Narrator:
Martok was not as amused with the joke as Buster was.

It's one bottle of vodka (hiccup), Harry. How much could it cost? 10 replicator rations?
- I am so looking forward to having Janeway stand in for Lucille when she insults Lindsay (to be played by Seven, naturally).

Unless Seven is running a still in her alcove... or something.... that vodka is synthhol anyways.
oh. wait. Borgs can't hold their fake booze
- She doesn't produce the enzyme to break down synthehol like normal humans as a result of her early Borg assimilation. It's a great plot point in the episode being referenced.
  Edit: You caught on before I posted.
  
  yeah. I remembered that detail a second after hitting post
  Though I'd have to say it's a pretty silly plot point. The idea that borg nanites can somehow install extremely complicated implants and control people but can't deal with a little fake-booze is amusing

My mom told me wine went bad and I legitimately thought once you opened it you had to finish the bottle
- Well yeah, even 24 hours later it picks up and oxidized flavor (port-like) and becomes a shadow of its former glory. So no, it’s not gonna get you sick, but you should definitely finish it the night you open it for maximum enjoyment.
- Wine does go bad. Vodka does not.
- I mean, it does have a shelf life once opened.
  
  that's when you use it for cooking!
  granted, I probably opened the bottle for cooking to begin with. I'm not very good at the whole alcoholic thing.
  
  Eight months before my grandfather passed, I bought a bottle of chateau Picard. I thought since he liked TNG and wine, he’d share it with me. Wasn’t to his liking. He told me to finish it fast. By the end of the week it tasted awful.
  EDIT: There was sediment at the bottom of the bottle which formed.
- The flavor is noticeably worse after just a few hours
  
  Good wine improves flavor in the first hour. And maintains for longer too.

I've always been so very disappointed the writers didn't do more to explore drunk seven shenanigans during the series
- It was already the 7th season, though she does become a full blown alcoholic by Picard.

It's ok... they never gave enough time to go bad around these parts
