But Their Anger Goes Beyond Booze

Sure, a drink can make one harsh and act on emotions, but there was probably more than that fueling their decision. No one likes a freeloader, and the truth is that their landlord was still expecting his full rent payment. This means that between them, they had to make up the cost.

Essentially, they may have been a bit gung ho about their sudden need to evict their roommate. But this also meant that they could justify paying the rent if it was just the two of them, without a freeloader. But most importantly, they could advertise the space for a third roommate and maybe have some extra cash again.
