Fenna Elin

I have a feeling that this might not end well… 😭

Jasollie

Just the worst feeling when you start to realize you’ve had too much, and you’re still out in public. ❤️

Lorna O’Neill

I think this is the earliest I've ever been 😂 also oh dear Nick is wasted!! Definitely don't see this ending well 😬

Katie H

I really like the way the panels have become more wobbly the more drunk they're getting. Also, it makes me wonder if Nick is getting more drunk to block out his feelings so he doesn't have to think about it 🥹 I really hope he talks to Charlie soon ❤️

Katha

Where is Darcy?

Beam Bugge

the vibe of this is not too different from tha halloween party we saw in season 3... ik that nick is happy (ish) in this one (and charlie is present) but it still feels kind of empty in a way?

Chloe ♡

is tao about to fall backwards 😭

abbie

i feel like this isnt going to end good.

Sarah Jacobs

Oh noooo Nicky boy! Drunky Nicky! I sense trouble......

Madeline Hutchinson

I’m concerned that Darcy hasn’t shown up, I hope everything is okay

Dionne Lakey

Haha Tao's face and Nick's a gonna

lexi

nicholas "i don't dance" nelson looks like he's really feelin the music rn

Charlie

Uh oh indeed Alice. This is bound to end badly, or sadly, or both 😭😭

Rmb

Nights that start with shots end with tears. That's just science

Chloe ♡

drunk nick is so good at spilling his drinks wherever he is first tara’s couch now taos sweater

Nicole

Oh nooooo

Steph

This is about to get real bad!!

Merel

Tao's face 😭 My favourite reluctant friendship fr

Debbie

Oh Nick beware the demon drink... 😈😳😅

Nyssa Rawther 🍉

Look at the love hearts in Nick's eyes 🥰🥰 idk if I should be worried that he's clearly trying to drown out his anxieties w partying or be happy that he's having a stress free night out with Charlie and their friends. I guess I'll be both.

Anne-Lise Torre

Who's gonna be sick tomorrow ?... I still feel so bad for our Nick because we can just see that he's trying to feel better... 😢

Gina Alongi

Haha. I took a look at the top of the page, said “uh oh” to myself, read the rest, and then saw Alice’s caption. Poor Nicky.

Elena

Nick doesn't know his alcohol limit yet.. 😅 But he will after this night, I'm sure! 😅

Nyssa Rawther 🍉

P.s. I LOVE the looks on both Nick and Tao's faces when Nick's got his arm slung around Tao. Their friendship is so sweet and hilarious to me lol

Jordan

Starting to think “green” could be foreshadowing for getting sick 🥺 so cool that we had the Halloween party on the show but now we see a similar scene/energy in comic style!

Barb

Uh oh kinda storm is coming😮‍💨

Julia Schmidt

I’m so excited for the angst I can feel it

Jo Mary

Oh Nicky be careful and l hope he opens up to char about how he is feeling never good to keep stuff in bless him x 🫶🏻 x

tess ^_^

i gotta know nick nelson’s drink of choice

CinD

I’m starting to think the green dragon 🐉 is gonna be Nick but instead of fire 🔥 he’s gonna be spewing something else… 🥃 🤮

ella

the heart eyes get me every time😭

ACxo

even wasted he’s in love

Elena

There will definitely be a vomiting situation! 😅

gaby

mom come pick me up i'm scared

Sara

hes toast

Jmejimz

I like the bubbles 🫧 for the 🍻 atmosphere. I have we seen those before? Fun detail!

Lorna O’Neill

I love all the faces in this page 😂 Taos is hilarious! Does Charlie look worried to anyone else or is it just the energy he's giving to the performance?

Zoe

Oh dear hormones and alcohol don’t mix well. I feel like nick’s gonna be all horned up and Charlie will stop him again and they will fight 😢

qwerty

Oh no Nicks gonna feel it in the morning

Tina

the heart eyes, nicholas you ain't slick

Jess🍂

This isn’t good… oh boy

Ciara

Nick hanging out of Tao 😅😂😂 and Tao looking utterly tortured!

