Agree to disagree. Getting dehydrated running around getting things set up for the party - maybe missing breakfast & lunch lunch for the same reason - is an easy way for a normal number of drinks to hit anyone lot harder than usual, so I don't think MC getting very drunk (particularly at a party where everybody adores him and probably would be handing him drinks constantly) would be out of character in any way. Not saying he's a lush.
And it being a 'safe space' with no driving to do TBH could make it
more likely that family members might overindulge, not less IMHO.
[I threw the roofie idea out there just because MC is surrounded by a bunch of interested/curious college students who might come across such drugs and maybe use them withough completely understanding what they are/do, not from the POV that anyone would use them
maliciously...unless this game ends up having a Pete of its own.

As for Eileen, I think it's odd that you quoted my post...but don't seem to have read it.
Where did I say anything about Eileen being uncomfortable with her body?? What I said was that
she might be inclined to keep a low profile and not call attention to herself until her discomfort gets resolved. Remember that she and her Mom are just getting out of an abusive situation, and for most people that doesn't translate to immediate extroversion. Don't see how any of that has anything at all to do with being comfortable or uncomfortable with her body, but then again I'm old and overtired ATM so I will assume I am just missing the obvious in my decrepitude.
Can't wait for the next update so we can both be proven completely wrong about everything.
