Defying Death - S1-E2

Stupidity: The Chief Baker on the Titanic is fast asleep in his bunk when the ship hits an iceberg. It is said that he survived because he drank heavily prior to his going into the water. He had at least a full tumbler of alcohol. He is shown drinking it in two scenes. He is shown dressed in full white chef gear and even wearing a white chef kerchief. It seems stupid that he would wear such a thing if he had just been startled awake.
