Wreck Smurfy:
Just to stick in my two cents (five cents in Canada):
1. Faye is not in any medical danger. She's done a binge, passed out, puked in the best possible position for a passed out person (Instinct, experience? Obviously alchies can pass on their genes, so this might be inherited behavior.)
2. Pintsize is not dead, he's shut down. Honestly, can you imagine any writer killing off one of the two first characters of his/her story as casually as this? I suppose it could happen, but not by a writer as talented as Jeph.
3. That twice-puked-on (that we know of), often slept on, and sat on since http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=7 nearly the beginning, really has to be replaced. I'm far from Hanners-fastidious, but that piece of furniture has to go. Faye could make a peace offering to Marten in offering to pay the price. Where she might come up with the funds is beyond my ken, given her current unemployed status.
ReindeerFlotilla:
I think Pintsize would only really become interested in alcohol if he worked out a way to pressurize the holding tank, and ignite it as it exited.
Flaming farts? Oh yeah. Flame thrower ass? Even better.

Once again, I repeat - just because you puked up (some of) the alcohol, doesn't mean that you aren't still in danger medically, or at risk of dying.

--- Quote ---Critical Signs and Symptoms of Alcohol Poisoning
-Mental confusion, stupor, coma, or person cannot be roused.
-Vomiting.
-Seizures.
-Slow breathing (fewer than eight breaths per minute).
-Irregular breathing (10 seconds or more between breaths).
-Hypothermia (low body temperature), bluish skin color, paleness.
What Should I Do If I Suspect Someone Has Alcohol Poisoning?
-Know the danger signals.
-Do not wait for all symptoms to be present.
-Be aware that a person who has passed out may die.
-If there is any suspicion of an alcohol overdose, call 911 for help. Don't try to guess the level of drunkenness.

I seriously hope some of you are never the voice of reason at a party with lots of alcohol and drinking involved. You could very easily let someone die by means of lack of education on the matter. Not pointing fingers at anyone directly, but just saying.

But I'm always pale. I tend to avoid the day-star.

I'm with you there. Damned bright thing in the sky, waking me up. That jerk.
