Reformed alcoholics

  • Aeron Greyjoy, who drank a lot in his youth,[39] but changed following a near-death experience.[39][40]
  • Thoros of Myr, who always had a taste for drinking and was a drinking companion to King Robert I Baratheon,[41] before experiencing a spiritual awakening.[42]

Quotes

A wedding feast was not a battle, but there were always dangers when men were in their cups, and a king should never be unguarded.[32]

Catelyn Stark's thoughts

The queen was in her cups, Jaime realized. Of late, Cersei always seemed to have a flagon of wine to hand, she who had once scorned Robert Baratheon for his drinking.[37]

Jaime Lannister's thoughts

Casks of wine and ale surrounded them, more than enough drink to see a thirsty dwarf safely through the night. Or through a life.[43]
