3.) Ruse
The first time Kirk had dragged him out to go drinking, McCoy had only agreed to go for the free drinks. Even before they had reached the bar, McCoy was determined for it to be the only time he went out drinking with the kid.
Of course, that was before he had ended up dragging a drunk and bleeding Kirk back to his room so he could patch the kid up before he bled out. The moron had refused to go to medical, and as a doctor, McCoy couldn't let him go without some form of medical treatment.
The next time the kid had come around, he complained and grumbled until a free drink was offered before he allowed himself to be dragged out. It became their routine, but it was a ruse that allowed McCoy to treat the kid after trouble inevitably found him. Plus, he wasn't one to turn down a free drink.
