Narcissa and alcohol is a dangerous combination. Due to her overprotective parents and the fact that Cygnus was at times an angry drunk, Narcissa didn’t see the appeal in alcohol until adulthood, and she had completely failed to build up a tolerance for it. She enjoys Firewhiskey on occasion but can only drink it in small amounts or when she and Lucius are safely at home, because her typical ability to reserve affection for private settings erodes when she isn’t thinking clearly. They do enjoy wine socially and more frequently when alone together. Lucius is much more of an expert at handling his liquor.
