
Ben- Franzia
You shouldn’t like him but you’ve grown to love him. Or as my sister suggested: “Ben is poisoned something”
Locke: A Bloody Mary
After a night of drinking, a Bloody Mary can save your life, just like Locke does for literally everyone on the island all the time.
Ana Lucia: Tequila
She’s rough around the edges, bad in all situations, and she might accidentally kill you.
Charlie: Fireball
He’s bad and good at the same time. Sometimes he causes you pain, but you can’t stay mad at him.
Claire: A Cosmopolitan
Maybe she was fun at one point, but now you just roll your eyes when her name is mentioned.
Richard: A Screwdriver
He’s a classic: dependable, versatile, and everyone loves him.
Michael: Nothing
He doesn’t deserve to be a drink.
Jacob: Brandy
He’s brandy because I’m honestly not sure if he exists.
Vincent: Jell-o shots
Nice, approachable, sweet, and only comes around on special occasions.
Mr Eko: Sangria made out of church wine
The reasons are obvious.
And that’s that. I’ll see you in another life, brotha.
