So if Bobby is Buck’s adoptive Dad-

And Buck is Christopher’s adoptive Dad/second Dad/Stepdad (whatever you want to call it when Buck and Eddie get married and they are raising Christopher together)-

Bobby is Christopher’s Grandpa, thank you VERY MUCH-

(See proof below)

[911fan6]

remember when eddie wouldn't talk about sleeping with shannon to anyone including shannon herself until he sat on a fountain next to buck who literally did not ask him a single question as eddie spilled all his complicated feelings about it. and then said sex complicates everything and buck said hell yeah brother and then an elf called them gay.

Drinking Preferences in 9-1-1

Quick note: All of this is free from paid product placement because the show doesn’t have the characters interact with/drink real alcohol brands. They only use real brands for set dressing when they aren’t the focus and wouldn’t really be recognizable unless you already know that bottle/label.

So Maddie and Chimney have Grand Marnier and Monopolowa vodka (real brands) sitting out on a bar cart but the one bottle anyone interacts with is the fake brand of Glencallan scotch. The bar Chimney worked at was fully stocked with real brands of vodka (Deep Eddy, Stolichnaya, Tito's, Absolut) but no one actually touches them.

The fake prop brands fall into two categories: totally fake and generic, and lookalikes.

The totally fake brands are things like Glencallan scotch (a mashup of Glenlivet and Macallan) or the piscos behind the bar in Peru. Buck has Meichtry Draft beer in his fridge, which is a common prop beer that other shows use too, and a lot of characters in the show drink the generic Genuine beer.

The lookalikes are things like the beer Buck serves Connor that's called Cerveza Extra but it's written in a similar font to Corona Extra so to the passing glance, it’s recognizable to most people as a real brand they’re familiar with. When Buck and Hen are doing shots, the tequila is Carlos Medina Especial, made to look like Jose Cuervo. (Judging from the bottle shape and back label, Buck and Taylor were also doing shots of a different fake Jose Cuervo.)

Because they aren’t restrained by product placement, the show can give the characters their own drinking preferences instead of having them all drink the same brand with the clearly visible label conveniently turned towards the camera.

And because I was watching anyway, I kept track of how many times each character drinks what. (Scenes that show them drinking and what they're drinking, not counting up every drink they've had.)

So as of 6x12:

Chimney

Beer: 15 | Wine: 9 | Spirits: 4 | Cocktails: 0

Chimney seems to prefer beer, and he also drinks wine with Maddie pretty often. His go-to spirit appears to be tequila, but he also had scotch while his dad was visiting.

When he’s hanging out, he has a beer or two.

When he's misery-drinking, he has more than two, like when Albert first showed up or when he felt responsible for letting Shannon die.

When shit’s going down that he's not directly involved in, like when the Buckleys were coming or when Karen thought Hen was cheating again, he goes for tequila. It's a fake Don Julio called Señor Suertes.

But when things were really wrong, when Maddie first left and he was falling apart trying to figure out what happened to her, there was no evidence of him drinking at all. The entire apartment was covered in baby stuff.

Maddie

Beer: 2 | Wine: 18 | Spirits: 0 | Cocktails: 0

Maddie almost exclusively drinks wine, and in their new house, she and Chimney have a full small wine rack on the counter.

She first drinks a beer after dispatch was taken hostage, when both Chim and Buck are also having beer but Josh is having wine. She seems to have another beer at May's graduation party, but everyone's drinks are in plastic cups and look more like juice than their usual prop beverages.

She stops drinking through all of s4 (pregnant) and doesn't seem to have another drink until the balcony with Buck at the end of s5.

Athena

Beer: 2 | Wine: 26 | Spirits: 4 | Cocktails: 3

Athena drinks the most out of the main characters.

She usually drinks wine, but she'll also go for something stronger, usually when she's out at a bar. She often has a glass of wine with dinner, and seems to favor having one after a rough day. After she slapped Harry, she drank a neat whiskey at home. She's added whiskey to her coffee twice.

But like Chimney, when she's spiraling and obsessively cleaning the entire house after realizing Hudson was in there touching their belongings, she was totally sober.

Bobby

Beer: 0 | Wine: 0 | Spirits: 3 | Cocktails: 0 | Club Soda: 2

Obviously Bobby doesn't drink, but when he was struggling with relapsing in Starting Over, he was holding the same prop Glencallan scotch that Chim has. When he did relapse in Worst Day Ever, he was drinking a fake Jack Daniels. In Point of Origin, he was drinking a generic vodka.

(Interesting that he chose a 35 year scotch, which is not cheap, when he previously drank Jack, which is about $25.)

When he's out with people who are drinking, he usually goes for club soda or water.

