Harrison Barnes's first sip of alcohol was Warriors' victory champagne

As the Warriors ended a 40-year title drought, Harrison Barnes was also looking to end a dry streak of his own, as the 23-year-old small forward had gone his whole life without having a sip of alcohol.

The Warriors went into Tuesday night with a chance to clinch the team's first NBA title in 40 years.

Harrison Barnes was also looking to end a dry streak of his own, as the 23-year-old small forward had gone his whole life without having a sip of alcohol.

Before the game, Barnes told reporters that should the team complete its championship run, he would be willing to break with his teetotaling ways in order to celebrate the accomplishment with his teammates.

When the final buzzer sounded and the Warriors began to celebrate, Barnes kept his promise with one of the most enjoyable first sips of alcohol on record.

While Barnes dropped his no alcohol policy for the night, the team's other alcohol abstainer, Finals MVP Andre Iguodala, managed to fight off the peer pressure and say no to the alcohol despite the momentous occasion, according to Sports Illustrated's Lee Jenkins.
