If there's no alcohol in Equestria, than why hasn't Twilight killed herself/friends by now? |
| Anonymous #617482 8 months ago |
Wasn't Twilight drinking alcohol in the first episode?
Also Spike did the "Lampshade" gag, though he's too young to drink alcohol so I doubt he was drunk. |

Let's not forget pony joe's 'Bartender' voice. |

Um... this doesn't take place in the show, hell the picture itself looks like her creating the world of Equestria through her words |
| Wheezie_Moonflower #617502 8 months ago |
Yeah the show and the world it represents are two VERY different things. |

If I recall, she said that there's none in Equestria at all.
.. Salt licks exist though. Maybe that apple-wine is full of salt? |
| NightJack #617534 8 months ago |
Ya there was that one pony that was kicked out of the salt lick place moving around like a drunk. |

Lauren just said that to be PC, you KNOW those ponies (especially Pinkie Pie) have gotta be hammered 24/7. |

Lauren likes to sugar-coat crap. She doesn't seem like the sort of creator to talk about all the 'adult' stuff in series. |

There's also the fact that one of the main cast is...you know... named after an alcoholic drink. |

Strange... all I see is a bottle of non-alcoholic apple cider.
anypony agree? |
| NotAPseudonym #617669 8 months ago |
@651 I'm not even sure that's an apple. Might be a tomato? Looks a little like a human kidney if I squint :o |

Agreed. |

I think what she specifically said is no one approves of "boozing it up", not that it never happens.
But that's taking Word of God way too seriously. |

Trivial note: The beverage "Applejack" was originally a hard cider with it's alcohol content increased (jacked up) through freezing, but as far as I have been able to find, that particular beverage does not exist in America today. All you can find is a distilled apple brandy which has been "fortified" with grain alcohol, and which has almost no apple flavor.
Dangit Applejack, I'd be right irritated 'bout that. |

1 - It could be apple cider / non-alcoholic apple champagne / apple sparkling drink (I don't know what the last one is really called in English)
2 - Faust is shown as a creator pony, thus like say Arceus or whatever, she exists beyond Equestria 3 - As a voice of input on a CHILDREN'S SHOW, she cannot show condone drinking alcoholic beverages or she will receive hell from angry parents and so on In short, yeah there is drinking, but it's *hush hush* *wink wink* |
