Hahahaha!
Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.
Yep, I was laughing like a barrel of nuns at that.
Ha, Mark rightly did not like "Beer Bad."
I think there was a way to address underage or college-age drinking in a smart, sophisticated way. And I think that is something I would have liked to see on Buffy. Spoiler alert: THIS WAS NOT THAT STORY. There’s no moderation here! It's just INJECT BEER INTO MY FEMORAL ARTERY or no beer at all.
I like "Beer Bad". I'm often surprised by the episodes Mark hate and the ones he loves. He loved "The Puppet Show" which is definitely one of my least favorite Buffy episodes.
I could have suspended my disbelief if there wasn’t a scene where the pub owner didn’t wave away Xander’s concern for drinking age. Like FOR REAL. That happens never in any universe ever.
Seriously? At a bar near a college? This happens all the time.
The only times I was ever carded in college was buying wine at the grocery store. Never in a bar or restaurant.
I was carded WAY MORE just after college, going to dive bars. That is pretty weird, come to think of it.
Also, people I knew had fake ID's in high school, which now seems a little weird. A 16 year old looks so young to me now, I can't even imagine someone believing the ID.
Bars near my college were constantly raided, so most of them carded really strictly.
Boston is really agressive about carding. Weird, as its not much of a college town.

I'm not saying that all college bars don't card, just that the idea of a college bar that openly ignores the drinking age is not completely unheard of. I didn't drink in college, but everyone certainly knew where to go to drink underage without a problem.
