She doesn’t produce the enzyme to break down synthehol like normal humans as a result of her early Borg assimilation. It’s a great plot point in the episode being referenced.
yeah. I remembered that detail a second after hitting post

Janeway: Tuvok, B’Elanna, go down to engineering and convert all the photon torpedoes into giant hyposprays, replicate as much vodka as you can, and fill 'em up. We’re about to show the Borg what a Tuesday night was like when I was at the Academy.

This gif confuses me, where is it from?
Sony made a bunch of meme gifs for their games.

That SNL skit was actually pretty damn funny, but only if you’re at least mildly familiar with 70s celebrity panel game shows
