Easy Does It!

AFTER being in AA three years I met an inebriated friend who offered me a drink. When I politely refused he immediately came back with, "Can't take it, eh?" I in turn replied, "If you can tell me of one good thing that drink will do for me, I'll have that drink and then you and I will continue drinking until the fifty dollars in my pocket is gone." He looked at me for a moment, then a sheepish look came over his face and with a "so long pal" he turned and made his unsteady way down the street. Easy does it.
