Something thatdoes not
like is drinking alcohol. His mentor, , was a drinker, and Gatsby formed an alliance with Cody
by taking care of Cody when he was drunk. Dan Cody himself never even knew what he might do when
he was drunk, so he placed his faith in the young Gatsby to take care of him.
Gatsby became Cody's steward, companion, secretary, and even a kind of jailor, keeping
Cody out of trouble when he was drunk. As a result of these difficult past circumstances, Gatsby
does not like drinking, though he serves alcohol at his grand parties. He inherited from Dan
Cody a love of money and the high life but not the love of drinking.
