Dolphus Raymond is found with a Coca-Cola in a brown paper bag.
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. In order to live the life he wishes to, Mr. Dolphus Raymond carries a bottle around of what everyone thinks is whiskey in a paper bag and drinks it. 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.
Mr. Dolphus Raymond gave Dill a drink of Coca-Cola to settle his stomach. However, he led others to believe that he was drinking alcohol, when in fact it was only Coca-Cola in a bottle.
During the court case, the children talk to Mr Raymond, and he explains how the brown bag only contains Coke, not whiskey, and that sometimes it's easier to pretend to not care, than to explain why he prefers to live with the Negro population of Maycomb.

Mr. Dolphus Raymond was unusual in Maycomb because he was a wealthy white man who socialized with African Americans and was rumored to drink alcohol out of a paper bag. In reality, he was pretending to be a drunk to provide a cover for his defiance of racial norms in a deeply segregated society.
Mr. Dolphus Raymond
Mr. Dolphus Raymond is a wealthy white man who is married to a black lady and has mixed raced children. He pretends to act drunk so the citizens of Maycomb will have an explanation as to why he is with a black woman.
Dolphus Raymond is misjudged because he simply married a black woman...in the 1930s...in Alabama. But he makes up for it by pretending to be a drunk. Whenever he's in town he carries a paper sack with a bottle inside that he's always drinking out of. People think he's an alcoholic and let that explain his interracial marriage. In reality it's Coca-Cola in his bottle. He lets the white people think he's an alcoholic because he can't stand their ridicule and know they would never understand why he married a black woman: because he loves her and her culture.
