Shanks Is An Alcoholic (And So Was Roger)

Gol D Roger had more of an influence on Shanks than most people realized. Perhaps there are theories on how Shanks idealized roger, but has anyone ever mentioned how Roger and Shanks are both alcoholics? (I can explain my reasoning)



(Non Cannon)

Gold Roger drank Raoul's bar dry. This indicated he has some alcohol tolerance. Maybe Haki can play into alcohol tolerance, but I believe roger just drank so much he was able to survive drinking an entire bar dry.

(Cannon)

Gol D Roger drank with Whitebeard, although this is japanese traditions I still think considering the volume of rogers alcohol consumption he's obviously well adapted to.


Shanks apparently has no problem with drinking while hangover




What we can gather from this is Shanks is a party animal. Plus our very first scene of him was in a Bar with his crew drinking. Luffy also has taken party traits on from Shanks, as it's consistent throughout the manga/anime Luffy loves to party with his crew and others. This leads one to believe Roger liked to party, which rubbed off on Shanks (and buggy) then rubbing off on Luffy.



Shanks also chugged a huge bowl of sake with Whitebeard.







Shanks must be an alcoholic considering how much he parties & can handle his booze. Roger probably even more so, considering the guy could (non cannon) drink a bar dry.
