Ruby is currently cutting a swath down to Haven with Team RNJR, and has become better friends with Jaune, the first she actually met in Beacon. The whole team is now powerful enough to qualify as second years, even if they finished their first.

Yang's downward slide progresses throughout the story, and she eventually tries drowning her sorrows in alcohol, much like Qrow. Things become strained with her father and the public in general, since they undoubtedly still remember what happened at the tournament, so it's unlikely she'll get out of DGAS mode by the end of the Volume. Though maybe she'll surprise me and recuperate faster than I'm expecting, we'll see. I imagine Jaune's going to be hampered by Pyrrha's death, and melancholy at stages, which Ruby's going to have to help him work through. I wonder if she'll be able to help, especially if she didn't know how involved Jaune and Pyrrha really were.

And...you realize Yang is 18. And as such can't drink alcohol as per United States law and social mores (which is bound to influence Rooster Teeth's writing process).
