Videl didn't bother to hide her disappointment at Gohan passing up the opportunity to try a drink. Though the subject of drinking had never come up between them, Videl wasn't surprised that Gohan acted exactly like she expected him to: total hesitation at something socially normal. What kind of teenager didn't want to try alcohol at least once in their life? Videl had fond memories of swiping a can of her dad's beer for a sleepover with Erasa when they first started high school. The taste of beer was absolutely revolting and they ended up pouring most of it down the sink, but the two girls boasted loudly of their drinking prowess during their freshman year.

Nowadays, as a mature eighteen year old woman, Videl knew that any alcohol worth drinking was a brightly colored mixture containing juice and sugary syrup. The drink that the bartender presented to Videl was exactly that: a vibrant rainbow spreading out in a wide martini glass with a soft-light hologram projecting a laughing cloud raining multicolored liquid into the glass.

"It's called a 'rainbeau,'" Videl answered as she lifted the glass and took a delicate sip. The drink tasted like a combination of cotton candy and fireworks, somehow tasting exactly like she would expect a rainbow to taste. She set it down with a pleased sigh, then turned back to Gohan.

"Do you want to try some of mine? It says right here that the synthehol ones like this are non-addictive and don't have any harmful side effects." Videl pointed a short paragraph on the menu that explained the difference between traditional alcohol and the outrageously popular synthehol that even minors were allowed to drink.