Crow_pose24

Looks like Nick is drowning his anxieties in beer and shots to me...

Maddy

I'm honestly scared for what's coming up, but I actually just can't stop laughing at Tao's face. Also, the heart eyes are wild 'cause you know Nick is HUNGRYYYYYYYYYYY.

Bugtocos09

I’m 100% reading to much into this but anybody else think Charlie looks kinda like he’s not really there everybody else is all happy and cheerful and he’s kinda just sitting there

Jordan

I think he’s just really focused on playing drums and maybe also tipsy?

Maddy

Charlie looks a mixture of tired and worried. Which is valid considering he's watching his boyfriend and friends get uncontrollably drunk. Also, I'm worried about Darcy; have they still not shown up?

Maddy

I hate yet love how Tao and Nick are just drinking their feelings away. I feel like they're going to have a deep drunken conversation with each other.

Steph

Why does this feel like the the start of the “Nick and Charlie” fight but in reverse….instead of Charlie being insecure and getting drunk it’s Nick. I really hope this doesn’t start a major fight.

Carly Louise

Hope Darcy shows up in time to hold Nicks hair back for him

Lorna O’Neill

Yeah that makes sense and it's what I thought at first and then I started overanalysing it 😂

Larisa

Incoming breakdown 😢

Theaterboi27

Awww man I can't watch what's getting ready to happen. There is a serious amount of alcohol consumption happening. Char is playing away just watching the chaos ensue. Good thing Nick has short hair, so Char doesn't have to hold it back later. Wait, who is going to drive home? Love the bubbles, though. Have we seen bubbles before?

Maddy

I'm a little worried about them getting home. I don't think Nick would ever try to drive but even walking home seems like it would be an issue.

Elfi

Another beer, another shot - Nick is obviously getting really drunk and I love how the panels keep getting wavier and the bubbles all over the page. Also poor Tao's face is hilarious as Nick's drink tips out on him. 😂

Brandy78

Oh man! Uh oh, indeed! 😬😬

Rafaela Molero

i always thought that charlie is the drinker in the relationship

Michael Boehnlein (Bane-line)

tao’s face!!! hahahaha watch out nick! though, i hope this FINALLY brings out his truth to charlie! 🫶🏻 you have to let those who love you know what’s eating at you! i can’t wait for nick to be seen in this truth and start a path forward.

GirlHero

the look on tao’s face feels like foreshadowing, fr!

Nikki

As much as I love the artwork on this (Kerrang!)….. Niiiiiiiccckkkk!! 🙈

Lissie

I've been where Nick is and he's gonna have a hell of a hangover later 😬

Katrina

Uh oh indeed Nick is drinking his feelings away. I sense a very emotional conversation incoming. The way Nick has heart eyes for Charlie that’s so adorable. I love how the lines are getting more wobbly the more Nick drinks because it shows just how drunk he’s getting. I love how much detail that you put in every one of the pages Alice!!

flynn tasker

uh oh nick pace yourself!! im scared for whats going to happen on the next page 😭

Noemiette

The way you are building up the tension in this scene (but more subtly since the beginning of the chapter) is absolutely delicious to follow. 😙👌 *chef's kiss* And as always, playing with the frames to show us Nick's stages of drunkness is so good !

Loveislove

Yeah - looks like Nick is holding Tao hostage. No sign of Elle or Darcy. I am sure Nick is going to be displaying some results of all that alcohol to his not drunk partner soon and I have no idea what Alice has in store for us. I remain hopeful for the morning after but worried that the theory of a reversed Nick and Charlie novella fight may be in the works 😬.

Flor López

In my experience, drunk ramblings (or when you are tired as hell, too) help you sometimes understand what you are feeling. Too bad I usually forget all about it the next day 😬

Flor López

It's coming... Either this 🤢🤮 or him being open to Charlie 😅

Gracie

Nick calm down in the drinking

Nicole Mizell

This panel has me all kinds of nervous.

mlyn xtzy

lol he's def gonna vomit

Cole Morin

I’m gonna need this to just be an emotional teary spill all conversation and not a blow out argument please lol 😂

Bob Scardino

Is there a designated driver or did everyone walk to the venue?