(The same scotch being used for Bobby, Chim, and Buck could be intentional, but this is also a common fake scotch brand used all over the place, so it could just be that they had it on hand.)

Hen

Beer: 9 | Wine: 11 | Spirits: 1 | Cocktails: 1

Hen is mostly seen drinking beer or wine; beer when she's out at a bar, and usually wine when she's at home or at Athena's. Hen and Karen have a full wine rack in their kitchen (added after s4), but clearly neither one of them will turn down tequila (I like to think it’s Chim’s influence).

Eddie

Beer: 13 | Wine: 5 | Spirits: 1 | Cocktails: 0

Eddie generally sticks to beer. He's also the one we see drink the least out of everyone who does drink, but Maddie's only one scene ahead of him.

We've seen him drink wine a few times and he also had a cognac or brandy at dinner with Shannon (judging by the type of glass). But when he's most comfortable and relaxed, having a drink with Buck or the team, he's drinking beer.

We've seen Eddie drink wine (maybe) four times, all red wine:

Sneaking around with Shannon (two glasses on the table)

May's graduation party (maybe, could be juice in a plastic cup)

The math date with Ana (two glasses on the table)

Desperately trying to act normal while struggling with PTSD

*He also has champagne at Hen's party, and though it is a wine, it's specifically for a celebration and everyone has it except Bobby

We don't see him drinking after a rough day unless he's talking things through with Buck over a beer. If he keeps anything beyond beer in his home, it’s kept out of sight. There was no visible alcohol in his house in Texas either.

Buck

Beer: 12 | Wine: 11 | Spirits: 6 | Cocktails: 2

Buck is pretty evenly split between beer and wine.

He worked as a bartender, but he doesn’t seem to have much interest in alcohol beyond having a drink with other people. This makes me think he wanted to bartend for the social aspect of it, not because he particularly cares about spirits or making cocktails.

Buck also doesn't seem to care about the quality of what he drinks. Chimney's go-to bottle is about $40-50, while Buck's doing shots of bottom shelf tequila with Taylor and Hen, and drinking a full pint glass of watery margarita with Lucy. (This man should stop drinking tequila.)

The first time the Buckleys all have dinner together, Phillip has scotch and Buck has wine, but the second and third times, Buck opts for scotch with his dad. These are the only times we've seen him drink scotch, so I assume he did because his dad did.

The only time we've seen Buck drink alone was while he was depressed after the blood clot, as there were a few empty beer bottles scattered around his kitchen when Eddie showed up, and he was sitting with an empty beer bottle when Eddie and Chris came by after the tsunami.

He has a small wine rack on the kitchen counter that has a bottle in it, and occasionally there's a wine bottle grouped with the olive oil/other cooking bottles.

Random Observations:

Buck and Eddie didn't have a beer together on screen until 3x9, the Kitchen Scene.

Athena frequently drinks wine at Bobby's apartment in s2. They keep alcohol in their home and he has no problem pouring wine for others.

I'm pretty sure that the only time we saw Buck drink in all of s1 was (trying) to have a glass of wine on his date with Abby.

Hen and Athena almost always drink wine at each other's houses. I think they only had beers once.

Anyway, I think prop alcohol is really interesting and I have a passion for label design, and this is what I've chosen to do with that. Hopefully I didn't miss too much.

Evan "Buck" Buckley - 9-1-1 "Under Pressure" (2x01)

[911fan6]

Hiii 💕💕💕

Buddie + “come on, let’s get you home”

-❤️🪐

you are amazing for all you’ve asked me so far!! i couldn’t decide which one to do next but this one was calling my name lol hope you enjoy’n

-

“Eddie, both Hen and Chimney looked me over three times each. I will be fine.” Buck fought yet made no move to stop Eddie from checking his injuries over himself.

“Shut up and let me look.” Eddie muttered, carefully helping Buck sit down on the bench in the locker room. Buck couldn’t control his wince in time as he lowered himself, making Eddie chuckled. “Yeah, I’m taking my look.”

Buck sighed, closing his eyes and letting Eddie move his head to look at the bruising that’s taking over the side of Buck’s face. Eddie soon walked away, Buck made no move to open his eyes or to stand up since he knew Eddie would be right back.

Buck was right, Eddie was back at Buck’s side pretty much as soon as he left. Fingers gently curved around his chin, tilting his head up before a warm, wet cloth was dapping on his skin, removing soot. Buck hummed to himself as Eddie worked to clean his face and neck, enjoying the gentle feel of Eddie’s fingers guiding his head around.

The sound of the wet cloth getting thrown into the hamper had Buck opening his eyes, looking up to see Eddie carefully undoing Buck’s turnout coat. He realized Eddie had taken his own gear off sometime within the last few minutes as Eddie opened his coat.

