Drinking had been a way of life for Hopper for so long before he'd started taking care of Eleven that he easily fell back into old patterns. He drank first thing in the morning, and throughout the day, and until he passed out at night. If he drank enough he wouldn't dream, and that was one of his major goals, because his dreams were either disturbing flashes of memory, or hopeful flashes of a future he could never have. If he wasn't in this place, he'd be dead, after all.
He sighed and pulled a long sip off his glass, then reached for the bottle to refill it. He glanced over his shoulder when the door behind him opened, and in doing so, missed the bartop as he set the bottle back down and it crashed to the floor at his feet. "Well, shit," he muttered. "Good thing it was almost empty. Would have been a tragic loss."
He glanced back up at Eddie. He liked the guy well enough, but not the memories associated with him. Their time in the woods was something Hopper wanted to forget. Still, he nodded and gestured to the stool beside himself. "You're welcome to join me, but we need a new bottle, obviously."