Shin__

🤔

artxsta

brilliantly drawn alice, the escalation of the squiggly panels as nick gets drunker is so visually captivating, and i love the way you’ve been utilizing the comic format and the creative license that comes with it— this is what it was meant for!!!

artxsta

also, as some ppl have pointed out, this DOES feel like it’s potentially heading towards reverse N&C territory, but i’m hoping nick doesn’t make a scene and overshadow the band’s performance, because that would be quite shit. also considering historically how stressed charlie gets, and how he had been struggling w eating a few pages prior, i hope that this doesn’t send him into a tizzy as well. as someone who has been in a similar position as nick, i understand the numbness and elation that comes with letting your inhibitions loosen w alcohol and not gripping onto life, your fears, and your insecurities as tightly. it feels so freeing but there comes a breaking point, which nick is barreling towards. i hope this turns into an emotional and open night and not a messy, embarrassing or regretful night but you know, you live and you learn.

T

Continuing to hold space for Nick’s liver ❤️

T

also every doctor I’ve met or the kids of doctors I’ve met were expert drinkers

Tanya

One of my favorite of Nick's green flags is that he thanks clerks and servers with intention (at the milkshake cafe, ice cream vendor, zoo gift shop, and now the pub). He's the best and I hope getting super sloppy allows him to let go and share his anxieties with Charlie. I'm sure he'll feel better afterwards even if he has a bit of a headache. 💚💚💚

Brent Henderson

I’m getting worried about Nick. Alice, you’ve got me on the edge of my chair. 😳

Justin S.

Oh....oh Nick... lol Tao is not liking being used as a wall

Jennifer Paddock

Absolutely adore the effervescent bubbles in place of leaves or sparkles. It adds so much to the overall feel of the page. ❤️❤️❤️

Leonie

the hearts in nicks eyes though

Rosana

Oh, Nick! This is not an effective coping strategy!

Erynn

oh no

Lolli98

I throw up just looking at all the things Nick drinks.🤢 There won't be much talking left, the way he looks in the last two panels. I think he's going to do something very stupid...😑

Calfic

OMG, I can just feel the headache and maybe regret Nick is going to have tomorrow. I just hope that whatever happeens, he doesn't make Charlie too mad or embarress him. I couldn't tell whether Tao was upset because of the Elle stuff, or being uncomfortable with how Nick is acting. (or both). Also is Charlie noticing how much Nick is drinking? I think there can be a fun tipsy, and a not so fun tipsy, and I think Nick has arrived there. I still think Charlie and/or someone from the Paris Squad will make sure he gets home. He has friends there, that is not my worry right now.

val

uh oh indeed

Angie Michaelis

The expressions on this page are fantastic, but there is so much to unpack! Are the rugby lads as drunk as Nick? They look so mischievous. I love that drunk Nick is not only dancing and sloshing his drink, but he’s doing it with Tao. They’ve come so far. And Tao’s face is perfection. 😂 However, I can’t stop looking at the last three panels. Is Charlie sweating simply from drumming, or is it something else? He kinda looks worried. Knowing Charlie, he’s probably noticed how much Nick is drinking. Also, I love Nick’s starry heart eyes and blush, but he looks sad at the same time. Alice, this page is perfection! ❤️ Uh oh, indeed!

Angie Michaelis

I first noticed the bubbles on yesterday’s page. Such a fantastic addition and representation of this alcohol-infused scene!

