Why did christa drink so much whiskey ?

She drink nearly half the bottle which made me think she had a really horrable past. At one point i thought she was related to crawford.

  • I took it as she wanted to either have a miscarriage or a stillborn. Not sure what else her motivation would be.

  • That would make sense. Wouldn't she give birth to a baby if she didn't ?

  • She was already pregnant when you met them at the wreck site. Lee climbs the ladder and hears them speaking about something and it's implied in the finale a few times about her being pregnant. Then in the season 2 premiere she's VERY pregnant so at the very least her baby could've ended up stillborn. I'm not entirely sure her motivation for killing it other than a split second choice. I don't know. Because they're talking about naming it in the premiere of season 2 so it's kind of confusing.

  • I originally thought the joke was that she's a very good drinker, but I think it was just her under a LOT of stress that meant she couldn't resist the offer.

    I think she was just stressed and wasn't really thinking about how it could affect the baby in the long run, hence Kenny's reaction when she goes for more.

  • Omg...she did not drink nearly half a bottle...are we so bored that we are inventing conspiracies? Really this is getting pathetic.

  • It's probably just hyperbole, Shoula-baby. No need to get worked up.

  • Well at first i thought she was the leader of crawford or something till i read the wiki.

    I just took it as that she gave in to having a drink in a rather bleak situation. Not intentionally trying to kill the baby.

  • One drink even half a bottle wouldn't kill a fetus. She just needed a drink.

    Throughout S1, she was trying to hide the fact that she's pregnant. When Kenny first offers it to her, she looks down at her stomach. Then she realizes she nearly gave her pregnancy away, so she grabs it and drinks it to try to draw attention away from it. That doesn't work however, because Kenny manages to put two and two together, hence his shocked reaction. He wasn't surprised at Christa downing the whole bottle, he was surprised because he just figured out she was pregnant.

  • How in the hell did u think that a woman you ment miles away from Crawford was the leader and neither molly or Vernon knew

  • Regardless, it's stupid to drink any alcohol while pregnant as it could lead to any number of complications.

  • The real question is why there was whiskey stored in the starving boy's hideout. Fivel, you naughty boy, you.

  • Before we knew how to safely keep water clean everyone drank beer including children who weren't breast feeding and pregnant women. The beer had less bacteria and filth in it due to the brewing process.

  • She had a thirst for failed birth

  • She was under a lot of stress for starters and some people just turn to drinking to solve their problems, like Kenny and Nick. She's not a heavy drinker like them, but I'd take a few sips of whiskey too if I were in her shoes.
