Alcohol Poisoning is the slash ship between Tyrian Callows and Qrow Branwen from the RWBY fandom.
Canon[]
Volume 4[]
Tyrian is about to kill Ruby when Qrow is able to save her from a fatal blow. He then proceeds to fight against Tyrian using his bad luck semblance to his advantage. At one point during the fight Qrow loses his weapon so he then decides to continuously punch Tyrian in the face. Near the end of the fight Tyrian managed to poison Qrow with the stinger on his tail before Ruby rescued Qrow and managed to cut it off.
Volume 7[]
In "With Friends Like These", Tyrian makes an escape and kills the pilot. He draws attention to himself when he laughs maniacally while wearing one of the pilots hats. Qrow runs over to him and grabs him by the forearms, asking what he is doing. Tyrian then responds "the will of our goddess", while grabbing the control stick and crashing the plane into the ground.
During Qrow's fight against Tyrian and Clover, Tyrian suggests to Qrow that they should work together temporarily to take down Clover and then settle the score between them. After Clover's Aura depletes, Tyrian double-crosses Qrow by taking his weapon and impaling Clover from behind. Using Qrow's weapon frames him for the murder. Qrow, completely shocked, then angrily yells that he'll kill him and tries to lunge at him.
Qrow is taken into custody on suspicion of the murder that Tyrian committed. As seen at the beginning of Volume 8, Qrow now harbors a deep grudge against Tyrian. This leads him to making plans to track him down and kill him.
Fanon[]
Alcohol Poisoning is a rarepair in the RWBY fandom, with a small fansbase on Tumblr. Their lack of popularity is mainly due to the two being enemies, and Tyrian killing Qrow's friend, Clover. However, fans of the ship tend to enjoy leaning into the enemies-to-lovers aspect built into their dynamic. Most people who do ship them usually portray Tyrian as a yandere, due to Tyrian loving killing people and his many attempts to kill Qrow.
On AO3, there are currently 20+ works written for the ship. Most of the works involve other ships with Qrow in them, rather than focusing solely on Qrow and Tyrian. Still, it is Tyrian's second most popular ship. Alchohol Poisoning is most often rivalled by Fair Game.
