The 'one beer' Mission Impossible (EN)
Why is drinking 'just one beer' such a mission impossible? I decided to do extensive research to figure out where it goes wrong.
4pm
Me: “You going to this party tonight?”
Friend: “Maybe, but just for one drink, got to get up early for work tomorrow.”
Me: “One drink does not exist.”
Friend: “Haha, maybe two.”
Me: “See you later!”
10pm
Friend: “I really got to get up early tomorrow, so I’m leaving at midnight.”
Me: “Sure, want another beer?”
midnight
Friend: “Let’s do shots!”
1am
Me: “It’s 1am…”
Friend: “The next dj is a friend, we should really show our support.”
Me: “One last beer then?”
2am
Friend: “We should be calling it quits.”
Semi-stranger: “I just got us new beers.”
Me: “Can’t waste beer.”
2.30am
Friend: “Time to leave?”
Me: “I love this song!”
Friend: “More beer?”
3am
Me: “We should leave.”
Friend: “We really should.”
Me: “Heads we stay, tails we leave.”
Friend: “Ohh tails…”
Me: “Best out of three?”
4am
Me: “Why are the lights on?”
Friend: “I think the bar is closing…”
Me: “Fuck, let’s quickly get some more beers.”
9am
Me: “Auch, next time I’m just getting ONE beer.”
