Sorry its late, went on vacation and moved back into school. I just got some new sketchbooks for comics, and I'm itching to draw in them. Hopefully that gets us somewhere...but thanks for hanging in there guys! :D
I'm sure that Chinese is unreadable. Those were some hard symbols to draw.

The characters look right, but I'm not sure what you are having him say. I see a question mark, but no identifying "question word".

@Skriptkitty: Thanks for pointing that out. It might have something to do with the phrasing. He says "Want to get a drink?". I'm not sure if I should have gone with "Would you like to get a drink?" instead. If you have a better translation that makes sense, I'd be happy to change it!

Er, it's way longer but I guess the best way to write it (while keeping it casual) is:
想要得到喝吗？
Literally: "You want purchase/get drink?" Note the rather annoying question word that Chinese loves, "吗" which is the only word that changes it from a statement to a question.
Usually if you want to talk about alcohol specifically you literally have to say it, but I think you can just say:
"想获得喝吗?"
Want to get a drink/get drunk?
Errr...all of this is coming from someone who only took 5 years of Chinese and totally isn't fluent or anything. I only know about 2,000 characters, so this might be awkward sounding too? I would go with the latter one for simplicity's sake.
