The drinking party was quite a success, particularly in the view of the snake. Gerda's attempt to chug an entire fifth was technically successful, but she had hardly finished before she passed out, right in front of the snake, who had not been fed since the owner had been distracted by the preparations for the party. Lydia, Gerda's lover, was not successful in rescuing her, but she was voted most devoted lover since she was still trying to get Gerda out even when Lydia was already halfway in herself.

And of course, the snake did not need feeding for a long time after this.
