Squidward’s beverage choices are weirdly under-discussed. Tea? Probably. Explicitly shown? Hard to say. He’s often with a mug, but the show rarely labels it. In 'The Two Faces of Squidward,' he’s trying to impress everyone with his 'classy' alter ego—perfect tea time material. Honestly, it’s funnier if it’s left to imagination. His character’s all about failed sophistication, so a tea scene would just highlight his loneliness. I like to think he owns a fancy teapot he never uses because he’s too busy sulking.
Squidward’s love for the finer things in life totally aligns with tea culture, but pinning down an exact episode is tricky. I remember him holding mugs a lot—like when he’s miserably staring out the window or pretending to be cultured. The show rarely specifies the drink, though. It’s usually just a prop to emphasize his mood. That said, in 'House Fancy,' he’s obsessed with his 'perfect' house, and I wouldn’t be surprised if tea was involved in one of those scenes. His whole character is a satire of elitism, so tea would be the cherry on top. The ambiguity kinda works, though—it leaves room for fans to project their own headcanons. Maybe he’s a secret chamomile enthusiast when no one’s looking.
I’ve scoured my memory for Squidward tea moments, and it’s frustratingly vague. There’s an episode where he’s at a café ('The Splinter'), but he’s more focused on his dramatic suffering than his beverage. Then there’s 'SpongeBob Meets the Strangler'—he’s in a diner booth, but the mug’s contents are a mystery. The animators probably didn’t think twice about it, but fans notice these things! Tea fits his persona so well: bitter, refined, and slightly pretentious. If I had to guess, he’d be a Darjeeling guy—something with a snooty name. The lack of confirmation makes it fun to speculate. Maybe it’s one of those 'lost media' details the crew forgot to include. Or maybe he’s a coffee drinker who secretly wishes he liked tea but can’t admit it. That’d be peak Squidward.
You know, I've watched 'SpongeBob SquarePants' for years, and Squidward's pretentiousness is one of his defining traits—so tea feels like it would totally fit his vibe. I can't recall a specific episode where he's sipping tea, but he's definitely the type to enjoy a fancy Earl Grey while judging SpongeBob's antics. There are moments where he's at home with a cup, but it's usually left ambiguous whether it's coffee or tea. His whole aesthetic screams 'artistic snob,' so tea just makes sense. Maybe it's in one of those quieter background scenes where he's sulking at his clarinet or reading pretentious literature. I’d bet money it’s happened at some point, even if it’s blink-and-you-miss-it.
Now that I’m thinking about it, there’s an episode where Squidward hosts a fancy dinner party ('Club SpongeBob,' maybe?), and he’s all about sophistication. If tea didn’t make an appearance there, it feels like a missed opportunity. The show’s humor often plays with his failed attempts at high culture, so a tea-drinking moment would’ve been golden. Either way, it’s fun to imagine him with a tiny teacup, pinky out, glaring at SpongeBob’s chaotic energy.

It's my first day undercover at my future husband's dessert shop, and chaos walks in with fake lashes and two-inch nails.
"I want an ice cream. Heated."
I paused. "Just checking... You want your ice cream hot?"
She gave me a look like I'd failed kindergarten. "Yes. Hot ice cream. Are you slow?"
Deep breath. Zen mode. Customer-first service smile.
"I'm sorry, ma'am. Ice cream has to stay frozen, or it just turns into—well... milk. If you want something warm, we have hot tea or coffee."
"I'm pregnant!" she screeched. "Pregnant women crave weird things! Plus, my doctor said I can't eat anything cold! Are you trying to kill my baby and me? Is that what this is?!"
People started turning their heads.
Fantastic. A whole audience.
I kept my voice low. "Ma'am, I can refund you."
She suddenly smacked the counter, knocking the scanner sideways. Her nails shot past my face like tiny knives.
"What kind of attitude is that?! A pathetic cashier talking back to me? I'll call my husband and get you fired!"
Then, she leaned in like she was about to reveal a royal bloodline. "Guess what? I'm the boss's wife."
I blinked.
If that was true, I really needed to stop thinking about helping my boyfriend to open 3,000 franchise stores.

