I just thought of something!


What does Mac drink in Predator!? It was most likely alcohol, based on the container (a hip flask I think!). But it was never specified. And doesn't drinking dehydrate you even further!? Especially in the jungles of South America!

reply

Probably some alcohol.
Not to worry, they wouldnt get dehydrated, they could drink a lot from those tree branches

reply

Oh! You're right. Like what Billy did early on.

reply

Most likely some form of liquor. Alcohol is a diuretic and can promote water loss through urine, but not in the quantities that he was drinking. He just had a little nip, I'm sure to just take the edge off.

"He just had a little nip, I'm sure to just take the edge off"

Like his compulsive habit of shaving!

reply

i'd say bourbon, or some kind of whiskey, but not scotch

reply

Was thinking whiskey too. But what's the difference? Why couldn't he drink scotch?

reply

i figure he'd drink something to make him feel like home.
and imagine his roots are from like the south, probably kentucky

he was WAY too cool to be a yank

'I figure he'd drink something to make him feel like home"

Ahhh! I saw what you did there 😁

"and imagine his roots are from like the south, probably kentucky"

I never thought about it. But... maybe! But why Kentucky!?

"he was WAY too cool to be a yank"

That's kinda culturally insensitive, I think!? But, yeah!

One thing I never understood. Why was he wearing a suit at the beginning of the movie!? It's like "Mac, are you going to kick some ass in the jungles of South America or are you going to a business meeting? 😁

reply

Don't worry. He eats Green Berets for breakfast. They have a lot of water in then.

Oops ... wrong movie.
