A conversation with a dragon

Chris decided to go drink in the tavern as he recently broke up with his wife and he hurt himself in accidents. It wasn't going well for him.
He entered the tavern and everyone inside seemed drunk and unconscious except for the servant. He seemed to be disappointed at everyone.
Chris sat in front of the beer table and began to talk
Chris
You don't seem to enjoy your job. Can I do something to help?
Kevin
You can't change man's ways...
Chris
Is that why you hate your job? Because everyone gets drunk...
Kevin
Yes, I have been surrounded with these alcoholics for a long while now. It makes me lose hope in humanity.
Chris
Well it's because they are trying to forget their past.
Kevin
But it only makes it worse as they destroy things and fight. One even ended up in jail.
Chris
Well damn, I didn't know it was that bad...
Kevin
Are you here for the booze as well?
Chris
I'm afraid so.
Kevin sighs and transforms into Vlad. The drinkers think they are losing it so they leave. Chris just stares at the dragon-like figure with fear.
Vlad sits next to him.
Vlad:
I'll have to refuse your order as alcohol is ruining your life.
Chris
WHAT!? NO IT'S NOT!
Vlad
Yes it is that's the reason why you broke up with your girlfriend and lost your health.
Chris
How do you now all this!
Vlad
Oh? Let's just say that I have been watching you and if you don't change your ways then I'll have to do it the hard way.
Chris
It won't be easy to change my ways as it's a part of me.
Vlad is frustrated as he hates when people underestimate him and his eyes change from green to red. Chris sees the damages alcohol did to his friends and himself, but it had no effects on him and he laughs.
Vlad is confused and surprised.
Vlad
I wasn't expecting you to laugh and be unaffected! How did you do that?
Chris
It became a part of my life so it's permanently etched in my conscious and it's stuck there.
Vlad
You're a tough one, then. Let's start a conversation as I desire to know more about you
Chris
Okay then.
Vlad
Who showed you taverns and drinking alcohol?
Chris
My grandfather gave me a few sips when I was younger and told me that if my life would fall apart to drink until the mind will be at ease.
Vlad
Why did he start drinking?
Chris
Because he hated being old and weak. He wanted to be young again but he could not change time.
Vlad
So he's moved on?
Chris
Yeah, he died of a heart attack.
Vlad
May he rest in peace. Also I'm sure that he remembers and cares for you out there.
Chris
I hope you're right...
A moment of silence takes place.
Chris
So what are you?
Vlad
Well, I am a crystal dragon that was born from-
Chris
Oh, my god, are you Godzilla!?
Vlad is annoyed by that response.
Vlad
WHAT!? NO, I'M NOT! OBVIOUSLY AS IF I WAS I WOULD HAVE DESTROYED HUMANITY ALREADY!
Vlad looks unhinged.
Chris
Sorry, I watched too much Godzilla and I didn't mean to make you mad. Let's make this civil.
Vlad calms down.
Vlad
You're right. I gotta relax and chill.
Chris
So continue your story.
Vlad
So yeah, I obtained my powers from the crystallized temple, but they were dormant back in the day until I fought a giant dragon of destruction and broke its heart. That was when my powers opened up.
Chris
That's fascinating stuff!
Vlad
It is indeed but I've also been through ups and downs and I'm far from perfect.
Chris
It's a rare sight for someone to be perfect.
Vlad
Yeah, I guess that's what makes you people humans.
Chris
I never thought of it that way.
Chris
Also have you ever met an alien?
Vlad
Yes, I've fought one, but I will not divulge more information as you may see him soon. Oh, yeah, and I also met a humanoid raccoon with a bad temper. 
Chris
Uhm, ok...
Chris
But please, can I have that beer as a sign of politeness?
Vlad is once again against that idea and he seems sad.
Vlad
Fine, then, go at it...
Chris grabs a few beers and drinks them until he feels high.
Chris
OH, THE POWER RANGERS ARE HERE! YEAH!
Vlad facepalms and teleports him back home.
He lies on his bed and falls asleep. Vlad phases through his bedroom door and enters Chris's subconscious.
Chris dreams of him being kidnaped by Renegade. He seemed quite insane and curious. They entered his spaceship. He seemed to be vaccinating him with beer and booze and pipes were attached to him with more narcotics that were messing with his brain. Chris's vision changed into a blurry mess and he saw faces and shapes all around him.
He even felt his brain dying and shutting down and his memories were dissipating. He couldn't scream because of the pain. It was literally his personal hell filled with frightening hallucinations and abduction and endless pain.
The last thing he remembers before waking up was him falling in an ocean and sinking to the darkness.
He woke up shocked and in disbelief. He would never forget that nightmare as it was etched into his mind, and right when he tried to drink wine his body rejected it and he spit it out. That was when he noticed that his alcohol days were over as this nightmare overtook his obsession.
Chris
I can't believe he did it!
As time passed the nightmare was forgotten but his need to drink was moderate and healthy.
