A seeming-human character who is extraterrestrial, supernatural or otherworldly (or just has very strange eating habits) may not eat the same things as ordinary humans. Aside from their Fantastic Diet Requirement, they may be unable to eat or be repulsed by human foods. In other cases, they can and will eat human food, but the fact that they don't need to (or may need to chow down on something else as well) proves to be important. May act as a Red Right Hand that reveals that the character isn't what they seem. Named from the classic (and often imitated) line in Dracula (1931): "I never drink... wine." The opposite of No Biochemical Barriers. See also Eating Optional. Not to be confused with The Teetotaler. Contrast Fantastic Diet Requirement. Examples |

In Bloodsucking Fiends, Jody takes a tentative sip of water as she tries to come to terms with being a vampire. She has to spit it back up immediately, as she literally can't swallow it. Subverted later in the series, as it turns out vampires can eat and drink normal stuff, but only if the stuff contains/is soaked in blood. | |

In Tokyo Ghoul, Ghouls are not only unable to digest any human foods save for coffee, but find the taste so repulsive that it tends to make them throw up in response. Those choosing to pass as humans practice tricks to swallow enough to look like they're actually having a meal, but this requires that they throw it up shortly afterwards to avoid getting sick. When Ken Kaneki becomes a Half-Human Hybrid, his inability to eat human food is his first sign that something went horribly wrong during his surgery. | |

Gaia Online: Minigame Frontier Skies has a possible event in which Louie Von Helson gets a craving for cheeseburgers and depletes your food supply. Otherwise, he doesn't show any signs of understanding human cuisine. Or anything else about humans, really. Louie and his sisters competed in the Pie Hard pie-eating contest (the Twins lost early; Louie made it to the top six), and explained the situation with Gaian vampires and food: they can eat human-style fare, but it's just not as tasty to them. This also justifies an unused storyline that had Louie shilling a soy-based blood substitute. |

In the Northwest Smith story "Shambleau", when Smith offers the eponymous Decoy Damsel food, she tells him something to the effect of, "I don't eat your food" and then makes a slightly sinister comment about how she will feed soon on something even better than the food Smith is offering her. Smith is Genre Savvy enough to ask if she eats blood and she replies that she's not a vampire. However, it turns out that a Shambleau is a vampire. Just a vampire that feeds on lifeforce rather than blood. | |

Al from Fullmetal Alchemist is a disembodied soul bound to a suit of armor, meaning he can't eat or drink anything. To people who don't know that there's nobody inside the armor, this can be a tip-off that Al's not what he seems (as if the freaking armor itself isn't enough of a tip-off). | |

The vampires in What We Do in the Shadows (2019); not only can they not eat regular human food, they violently projectile vomit every time they try. A reformed vampire demonstrates the ability to eat human food to Nandor as evidence that he should join her cult. She's learned to hold the food down for about 10 seconds, just long enough for her to leave the room and vomit into a garbage can. |

A variant on Janitors of the Post-Apocalypse. Having uplifted the Technically Living Zombies that are all that's left of humanity, the alien Krakau have to figure out what to feed them. They are revolted by all human foods except raw fish. Ultimately the Krakau decide to not even bother with reviving human cuisine — besides, it's possible for a human who eats too much too fast to revert to being a mindless feral — and instead install ports into their cured humans' stomachs and give them nutritious gray sludge. | |

Discworld: Variations on the line used many times throughout the novels but especially in Carpe Jugulum, where the vampires are encouraged to try wine by their forward-thinking father. Igor also says the line, though it turns out that it's just wine he doesn't drink. Scumble on the other hand... Also in Thud!, where Angua, a werewolf, needles Sally, a vampire, with a variation on this line while they're both drunk. In Unseen Academicals, one of the more Genre Savvy characters asks for clarification as to whether Vetinari "does not drink wine" or "does not drink ... wine." Later we are treated to Vetinari offering his vampiric lady friend some ...wine. The ellipsis is his. In Monstrous Regiment, while pointedly objecting to the horrible beer that a bartender has sold his friends, the vampire Maladict says, "I, of course, don't drink... horse piss, but I have a highly developed sense of smell..." Also in Carpe Jugulum is a group of anti-Emo Teen vampires who invert the trope, and do drink... vine, all the time. Really. Well, a glass of port every so often. Once. A couple of sips of shandy, and most of us threw up, but Donald wears a corkscrew around his neck, and he sometimes has a real cork on it! Fine, so it's not inverted! You Never Respect Me, Vampire Dad! |

While the famous line doesn't appear in the book Dracula, Jonathan Harker does notice that he never sees the Count drink or eat ...food. The line that does appear in the book is "I have dined already, and do not sup", meaning that he has already eaten an early evening meal, and does not eat late. However, Dracula does apparently keep a good wine cellar for guests, as Harker comments very favorably on the "... excellent bottle of Old Tokay" he is served with his first supper at Castle Dracula. | |