Shannon Funt

I can’t recall ever seeing Nick drunk… only thing I can think of is the drinks being opened in the NF series at the Halloween party when Charlie was away… which never looked messy for him but did result in one of the only time we really see him crying-crying. So maybe he is a drunk cryer ♥️🤞. Def looks like a pass out is coming though 🥴 at least we know he’s got Charlie and friends to make sure this doesn’t become a regular thing (hangover also good for that!). Feel bad for Char though… seeing your partner wasted is a really sinking in your gut, scary and icky feeling :( def gonna make it hard for him to carry on playing much longer ♥️

Lolli98

We know what's wrong with Nick. But what's wrong with Charlie? Is he drunk too, because he didn't eat before? Why is he sweating? And the look on his face... Now I'm worried about both of them.🙁

Frances

Not Nick drinking his feelings… 😬🫣 I hope this doesn’t end badly!

Kay

I think he's playing drums because of the "boom boom tss" since it shows someone else playing guitar

Flavia Morlacci ☾𖤓

I think Nick is drinking to forget about what he's going through. maybe he will make a drunk confession to Charlie (this feels like a Deja-vu, like in Nick and Charlie novella). I really hope I'm wrong and things will go different

ucfnurse

Charlie’s face!!!😯😬🫢🫶🏻❤️🌹👀🤞⚠️☕️🍩🥡🥢🍶✌️🕊️☮️

n d

new to patreon but i am so excited 😭😭😭

JP42

Interesting—That felt consistent with rock drumming to me. I’ve seen a lot of drummers look like they’ve been running after a set.

Cody

Something's about to happen

Alice P

Uh oh was exactly my thought!

Alex Cross

I was right… the Nick and Charlie flashbacks are happening 😭😭😭

Loveislove

Oh no - probably not a dad/childhood flashback - he has heart eyes...happy memory I ask in a delulu mood?

Button

You know what? We were all messy drunks at some point in our youth. Nick is living right now, having fun but yeah unfortunately he's gonna be a bit a of mess. And I'm here for it. Charlie may either be noticing what's going on or focusing on playing the drums. No, the Rugby Lads are not doing anything wrong or have sinister motives get Nick drunk. They are also having fun!! Today's page is real, chaotic, relatable and most of all fun!

Ariel

We know when Alice says "uh oh" it's about to get realllll🥺💕

Lauri

Omg.. Nick

RCM

One way to quickly escalate from fun tipsy to risky tipsy is continuing to buy your own pints AND have friends keep giving you shots (even lads who care about you can convince themselves it's good for YOU to let loose for once, Nick Nelson...). But, omg, what a fucking party and rocking concert...the dance floor is packed, the music is thumping (so love the music notes!), the crowd is talking and laughing and having so, so much fun (except for maybe Tao who doesn't seem to be very interested in Nick spilling his sticky ale all over him, lol), and even the symbolic bubbles scattered on the page contribute to the pub party mood ( I swear I can feel that music from here!) I do think, however, about how this must look from Charlie's POV (and a questionably sober/ not sober Charlie POV since he may or may not have finished the spiked lemonade that his sneaky boyfriend gave him). At first, it's fun and exciting to see your boyfriend really enjoying himself at your concert, but as the night moves on, you notice all the little signs that he is getting drunker than he might have planned. Charlie looks worried to me, and I suspect he is watching Nick and playing his set, watching Nick and playing his set, watching Nick and playing his set, and feeling the heat rise in the room with the thumping of his own drums setting the tone...all this would make me sweat with worry, too. What hits me so hard though are those last two panels today...they show the juxtaposition of emotions Nick is carrying. The close-up of Nick drinking his pint with his dilated (thanks, shots and beer) heart eyes and warm blushing, along with the lighter background that includes those white glowy dots reminiscent of Charlie Spring's warm and safe light energy, give us that outward, familiar, in love, so happy, so proud, so " my heart is going to burst from love for my boyfriend Charlie" vibe. It's so sweet and precious, and signs of a happy drunk. But, that last panel, when Nick takes a breath and closes his eyes, we see the background get darker and those white dots seem to smear, like Charlie is there, but not THERE there...like he's close but far, because that inward place where Nick's mind seems to go here, Charlie hasn't been yet... I feel a bit of darkness seeping in as the alcohol catches up to Nick, and his guard is dropping (that guard for himself and for Charlie)...and since we saw manifestations of his buried trauma in his dreams, think what the effect of too much alcohol can do...Gah, these pages are so GOOD because sometimes being drunk can force conversations along (ideally followed up when you are sober!) OR it can have you say things in a way you may really regret later. And I have zero idea where Alice is going to take us! AH! SO good and hard and realistic! (and lads ,please, be good mates and get Nick some water and FOOD, lol...).

