I don't know what alcohol tastes like or how it feels in your mouth so bere with me here. 

Able is known as the tough and mean guy to pretty much everyone. He can go through any obstacle you put him through. His pain tolerance is outstandingly high and has incredible strength. Most would be too afraid to challenge him. But he has one weakness. It's one that everyone would be surprised to hear. And it went out like this.

During the earlier years of the foundation, when Able became an agent a few years after and has gotten aquatinted with the other SCPs, everyone liked to hang out in the cafeteria since there was no game room at the time. The cafeteria was extremely wide so it definitely had enough room to fit all who were there. Which was very little.

Many types of beverages were held at the cafeteria, and 106 decided to grad a few. He went to the very back to find a large, metal, locked cabinet. The old man smiled and grab the lock to rust it. Once it was rusted enough, he pulled it off and opened the doors. In it was just what he predicted. Alcohol. 

He grabbed a few bottles of vodka, wine, beer, and basically anything that looked good. After that, he used his portal to go to the front of the cafeteria where everyone else was. 

"Hey, guys!" He announced. "Look what I found." He waved a bottle of vodka at them. 

He placed all the bottles on a random table and went back into his portal and soon came out with some glass cups.

049 picked up a bottle of wine and gasped. "Oh my. How long has it been since I have tasted this?" 049 put his hand in his bag and took out a corkscrew. Everyone looked at him confused. That man always had everything in his bag, despite how small it was. He grabbed a wine glass and poured a good amount to his liking.

035 grabbed a wine glass as well and directed it to his acquaintance."Per favore?" he indicated to 049. 049 nodded and poured some into his glass.

Everyone began to grab their own glass and pour their drinks in. 076-2, on the other hand, was very confused. He picked up a random alcoholic bottle and examined it.  

106 saw this and snickered. "What's the matter, caveman? Never drank before?"

He rolled his eyes and opened the bottle. Before he could grab a glass, 049 took the bottle from him. 

076-2 was shocked. "Hey!"

"Tell me, Able, have you ever drinked this?" 049 asked.

"No. Does it matter?" At this point, Able was just getting annoyed.

049 sighed and put the bottle back on the table. "It does, actually. Have you actually ever drunk alcohol before, in your life." 

Just before Able could answer, he was interrupted with 106's laughter. "Aw come on, Doc. Able's tough. Let him have a drink."

"Tough?" Able's eyebrow raised. He took the bottle again and examined the label. "What exactly is this?" 

Once again, the bottle was taken from his hand but this time from 106. "It's a manly drink, that's what it is." He soon proceeded to pour some in a glass. 

049 became worried. "He has never drunk anything before. Perhaps he should start with something lighter."

303 slams his glass on the ground after gulping it down in one. "That hit the spot!" he said. "But maybe 049 is right. Able's not strong enough to have a drink like this. That's just too strong for him." he said in a mocking tone.

Able was infuriated. Not strong enough!? How dare they call him weak! What was Able thinking. It's just a drink. What harm could it do? 

He grabbed the glass from 106 and chugged it. As soon as it hit the back of his throat, he felt a burning sensation and bitterness clenching his throat. He forced down the disgusting drink and coughed.
