The video reminded me of something I always wanted to do at a party someday when an inebriated person might pester me to take a drink. (It hasn't happened in the decades since I quit). It was going to go like this.
Other - "Here, I even had the host fix it for you. You said Chevas heavy on the rocks was what you used to drink."
Me - Wellll? I've said over and over I don't want it, though.
Other - Come on. Here. I know you'll like it.
Me - Ok, but I'm sure it's not going to work. Help me a bit here. Let me put my arm on your shoulder just in case.
Other - What? Oh, Ok.
Me - Here goes.
And I bring the tinkling glass up to my mouth and then at the last second I move it over a little and pour a bit down my cheek and the rest over onto the other's clothing.
Me - Ohhhh, sh*t!! See, I told you it wasn't going to work.