Malack from The Order of the Stick does not turn up for meals with the rest of the group. When questioned about this, Tarquin replies that Malack has "a condition" which requires a very specific diet, so he eats his meals alone. When they stop using euphemisms in regular dialogue, it tips them off that the readers have found out, and possibly the heroes as well. | |

Stargate: The Wraith of Stargate Atlantis can consume human food and drink, but they gain no sustenance from it. They do occasionally eat food for the pleasure of it, though. After all, just because it doesn't feed you doesn't mean it tastes bad. Todd the Wraith from Atlantis positively loves dropping lines Lampshading this on humans he meets. In Stargate SG-1, Teal'c doesn't drink alcoholic beverages. It's unclear if it's a Teal'c thing or a Jaffa thing. He also shows an aversion to drinking milk in one episode, refusing a warm glass with the line "I prefer not to ingest bovine lactose at any temperature." |

Vampire: The Masquerade and Vampire: The Requiem: Both make it clear that the only thing vampires can digest properly is blood. Masquerade goes for a more instantaneous rejection; the vampire gags as the food turns to ash in his gullet and must cough it back up violently (unless they've taken the "Eat Food" merit). Requiem actually allows vampires to partake of mortal food and drink, taste it, and store it... but not for long, as by the end of the night, they'll have to vomit it up in a bloody mess. The Macellarius clan in the latter game are descended from a vampiric glutton, who forced himself to devour food and drink well beyond what his body could stand (no longer being able to eat or drink infuriated him). Eventually it warped his blood enough that he and his children gained the ability to eat... human flesh. Their unique Discipline, Gustus, allows them to devour raw flesh and gain Vitae from it. |

Odo in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine doesn't drink. Being a changeling, he has no taste buds, so it's not worth it to try eating or drinking. In social situations, he morphs part of his substance into a glass and fluid, which he then "drinks"; it helps him to fit in. As such, this is a literal statement applying to liquids in general, not just alcoholic ones: He mentions that he did try eating and drinking once. The end results were. . . not pleasant. |

In Monstrous Regiment, while pointedly objecting to the horrible beer that a bartender has sold his friends, the vampire Maladict says, "I, of course, don't drink... horse piss, but I have a highly developed sense of smell..." | |

While the gems in Steven Universe technically can use shapeshifting to allow themselves to eat and digest food, Pearl in particular finds the experience disgusting. (Amethyst, on the other hand, likes eating absolutely anything.) | |

In The Sims 4: Vampires, as a vampire gets more powers, you are forced to pick drawbacks. One drawback you can pick is the inability to eat regular food; if a vampire with this drawback consumes anything other than blood, they will vomit. | |

Cardcaptor Sakura: Neither Kero nor Yue, being magical guardians, actually need to eat at all. Kero mooches food off of Sakura during the course of the entire anime and manga series solely for his own amusement. Inverted, of course, with Yukito, Yue's Sleep-Mode Size, who uses caloric energy to supplement any insufficient magic energy source. |

Also in Carpe Jugulum is a group of anti-Emo Teen vampires who invert the trope, and do drink... vine, all the time. Really. Well, a glass of port every so often. Once. A couple of sips of shandy, and most of us threw up, but Donald wears a corkscrew around his neck, and he sometimes has a real cork on it! Fine, so it's not inverted!

Count Yorga: After the seance at the start of the film, Erica notes Yorga hasn't eaten or drank anything since he came to Donna's home. He claims to just have a troubled stomach but cites he'll get a "snack" later, eyeing Erica ominously as she goes to get some brandy for the other guests. He makes good on that claim by taking some of Erica's blood later. | |

Averted by Eric and the other Chee androids in Animorphs. While they don't need to eat, part of maintaining The Masquerade is looking as human as possible, which includes eating and drinking whatever the culture they're currently immersed in eats and drinks; ingested food is simply vaporized inside their body. | |

Universal's Dracula (1931) of course, as the Trope Namer. The exact line is "I never drink— wine." He breaks his word about wine in House of Frankenstein, however. Dracula's Daughter also never drinks wine, giving the same line. But tea is no problem. Bram Stoker's Dracula uses the line verbatim in a shout out to Lugosi's performance. Dracula 2000 uses a variant when Lucy offers Dracula coffee: "I don't drink... coffee." |

The Metatronnote the angel whose job is to be the Voice of God because God's Voice is too powerful for humans to hear without being killed. They went through five Adams before figuring this out. is seen getting around this rule by taking sips of alcohol and spitting it back into another glass. It's not drinking if he doesn't swallow. | |

