** Clara is the PatientOfTheWeek. She's been poisoned, and the ImprobableAntidote is... alcohol. Which she'll most likely refuse to touch. [[note]]Yes, that's TruthInTelevision -- ethanol can be used as an antidote to methanol and ethylene glycol. However, it's worth noticing that most dry crusaders ''would'' accept alcohol in such a situation. Nowadays [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fomepizole fomepizole]] is preferred over ethanol anyway.[[/note]] Now the doctor faces a dilemma: Should he tell her the truth and hope she'll accept the treatment? Give her alcohol against her will, lying about it if necessary? Or should he respect her wishes even if it increases the chance of her dying needlessly?

(And TropaholicsAnonymous doesn't distinguish between a single glass of wine with dinner on a special occasion and finishing an entire bottle of tequila by oneself; both are seen as regression.) She worries that other people are trying to sabotage her, or could ruin her progress because they (as drinkers) "just don't understand."

** Clara has a dry wedding.
Added DiffLines:
** When her fiance suggests they at least have beer and wine, she goes into a full {{Bridezilla}} freakout, saying she doesn't want ''any'' alcohol at the wedding. (The "champagne" toast will be performed with sparkling cider.) She also insists that he and his buddies don't have any booze or strippers at [[StagParty the bachelor party]], and she tells her maid of honor the same thing concerning her bachelorette party.

** She starts mom-shaming other women who drink, such as those who drank before they found out they were pregnant, or had an ''occasional'' glass of wine during the pregnancy or while breastfeeding, or women who drink but aren't on any sort of birth control (and therefore could be pregnant at any time without realizing it), or even mothers who drink (and therefore subvert the image of mother as ProperLady) in general.

** Clara isn't against drinking , ''period,'' but against being an alcoholic. Cracking open a cold one with the boys (or girls) isn't something she's against, living in a bar is. Doubly so if someone is using it as "medicine" for a problem better solved by talking to a psychologist or pastor.

* '''Played For Drama''': Claire is the MonsterOfTheWeek of PoliceProcedural ''"AliceAndBob: TheSeries"'', and she murdered her own (possibly-would-have-been-former-really-fast) boyfriend because he liked to drink (only a cup, once a year on the anniversary of his parents' death, and was a man who lived perfectly clean otherwise. As a matter of fact, up until Claire gives her MotiveRant, Alice and Bob expected something more serious like the man being secretly abusive). Alice and Bob [[DisappointedByTheMotive are pretty disturbed]] about the fact Claire believes touching a drop of alcohol is an act that deserved such DisproportionateRetribution.
