      Alison does something naive.
      Any of the characters kiss each other, with the exception of the

      up her relationship with Billy.
      Someone mentions their parents.

      opposite sex and doesn't have to explain to the other one that
      it's to be purely a business/platonic evening.
      Amanda mentions rent payments. (Drink twice if it's said to
      someone who isn't in the middle of a personal tragedy or crisis.)

      The engaged couple get through an episode without fighting.

      neatly wrapped up. (Doesn't count for season finale.)

      Someone new moves in who everybody hates. (If they rerun Amanda's
      debut, drink extra 'cause we all know how this turns out!)

      apartment. (Lovers are excluded from this.)
      Billy works. (At the office)

 Lemme have it!! -Kel
