A Guy Walks Into a Bar:
Three Shorts About Booze & What it Can Do To & For You

The Casts… LET ME BUY YOU A DRINK
A Note from the Author I like to drink—perhaps you do too. When I drink, I make sure I set
limits; how much I’ll drink, when I’ll start, when I’ll stop, what I’ll
say once I’m drunk, etc. The trouble is, alcohol relaxes the muscles,
and the brain is a muscle. By the time I’m on my second drink, those
hard-and-fast rules begin to seem too narrow, too restrictive, the
hidebound strictures of a . . . yeah, I’ll have another. Uh, I think it
was a Smutty Nose Blueberry I.P.A. Thanks. --Con Chapman |
