Looks more like Fake High to me, and could lead to misuse. I vote to move to Fake High, which is currently imageless.

You're right. I support moving to Fake High. I suggest this for a replacement. [1]

I agree with the suggestion to put this image on FH, and the Cookie Monster image on DOM.

I support the CM image, but I find the current image not very clear. It's hard to see in the top frame what the kids? teddy bears? whatever that is? are doing but the focus seems to be on that bowl of shrimp? little party horns? whatever? At any rate, they seem to act like children having fun (which is what they say they're doing) and not like drunks or anything.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

I think the current image is clear for Fake High. In the top frame, the kids are sloshing glasses, looking happy (the right one)/drunk (the left one), and most importantly have the little drunk bubbles around them. They are clearly at the center of the image and have a plain background to highlight them, whilst the bowl of shrimp is in the corner and not very interesting.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

I don't see any drunk bubbles above their heads, and the right guy? girl? doesn't even have a glass. I don't think this is good enough for a page image.

They're surrounded by little floating bubbles. And righty doesn't have a glass because it's on the floor, dropped as a drunkard would drop it.

Not saying the image is perfect, but it's indicative enough of Fake High.

+1 to move the current to Fake High and use the Cookie Monster for Drunk on Milk.

Poor Cookie Monster. He took the death of Elmo hard.

[up]That makes a pretty good caption. I also support moving the current and replacing it with Cookie Monster.

Cookie Monster (13) is perfect for the trope and the quote (17) is good. I vote for both.

The original pic does need some studying before you realise those solid circles around their heads are supposed to be bubbles, and the wine glass looks a lot more like an exercise club, but it's probably good enough for Fake High pending a better image.

If the plate wasn't there I'd say "Cookie Monster found out he's diabetic." would be a great caption. I can live with 17 although Elmo not being dead (dammit) kinda weakens it.

I've made the swap.

[up] Perhaps "Emergency! Cookie Monster needs an insulin shot!" if that wouldn't come across as mocking diabetics?

The page quote also looks like Fake High. We should get a new quote as well.

The only thing I mind about it is that we now have a trope name, quotation, and image all specifically referring to milk. Of course, the description still mentions other beverages, and I kind doubt it would have an impact on people thinking it's just about milk, what with the general preference of shoehorning over accuracy, so it's not really a problem.
