    Billie’s cleavage window bothers me…
    As a large-breasted woman myself, that’s not how lowneck shirts look on us.
    (Specifically panels 3 and 5)

    Also:
    Nooooo! You can’t take away Billie’s copy of your room key!
    You two are my favorite slightly dysfunctional couple!

    Hi, Willis. Glad to see the characters quitting. I’m sure someone has told you about these before, but just in case I’m wrong, here are a couple great reference articles on quitting drinking that could help give an accurate portrayal of what these two are going to go through.

      It’s nice to see a fellow Cracked reader, but even if your ideas sound like good ones to him, you can’t expect them to implemented until the far future.

    Hailing from a state that’s drunker than whole countries, it’s hard for me to buy that these girls are quitting. It strikes me as a degree of self recognition that’s beyond the average college freshman, especially one as allegedly jaded as Billie. She’s been caring for drunks through high school right? So someone bottoming out like Ruth did wouldn’t rattle her enough to stop her own party train. I could see Ruth offering to slow down. Or denying that there’s a problem at all. But to quit drinking entirely, even with the evidence we’ve seen? Maybe that’s the difference between going to School in Indiana rather than Wisconsin.

    I never got the logic behind “Hey, let’s go kill our livers by drinking something that makes us depressed, angry, throw up, and then repeat the same symptoms six hours later but with a migraine”. I just didn’t.

      Not everyone goes through that when getting drunk. Alcohol is used as a means of escape much of the time.

      Of course, different people handle it in different ways.

          I hate marijuana. For one, I’m asthmatic, so inhaling smoke is uncomfortable. There’s no euphoria when I smoke, just laziness. Where alcohol shuts down the part of my brain that shouts discouragement, weed kills the power and leaves me perplexed.

          Your “logic” cartoon is bullshit propaganda.

      The symptoms you’re describing are by no means the only ones alcohol has, nor are they present 100% of the time. For example, alcohol has never made me “depressed or angry”. No, for a socially awkward person who struggles in social situations, loosening my inhibitions allows me to hold conversations I’m too nervous to have sober. Sober me at a party is hiding from a crowd on a balcony or in a bathroom. Drunk me is having a conversation with a pretty girl.

      Having fun on alcohol is like having fun on any drug: be responsible, know your limits, and know what you have to do to combat the side effects. Don’t want to throw up? Stop drinking when you stop feeling like drinking. Don’t want a hangover? Glass of water to wash down your last drink, then another one before you go to sleep.