Brandy78

I check back so many times waiting for you, RCM! I can never articulate and I just love your thoughts!

Robert

I was wondering where this was going. Now I have an idea. A bit worrying though.

Brittney

Oh my God Tao's face 😅😅 but oh Nick, I don't know if I should be worried or not.. but oh boy

Elfi

Same! It's always a pleasure reading your comments!

Elsie 3

Sweet baby Nick drinking his feelings and he doesn’t even know that’s what he’s doing 😭😭😭

Antonio

why do i feel like we'll see nick throwing up

Angie Michaelis

I agree. I love this page. I wasn’t thinking the rugby lads were doing anything wrong, more like being those friends who are too focused on having fun by getting drunk without thinking about the consequences. It seems like they haven’t seen Nick loosen up like this and are enjoying it. Such a fun page.

Vantacy_1912

U know what…maybe it’s not good for ur health to do this but, it’s probably a good chance for Nick to loosen up and finally give something from back of his mind to Charlie. We’ve seen this somewhere else with Darcy so…u can have fun for once Nick babe.

David C Witkin

Nick's FINALLY gonna let loose! He's gonna let his guard down and say what he is really feeling about something, maybe about MANY things, and it will be uncomfortable and it will be REAL. And if Nick becomes too drunk to drive, or stand, or walk unassisted, or if he has to throw up, then he will get to experience Charlie or his friends holding him up and taking care of him for once. A very rare occurrence.

Eileen

Uh oh haha

Cliff

If Nick goes to hospital with alcohol poisoning, that would be quite a turn of events! It’s all the fault of that satanic rock and roll music! 😉

Murgy

Oh Nick, is the night about to get away from you? With beer, shots and a fun atmosphere? Hopefully it doesn't get too out of hand, and that it lets Nick let his hair down for once, though the "Uh oh..." from Alice does suggest that maybe the night be a more eventful time than I think either Nick or Charlie expected. Tao does not seem to be having the best time, whether its Nick's exuberance and flying drink, overthinking about the argument he and Elle had earlier, it being too busy or too loud whose to say. I hope Darcy gets to make it down, and that Charlie is enjoying performing, even if he is worrying a bit about Nick's state.

Elspeth Fougere

Urg 🤦‍♂️ So honest Alice. I love how you do this over and over again, capturing such common experiences that young people go through. So relatable, any time Ive gone out, surrounded by so many people going through some version of this ❤️ clever! 🙏✨

June

Uh-oh, drink nick..😨😳

Evergreen

This is one of my favorite little things about Nick, too! It’s a green flag I always look for in people IRL, and I feel like you don’t see it in fiction - books or screen - very much.

Polythene Pam

It's still so weird to me as a USA'n to see teenagers drinking 🫣 I know it's totally normal in other countries, but my brain is like... NOOOO you're going to get arrested 😭😭

Polythene Pam

Nick is my #1 favorite, btw ❤️😍

Nils

Uh oh. There is a serious boyfriend conversation incoming

rickettyuncles

I think the « look » is just concentration—Charlie’s drumming hard (hence the sweat) and not quite sober

Robert

I have another concern. If Nick gets his brave hat on after lots of booze, he might be a bit too free with his words and maybe come to regret it afterwards. That said, there is no mention of another row in Nick & Charlie so Nick might just say the right words.

Elsie 3

I feel like I haven’t really read each page until I’ve also read your comments. Thank you for sharing your insights and analyses with us! ❤️

Laura

I can feel that hangover brewing 😂

RCM
