 * Take two shots if it's multiple outfits being over-described.
 * Take a shot for every designer label mentioned when describing an outfit.
 * Down the bottle if there's a chapter where an outfit is not over described.

 * "Point"
 * "Given"

 * "Are you a [x]? Then why are you..."
 * Take a shot every time Dylan wangsts about her weight.
 * Take a sip if you want to scream at her that she's probably skinny by normal standards.

 * Take a shot every time Unfortunate Implications pop up.
 * Take a shot every time you wish you could look away, but for some reason, can't.

 * To a lesser extent, take a shot every time you get ideas for a Dark Fic or Deconstruction Fic.
 * Take a sip every time somebody gets away with something.

 * Take a sip every time you think, "What kind of parents would name their kid [name], anyway?"
 * Take two if you're thinking about Massie.
 * Take a shot every time you wish it would end up like Heathers.
 * Take a shot every time you think:
 * "I hate these girls."
 * Take two for every "I hate Massie."
 * "Good god, stop describing the outfits and TELL A STORY!"
 * "This is supposed to be a story, not an ad!"
 * "When will Alicia give it up?"
 * "Is the author a pedophile/ephebophile?"
 * "I Need a Freaking Drink... Oh, good!" *gulp*
 * "Go bankrupt!"
 * (to the parents) "My God. I mean, oh. My. GOD. Why would you give your spoiled bitch of a daughter everything she wants? Grow a pair and say no!"

 * Down the bottle, actually. It'll take your mind off of how pathetic we really are...
 * Take a shot if you decide you don't care, at least we're having fun.
 * Hey, the worse something is, the more cathartic it is to rag on it. That's the whole point of Bile Fascination.
