A Christmas Story --DeWese

Soon the bartender delivered the club soda and demitasse of espresso. He served the drunk his shot of bourbon, the beer and placed the tab beside the drinks.

The drunk fumbled for his wallet, extracted a credit card and pushed it toward the bartender. The businessman was calling his office on a cell phone, but saw the drunk gulp the shot, grab the draft beer and chug it down. The entire consumption process was amazing and seemed to happen in a few seconds.
