When Shapey shoots Orel's eye with a bb gun, Orel is admonished instead because as the older sibling, he needs to be more responsible and mature. To learn more about adulthood, he and Doughy spy on the adults in Forghetti's pub. He ultimately concludes he needs alcohol to be more mature. He proceeds to get drunk at school, and becomes as miserable as the adults he observed. Bloberta figures out Orel's getting into the liquor cabinet, and Clay punishes Orel for taking his alcohol, saying he's not ready for it yet: first he must experience stress over events he can't control, then work a soul-numbing job. Then, once he accepts this as normal, ''then'' he's earned the right to get drunk.
