"I can certainly have a drink or two with you," Steve says. He thinks he might need it to steady his nerves even if alcohol doesn't metabolize in his body the same way now as it did before the serum. Now, it takes a hell of a lot to get him drunk and he's never really tried. It'd mean drinking an entire keg on his own or something like that and Steve doesn't have enough taste for alcohol to warrant drinking like that.
He deals with his pain in other ways, in ways that don't alter his mind and leave him blank. Catharsis is something that doesn't come easily for him. He doesn't need catharsis tonight, though, and when the drinks come he lifts his glass to Peggy to toast.
"To my beautiful wife and partner," he says, meaning every word of it.
