They do seem to prefer drinking alone, rather than in company....could be a sign of some kind of anti social behavior....

Avicularia metallica

Theraphosa blondi

I don't know if they drink but I would like to suggest this:

My rosea drinks alcohol. Don't know how he gets it...but he does.

My a. avicularia takes valium.

My C. Fasciatum takes meth.

My B. Smithi is abstinent.
