[@STONESGAM]

I always thought the Doug Coughlin character was very interesting in this film. He liked and respected Flanagan because he was an honest, straight forward type guy and he didn't know many people like that. But he was older than him and a veteran bartender so he had to play the mentor role to Flanagan even though he probably should have taken Flanagan's advice more than his own on some things. I think he was jaded after years of bartending and living that lifestyle in Manhattan and sleeping around with many different women over the years. He wanted to go to Jamaica and open up a bar with him but was too proud to admit it because it wasn't his idea he as the mentor and he wanted to just strike it rich overnight somehow. He was too proud and wanted to play the mentor role to Brian. He was also jealous that he taught Flanagan all of his bartending tricks but Flanagan was becoming the star bartender and getting more attention from women than him being the young, good looking hotshot. He stabbed him in the back with Coral. If Coral was a bad person Flanagan would have found out himself soon enough. Doug acted like he was teaching him a lesson and looking out for him when he really did it out of jealousy. I think Doug had been disappointed and stabbed in the back himself many times over the years and had a low opinion of other people.

[@johndoyle2429]

Doug Coughlin played by Byran Brown, Great Underrated Aussie actor, it's a shame get more credit like for example another Aussie actor Mel Gibson.

As a person behind the bar, this banter is very real when you have your mentor as a guest. You guys banter to create that connection while teaching you a lesson but ultimately, he or she will hype you up with the people drinking! The 50 bucks is a tip!
