When Mr. Raymond offered Dill a sip of his drink Scout tried to stop him telling him it was whisky, but Dill took a sip and remarked that it wasn't whiskey but cola. Scout then asked why Mr. Raymond would let people think he was drinking alcohol, he replied that he knew that the people in Maycomb wouldn't understand him living with a colored woman unless he was a drinker. This showed us that it doesn't matter what other people think because as long as your happy you should do what ever you want