Buck helped the most he could, Eddie doing most of the work to gently peel the coat off Buck’s body. Buck hissed as his bruised shoulder moved slightly, Eddie was quick to stop and give Buck a second before removing the coat all together.

“You know, you can just stay for the rest of your shift. You don’t have to leave early just because I am.” Buck tried, feeling bad that Eddie would be losing out on a few hours at work just for him.

“You just feel through a burning floor, Buck.” Eddie shook his head. “I’m going with you.”

“I’ll be fine, Eds. I’ll take pain relief and I’ll go straight to bed. I’ll manage for a few hours.”

Eddie chuckled as he moved to help Buck remove his turnout pants, careful of whatever bruises Buck now has on his legs. “You’re going to need more than just pain relief, Buck. Ice, maybe some ointment cream, and definitely some food. I think you’re forgetting how sick you get if you take some pain relief with an empty stomach.”

“I don’t get that sick.” Buck groaned.

“You threw up for hours, Buck.” Eddie laughed as he moved to gather their work bags and his car keys. “Then the sight of your own throw up made you throw up even more.”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah. You just love to bring that up.” Buck rolled his eyes, a smile spreading across his face until it made his facial bruising twinge in pain.

Buck whined with a pout, Eddie laughed fully as he threw a bag over each shoulder.

“Alright, come on. Let’s get you home.”

Eddie wrapped Buck’s arm around his neck, the one that didn’t have a bruised shoulder, and slowly helped Buck stand. Eddie held him tight as they carefully made it to Eddie’s truck.

“I don’t like falling through floors, Eds.” Buck pouted as Eddie leaned over him to buckle the seatbelt.

“I know you don’t.” Eddie placed a gentle kiss to Buck’s forehead before closing the passenger door.

all i need for s8 is for buck to remember being told "you don't find it, son. you make it." by an elder gay grieving his husband and suddenly realize that he's been building a love just like theirs this whole time.

god. god. but like. so eddie is dating this woman, right. she's shannon's mirror. shannon is every way that matters. she's got that rasp to her voice, that scrunch to her nose. she is, for all intents and purposes, the best parts of his wife minus the memories together. and so, it's like. he's with her, he's living this fantasy, this delusion, as ryan called it. and. it really is the most selfish thing eddie has done, which is incredible because eddie is a deeply unselfish person, not because of nobility but because he is violently self-sacrificial in a way that verges on self-harm. but we won't go there right now. so he's dating this woman—this fake shannon—and is just like. he's happy. for the first time in years, he's genuinely happy and he's tasting just a little bit of what his life could have been like if...

but then it's like. eddie. eddie. you don't know what you are to this woman. are you her second chance? did her fiance die? is she trying to find love again after tragedy? is she a cancer survivor? are you her new lease on life? is she from a different city? did she have a bad breakup? did her mom die? did her pet run away? did she lose a job? just. it's like. he's inserting himself into this woman's life and all he's thinking about is him him him. she's like my shannon, she's like my wife, i need to do this for me. and it's like ok... great. so you're entering this woman's life for your own selfish gain and you have no idea how badly, how deeply this will hurt her. eddie diaz, you may very well be Just Some Guy to her but you may very well also be The Guy to her. YOU JUST DON'T KNOW

and so. i'm thinking and i'm like. so she finds out. she finds out he's not single, finds out he lied to her from the jump, and she's hurt. and. i don't think eddie's thought that far. because right now, right, right now he's just seeing, and tasting, and feeling the joy and euphoria inherent to being in shannon's orbit. but baby boy. when you hurt her. when you see the tears well up in her eyes and hear that voice crack. when you see her brows draw together and her face tighten when she's pissed, and sudeenly you are twenty-something and stupid breaking your wife's heart for the goddamn millionth time all over again. what then. what then eddie? it's like. you cannot have the joy of "shannon" as some cosmic second chance without having the grief of her too. and it's grief either way. it's grief whether "shannon" is alive and he gets to live this fantasy up until he breaks her heart again, and it's grief if she's dead and she stays dead and life doesn't give him anymore second chances, like. it's all grief. it's all sad.

and he's gotta pick his poison. he has to. this is a path he must walk, but damn if he isn't picking the poison that's going to hurt him the most. i mean jesus. he should have just stuck to pining for a damn ghost. my god eddie. my god.

[911fan6]

this is how “i cheated on you” “with him?” can still win

[911fan6]

now it’s buck’s turn living in a romcom while everyone else is experiencing psychological warfare

[911fan6]

As I’ve been saying, do we all remember the last time we had a two part finale?!?! And what happened in that finale???? Oh right.
