One idea I had for the character of Aidan is to show the drastic transition between the time the film starts and the time he starts to witness Sky's paranormal activity. As with grief comes depression and there are mentions of people turning to alcohol, which I thought could be established by having a side-board or dresser that has bottles of alcohol on them at the beginning and then find that many are missing, with the empty remains scattered around the house. Aidan would likely attribute the activity of Sky's spirit to being drunk. Alcohol is also one of the contributing factors towards heart failure (or as we have Takotsubo cardiomyopathy which is also caused by failing health).
So I looked into ways to create fake alcohol on set. One of them would be water for Vodka, another would be using water but colouring it with food colouring to make Whiskey. Other ways for Whiskey is using apple juice or ice tea.
