* {{Narm}}: Giles of all people disapproving of Buffy drinking beer. Looks like Joss and co forgot he's from a country where the drinking age is 18, and it's socially acceptable for teenagers to start drinking before then, and that he's made fun of cultural differences between England and America multiple times before.

* GoodIsNotNice: Inverted: Parker Abrams is a presentable, soft-spoken, seemingly thoughtful, snake of an horn-dog who might feel a little bad about hurting girls emotionally but never enough to change his behaviour toward them. He may have a future in creating pro-feminist television fantasy-series….
* RetroactiveRecognition: One of the frat boys is Creator/KalPenn.
* VillainHasAPoint: He is a cad for trying to use it the occasion of putting moves on Willow, but most of what Parker tells Willow seems to be true of very many male-female interactions (I'd put money on it being true of the other combinations with which I'm less familiar), and Parker, unfortunately, has not been nice to Buffy or can be what she wants, but seems to be pretty typical of college hook-ups.

Parker is not a good guy, but he's not wrong about the general run of relationships between young people.

* AlternateAesopInterpretation: The episode is supposed to have its [[AnvilOfTheStory heavy-handed moral]] in the title. But the plot would have gone exactly the same if everyone were drinking soda. The real moral is "Be courteous to bartenders and others in similar roles, because if they snap they can do some serious damage." Not a bad moral, really.

** Ironically, the episode was intended to have a clear moral, as the writers participated in a competition to write a storyline that (realistically) brought up the dangers of drinking... and were disqualified, because every complication is caused by supernatural influences rather than the beer itself.
