- page 112: "So they bought a drink and then we bought a drink and then they slapped us on the back and bought another drink."
Although this is only one instance in the story, drinking is a huge reocurrance among the characters. Not only is it drinking, it is excessive drinking. They drink all the time. When they hang out, they drink. When they have meals, they drink. When they meet people, they drink. And etcetera etcetera. Drinking is bound to happen if you are with theses characters. If this is occuring, then it is bound to be a hectic time. Pretty much every single important event that happens is in the presence of drinking. This can be connected to today because drinking is associated with having a "good time". Even though this is not necessarily true, it is the perception. People think its all fun and see celebrities drinking and find it acceptable. The truth is that it isn't glamorous at all. This story really shows this to us when we see Mike on numerous occasions make a fool of himself. He says rude comments and just is obnoxious! On page 149, it is quite obvious everyone notices this as well when Brett says "Mike was awful. He's terrible when he's tight". I mean at one point she wanted to marry him. For her to say this he must be bad.
