  Fewer would only be used in this case if drama was plural. Fewer dramas vs less drama

    I was referring to fewer people lol.

    Really though the jury is kind of out with fewer/less in a lot of situations, but a strict rule would probably say “fewer people, less drama”. The real contradiction is “15 items or less”, which should really be “15 items or fewer” but the former is so well established now it won’t go away.
