No More Cactus Juice For Us
"Come on, Zuko! I have one of my finest bottles of cactus juice right here! Don't tempt me to drink this all by myself!"
While the rest of the Gaang left for a small mission of their own, Sokka chose to stay behind with Zuko and buy a bottle of cactus juice. Even though he is under the age of legal drinking, only a select few of people knew the effects of cactus juice, and the juice itself was not technically alcohol, so Sokka allowed himself to drink. He bought the bottle of the special cactus juice from a man who owned a very small tavern that only sold different kinds of cactus juice.
Outside the tavern, he presented the bottle. "You have got to try this, Zuko! This drink's the best! Might have a little bit of a kick, but come on, Fire Lord! Live a little!"
It was already a risk for the fire lord to leave the palace unattended, but he could fend for himself, and he was certainly not alone. At seventeen years old, Sokka had a couple of ideas of how to loosen the bolts on the young fire lord. Making the fire lord drink, was one of them.
