I swear panel two Faye was hoping Bubbles would say something about how drinking was a bad idea, just so she could go: "You don't tell me what to do and to prove it I'm going to drink this now!" She does have a history of responding to all comments from friends suggesting restraint with alcohol by deciding to keep drinking or increase her drinking, even if they were only saying: "You know I think you might have had enough for tonight."
freeman:
Faye, drink your rotgut like a man, you little ****.

Complete abstinence is often the only way they have to deal with their problem. Because they can never have 'just a drink' to relax, or reward. One becomes two, becomes a bottle, becomes sneaking around and lying about drinking. Because living life while impaired because you are always drunk or hung over and craving.

That's pretty fucked up too. People drink to get drunk. Period.
That said, when multi day heavy binges once become the norm, it's pretty hard to stay in any kind of moderation, hence going completely dry or one becomes one of those funny tragic characters who stay months dry at times and then have a few days of total mayhem every once in a while.

Not that simple. I enjoy the occasional drink with dinner or having a beer while watching a football game, but if I've ever been drunk, then it is a seriously disappointing experience.

Not everyone who drinks heavily is addicted. There are people with horrid alcohol intake without addiction. Those can return to a normal drinking schedule. Most teens to that when they grow out of the "being drunk is cool"-age.

At least I get pretty strong euphoria from heavy drinking.
Long binges are the worst though, it doesn't even work properly from the third day on. No thank you. :psyduck:
Still I really despise cultures that try to chain drinking into that laughable one to two with food kind of pretention, when total bliss is but few shots away. Perverted. Much preferable are the cultures that do allow the few national get wasted days a year. That's a communal thing like some ayahuasca ritual in deep amazon, a cleansing ritual by its truest nature.
