The thought of drinking that much alcohol makes my stomach ache.
Yeah, Andromeda is heading for you. You got over 9000 years until it collides.

I'm not entirely sure why, but this image made me laugh. Myabe it's because there's some truth to it or something.

@Dalek: But first we have to establish that she is a drunkard. One scene in season 1 does not a story make. What we do with it is another issue. tongue

Good old Berry!

Actually, I wonder if EP's can generally hold their drink better than the others?

I suspect that there is a spell to cure hangovers known by Unicorns.

@ed: don't forget her horrified reaction to the Flim-flam spiel [lol]

@Apple: that seems reasonable enough as a racial bonus.

Gotta love fanon that's so pervasive that you'd get called out for not including it in a fan work. tongue

I, personally, prefer "overprotective mother" Berry Punch to "drunkard" Berry Punch. Too bad no one else remembers that old bit of competing fanon unless it is also juxtaposed with her being drunk, making her a (admittedly hilarious) hypocrite in the process.

I picture Berry Punch as being a hilariously terrible mother.

Sort of like the anti-Derpy.

Apart from the flower trio, Berry has the most memorable horrified expression[lol]

I don't think it would be specifically a racial bonus so much as earth ponies tending to be more bulkier than the other races.

More bulk generally corresponds to being able to handle more booze, right?

@ Kyler

Right.

Though I think E Ps can handle foodstuffs better than the others...they take more booze to get drunk...can handle spicy foods better...pure fanon on my part though.

Isn't it also a popular piece of fanon that Berry Punch is a grape farmer?

On an unrelated note, someone needs to ponyfiy this.

@Lurker: It's weird. You can argue about shipping til the cows come home at 8pm after a long day, but other fanon you just accept like it ain't a thing. Berry Punch is the town drunk? Yeah sure, everyone knows that.

Well, there was the one fic where Dr. Whooves wasn't Dr. Whooves, but that's an exception.

I still don't get what's up with the Doctor Whooves/Derpy pairing. Where did it come from? It just kinda seems like one big Crack pairing to me. No offense to anyone who likes it though.

I think it started because The Doctor needed a Companion, and Derpy became the popular choice due to potential comedic shenanigans.

Yeah, it's seems like there's some bits of fanon everyone just accepts. Derpy is a single mother, Whooves is a Time Lord, Lyra and Bonbon are gay/maybe just very good friends etc.

@Marsy It's mostly because Derpy is depicted as the Doctor's companion and people have always shipped our favourite Time Lord with his companions.
