Regardless of the success of the "don't be that guy" campaign, the picture used to illustrate it in the article bothers me for reasons unrelated to the intended message. In that picture, the woman is depicted as having passed out while drinking (she's still holding a glass in her hand, and some liquid spilled from the toppled glass onto the floor), and it's unclear to me from the picture whether she's lying facedown or with her face turned away from the camera and toward the back of the couch. If the former, it seems to me there would be a real risk of her choking. The lack of a "...but make sure she can breathe freely" mention is not one I care for.

That would have been an excellent addition.
