Re: Drinks, cigars, first names

I should have remembered he does in Any Old Port, feels like the writers allowed it due to being educational and high brow.

Re: Drinks, cigars, first names

He also drinks wine at the last supper with Paul Gerard in Murder Under Glass. He accepts a beer from Cooper in Columbo Goes to College, but I don't remember if he actually takes a drink of it, and he said something about drinking a warm beer in Any Old Port.

Re: Drinks, cigars, first names

He gets seriously drunk on his evening out with Joe Devlin in the Conspirators. All in the name of the investigation of course.

Re: Drinks, cigars, first names

In Identity Crisis he accepts a glass of red wine from Brenner but never drinks it.

Re: Drinks, cigars, first names

In one of the more famous scenes (especially for Michael Lally fans) of the series, Columbo takes a beer from the fridge of Michael Lally ("one of the top wire acts in Europe"), pops it open and takes a sip while discussing The Great Santini in "Now You See Him".
