Mr. Dolphus Raymond is different from the rest of the community because he is in love with a black woman, which was not accepted. He had children with her who are mixed races and also are not accepted in the community.

However, the drink is actually Coca-Cola, but he acts like a drunk because it allows everyone to think that he is too drunk to realize what he is doing is wrong.