Doctor Who "The Evil of the Daleks": The Doctor questions Arthur Terrall about the fact that he's never seen eating or drinking, at least around others. It has something to do with the fact that he's mind-controlled. It's never made clear exactly what his lack of public eating signifies; it probably just shows how unsocial the mind-control is making him, and adds to his air of creepiness and wrongness. "The Snowmen": Madame Vastra, a Silurian, meets Clara in her greenhouse, where she's drinking from a glass of red liquid, which she clarifies is not red wine. Since Vastra was introduced having just killed and eaten Jack the Ripper, and is mentioned in "Deep Breath" to be "having the Camberwell Child Poisoner for dinner" with a warning to stay out of the larder, it's pretty obvious what she's actually imbibing. |

An inversion in A Vampyre Story: Mona, our heroine, is a vampire. This is established fact. But Mona is in hardcore denial that this is the case, and claims that she's under a curse. A curse that gives all the symptoms of being a vampire, without being a vampire. To maintain her delusion, she claims that what she drinks is wine (it helps that her captor gets the stuff himself, so she never actually sees where it comes from). By the time the game begins, this is already a very old argument between Mona and her buddy Froderick the bat, who sarcastically refers to it as a salty-tasting Merlot with a slight iron aftertaste. She actually delivers variations on the line when presented with other beverages. | |

In Dragon Ball Z, Piccolo and Namekians in general only consume water because they're photosynthetic. That's right, Piccolo is a plant. Although before that revelation, Piccolo has been shown eating other things, mainly fish. The general consensus is that they only need water and sunlight, but are capable of eating. It may have to do with Kami (and therefore Piccolo) being from before the disaster that wiped out all Namekians except Guru, whose children may have been altered — much as King Piccolo's demon sons did not look like regular Namekians. Another factor could be that Namek has three suns, while Earth only has one. | |

However, his is also a first-class wine snob and since he can't get drunk he usually makes serious inroads on Magnus's wine cellar whenever he visits for any length of time. | |

Buffyverse: Vampires only need to drink blood, but some enjoy eating human food and drinking alcohol. Angel clarifies in one episode that he'll gain no sustenance from human food. | |

Played to the letter in the Artemis Fowl series. Should a fairy drink spirits, basically any form of alcohol, with humans, they lose a lot of their magic and are basically exiled. | |

Babylon 5: The Minbari literally cannot drink wine. Even a small amount of alcohol sends them into a homicidal rage. Other than that, food from most worlds is edible by most species. Minbari having an adverse reaction to alcohol is also mentioned by Marcus when he first meets Delenn and Lennier in a Down Below bar as a means of proving who he was. It is also brought up in a single line said by Lennier in response to a drink offered by Londo, who is not entirely trustworthy when it comes to drinks. In fact, in other scenes, during Sheridan and Delenn's dinner dates, you see them both drinking wine. Slightly Hand Waved in that Delenn is half human through Applied Phlebotinum at this point. The Pak'Ma'Ra fit this trope perfectly, as they projectile vomit anything synthetic, or fish. The doctor learned this the hard way. Note that projectile vomiting is even more obnoxious than usual in the case of the carrion-eating Pak'ma'ra. Humans who eat mixed alien and human food can get sick. It only came up once, but given the extreme biological differences between the various races (at least one species is known to breathe methane) that might not be too unusual. Inverted with some of the Centauri; Londo Mollari says he never drinks water, preferring alcohol at all times. Evidently, Centauri physiology lets them get all the water they need from alcoholic drinks while being able to process them and sober up with impressive speed. Another quirk of the Centauri is that they can't eat processed fast foods. As Londo's aide Vir puts it: "It tastes so good going down; coming back up, it's not so good..." |

Hellsing: An odd example comes from Seras tries to remain human by refusing to drink blood and trying to eat human food. The problem comes from the fact that, being dead, she can not only not process human food, but trying to eat it is outright painful; she can't even swallow it without immense effort. Alucard, on the other hand, is seen enjoying a bottle of wine more than once. On an airplane. In broad daylight. Over the Pacific Ocean. He's just so powerful that the weaknesses suffered by other vampires tend not to apply. |

Eli from Let the Right One In declines when Oskar offers her/him some candy, and when Oskar asks, "Don't you eat candy?" answers, "I can't." (Book version only; in the movie version, Eli eats the candy to please Oskar, and then becomes violently ill.) | |

Played straight in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. In the Asylum club, the bartender will ask the player character what they want to drink, to which they respond "I don't drink... alcohol." It also carries over for other vampires, in keeping with standard Kindred physiology; in hunting a missing vampire, the player character will hear a waitress describe how the vampire came into the diner, asked for a glass of water, and just stared at it for hours. | |

In Shadowrun Storytime, Geppetto is turned into a banshee to save his life. As an undead, he can only consume human flesh, blood, and souls. To maintain the illusion of still being alive, he can still choke down normal food at meetings and similar events but has to resist his gag reflex. | |
