** Despite Blackadder calling Melchett out for this at the start of the episode, out of all the episode's characters he actually seems the ''most'' able to tolerate alcohol (not counting the three guests Blackadder invites for the booze-up, who had clearly been drinking before they even arrived). While Melchett gets drunk fairly quickly, he remains coherent and observant enough to notice that Blackadder isn't honouring their bet, and forces him to do so.

When Edmund drunkenly insults her, she raises her hand in fury -- then realizes he's across the room, and settles for slapping the much closer Percy instead.
