Don't believe in no-win scenarios

There is a pause while Spock processes what Jim is asking. Not much longer than usual, perhaps a couple of seconds, but briefly noticeable. "I am not in any danger," he states, blanket confirmation first off.

However, he has tilted just slightly into the touch of Jim's hand despite the fact it was trying to check his temperature. Very 'cat chasing a hand to bonk it for more pets' style.

"You are aware alcohol has no effect on Vulcans," he finally says, "as our metabolism processes it too quickly to have an effect." A beat, and he adds: "However, processed sugars do have an intoxicating effect. As I have had it extremely rarely, I failed to account for that while calculating my tolerance."

Wuh oh! Somebody happens to be a lightweight.
