I have to say this, and I am very sorry because I like the 
writer of this fic and I usually like his other stuff.

This part just seemed to go too far. Lawson did a fine job 
of exploring Ranma's mentality when confronted with what 
he had to go through and why he goes for Kentaro, but this 
seems to try to just be a mini-lemon. It was very un-Ranma, 
and it made me extremely uncomfortable. PLUS the use of 
alcohol as a plot device to make it "OK" for Ranma to mess 
around with Kentaro was weak and in some ways offensive. I 
don't know about you, but I have been slosh drunk and I 
have NEVER lost sight of my identity or wanted to go screw 
a member of the same sex just because I was too drunk to 
know what I was doing. Alcohol lowers your inhibitions, but 
not THAT much. Maybe it is a personal thing for me, but 
this section of this story was just wrong, and it seems to 
violate all that Lawson did in his two fics. Sorry... but 
that's just what my reaction was...

otherwise, the grammar and such was fine.
