I went to a pub today. No big deal.
Anyway, I met a friend who is a big drinker; we used to drink a lot together. They had a lot of guest ales on and he was trying to get me to try some of them but I ordered my usual soda water. He was clearly disappointed and, like all heavy drinkers, was a bit upset and uncomfortable at drinking alone (to start with). In this case what part of him doesn't like drinking alone: him or his Beast?
Is he reminded of his own addiction or is his Beast annoyed this won't turn into the usual drinking session?
