Your favorite what is WHAT?

First issue. You know how in CLAMP it looks like almost all adults (with adult bodies, that is) sorcerers (or just people with big powers) drink or is told they enjoy alcohol? Because taking it to consideration, it's a bit silly to say a magician or magical person is an alcoholic just because they're seen drinking a couple of times in canon, or the words "sake" or "booze" appear in their list of interests.
Because okay, yeah, it's quite likely Yuuko does have a problem with her drinking. And Clow could've gone away with it with frequency. But people like Kaho, or even Fay, aren't portraited as perpetual drunkards (especially not now for Fay; I mean pre!Tokyo Fay obviously).
I think that this is just CLAMP'scanalizing her taste for booze through their characters way to make their adults more realistic. Or the crack theory: there's something so bad about magic of the sorcery variety in CLAMPverse it drives them to drink XD *see icon*
Besides, sake is used in Shintoist rituals. Kaho was raised in a shrine and worked as a miko. She's canonically able to taste sake a few times a year and enjoy it, without being a drunken whore. Now, there's nothing wrong with assuming a huge love for drinks for fanon, like me making RP!adult!Eriol like his occasional Guiness pints at the local pub, but using it for pepperjack cheese or bashing purpose is a bit too much.
Second issue. I found myself googling kanji for flowers... again. *headdesk*
On one hand, it's cute that both Nakuru and Kaho's favorite flowers have the kanji of moon on them, and they're both white. If you're curious, Kaho's is Oenothera tetraptera and Nakuru's is Epiphyllum oxypetalum.
On the other hand, Spinel's is Papaver somniferum. Which is the opium poppy.
WTF SPINEL. WTF.
