The Problem With Drinking Beer

You know how the first beer goes down so easily and the second can follow so quickly. So you now have two pints sloshing around in your belly. Let me tell you that is not exactly correct. For what you really have is a pint in your bladder and a second pint trying to work its way into your bladder as well. You will not notice this until you are about one third the way back to your flat. This is guaranteed!

You now have really only one of two choices at this point. Stop at the next pub you see. It should be within a stones throw. Rush in and use their toilet. The Mens is usually in the basement. Then calmly ease up to the bar and order a half pint. Have a moment and enjoy your half pint. Now this is the important point. Make sure you get rid of that second pint before leaving. You should be able to enjoy a nice stroll home.

The second choice. Just go for it. It isn’t really that far. You know you can make it. This is usually my pick of the two. By the time I get back to the building Donna is living in I must look like a three legged rabbit being chased by a rabid fox. I am trying to get the keys out of my pocket while also removing my long coat. I usually try this while wearing gloves. At this point I am breathing and sweating harder than most marathon runners at the twenty mile point. But if you make it you feel like a gold medal winner and you are ready to go celibrate with a nice cold pint. Hell, mabe two!
