 The two went to the wedding reception together, where Bloberta introduced Clay to liquor.She believed that alcohol relaxed people for the better (mainly because that's what it had done to her father), and even used a religious justification ("Jesus drank") in order to get him to drink.Alcohol caused a massive switch in Clay's personality, turning him into a womanizer and drunken partier, before ultimately causing Bloberta to punch Clay unconscious in order to keep him from flirting with other women.
