Karkat had never drunken anything alcoholic before, mainly because he was underage, but even after all the movies he'd watched he knew a little bit about handling it. So when Tavros lets it sit in his mouth and makes that reaction, he shakes his head a little at the Hufflepuff, moving to sit down on the musty old bed.

Just fucking drink it like he says, man.