Dominic Langdon, a gang boss, is about to host his birthday banquet soon. He specifically tells everyone that he wants bluefin tuna and premium abalone as the grandest dish in his banquet. That seafood comes to a total of 80 thousand dollars.
But my uncle, Steve Cutterson, gives me 800 dollars and tells me to carry out the task.
I head toward the garbage dump of the farmers' market immediately. Soon, I return with a cartload of canned sardines and crayfish. After calculating the transportation costs, it comes to a total of 800 dollars.
When the cheap-looking seafood is served, Dominic is so pissed that he flips the table on the spot.
"How dare you pocket my money! You must have a death wish!"
Steve quickly makes me the scapegoat.
"Mr. Langdon, Caleb is the one who bought the seafood! He must have embezzled your money! Caleb, you'd better grovel to Mr. Langdon and pay him back right now!"
I just show everyone the magnified version of the transfer record of 800 dollars with a stony expression.
"Take a good look, Uncle Steve. Do you really think you can afford bluefin tuna with just 800 dollars? Did Mr. Langdon give you the money purely out of charity purposes?"
During a game of Truth or Dare at a gathering with friends, my girlfriend, Bridget Ellison, loses. Her punishment is to buy coffee for everyone.
Half an hour later, she returns carrying more than a dozen bags and starts handing out drinks with a smile.
"Francis, you've been pulling all-nighters for two days straight. Here's your iced long black."
"Daryl, you like java chip frappe with extra mocha sauce, right?"
"And here's yours. Lemon black tea, no ice. You've ordered it hundreds of times."
One by one, everyone gets their drink.
By the time she reaches me, only an empty bag remains. Everyone at the table freezes.
"Where's Aiden's drink?"
She pushes her peach frappe toward me and says, "I forgot. He can just share mine."
A friend immediately groans and complains, "It's the same every gathering. If you two want to show off how loving you are, can you at least come up with a new routine?"
Everyone around us laughs and teases us, but I can't bring myself to even take a sip of the drink.
I'm the only one who knows the truth. The display of affection is an act. In reality, she has truly forgotten to buy me a drink.
After four years together, Bridget still can't remember that I'm allergic to peaches.
I set the peach frappe back on the table.
I've spent four years settling for less. Now, it's time for me to leave.

SpongeBob's relentless energy versus Squidward's grumpy demeanor is one of the show's most iconic dynamics. Episodes like 'SB-129' showcase this perfectly—SpongeBob's cheerful chaos disrupts Squidward's time-traveling escapade, turning what could've been a quiet moment into pure madness. 'Can You Spare a Dime?' is another classic where Squidward's attempt to live luxuriously collapses when SpongeBob crashes at his place, flooding it with jellyfish nets and absurdity. The contrast between Squidward's exasperation and SpongeBob's oblivious joy never gets old.
Then there's 'Snowball Effect,' where Squidward's snowman-building ambitions are derailed by SpongeBob's hyperactive 'help.' Even episodes like 'The Camping Episode' amplify this theme—Squidward's peaceful retreat becomes a nightmare thanks to SpongeBob's relentless singing and campfire antics. It's hilarious how Squidward's suffering is almost poetic, a running gag that defines their relationship. I love rewatching these moments; they’re like comfort food for the soul.
I was rewatching 'SpongeBob SquarePants' recently, and this question made me chuckle because Squidward’s misery is legendary, but he never actually drinks alcohol in the show. The closest thing is that infamous 'Krabby Patty overdose' episode where he hallucinates after eating too many burgers. There’s a moment where he acts loopy, but it’s just surreal humor, not booze. Nickelodeon keeps it family-friendly, so while Squidward might deserve a drink after dealing with SpongeBob and Patrick, it’s all implied suffering. Poor guy just needs a vacation.
That said, fans love imagining darker, adult-oriented versions of the show where Squidward might crack open a kelp beer. There’s even fan art of him drowning his sorrows, but canonically, it’s pure G-rated chaos. If you want existential dread with a side of humor, episodes like 'Band Geeks' or 'Club SpongeBob' capture his spirit—just no alcohol in sight.
