magestorm Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Was watching Relics, and realized that Scotty had Aldeberan Whiskey before, in TOS. Silly me, I can't remember the name of the episode, but it was the episode where Scotty has a drinking contest with an alien that took human form, and had reduced most of the crew to little geometric cubes. I do remember in TOS, Scotty couldn't tell what it was, just that it was green. Then, in Relics, Data happened to mimic what Scotty said almost word for word when Scotty asked what it was. Anyone have any thoughts on this, or happen to remember the name of the TOS episode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amnot Borg Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 The episode is "By Any Other Name" where Scotty introduces the aliens to booze. It's... It's...green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Ironically, the Aldeberan Whiskey in Relics was actually kid's HC (think an offshoot of Kool-Aid). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magestorm Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 Still, that was a memorable episode, for the drinking contest alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Hi-C" is a kid's drink, similar to Kool-Aide. ;) That's it, Hi-C. Some cheesey Gatorade for kids thing. I always thought it was just a ripoff of Kool Aid ;\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magestorm Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 Actually, Hi-C is made from a blend of actual fruit juices, while Kool Aid and Gatoraide is not. But, this whole thing is besides the point. Has anyone sat and figured out just how much they drank, or even what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Symok Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I don't think it was actually said anywhere canonically that the green liquid Scotty drank in TOS was Aldeberan Whiskey. Just because they're the same colour doesn't mean they're the same drink ;) Having Data say "It is green" was intentional, as an homage to that episode.
