Ett tidigare utkast till manuset (februari 1981) visar att han dricker Mezcal utan is, vilket han beskriver som ett glas " smokey , torr "
TAFFEY (to the bartender) : Louis, the man's dry. Give him one on the house, huh ?
BARTENDER : Whatcha drinking ?
DECKARD : Smokey, dry.
TAFFEY : You assed about a snake.....
Deckard is suddenly hopeful.
DECKARD : Yeah.....
TAFFEY : Wanna see a snake, huh?
The Bartender puts a weird drink in front of Deckard, tiny worms floating in a viscous liquid.
Deckard takes the drink like he was used to it and swigs.
