How Gossip Girl and 90210 deal with real issues of the day — like blogging and drinking

90210: DRINKING PROBLEM
Annie (Shenae Grimes) is a black hole for Dr. Peppers. She's at the new 'n' improved Peach Pit waiting for an official date with Ethan (Dustin Milligan). But four Peppers drunk, still no Ethan. Wait … there's Ty (Adam Gregory), who's all "Uh, you dissed me for a date with a soft drink? Where your black brother works?" Translation: You're kind of a freak. No smart girl in Beverly Hills drinks four of those calorific villains. At least get Diet! As for Ethan, he flakes on Annie via text message.
How Gossip Girl Compares: Serena (Blake Lively) is a black hole for dirty martinis. Her trademark is to rub her pursed lips all over the rim of the glass. This makes Dan (Penn Badgley) realize that he doesn't know Serena at all.
