Hello Mike! Would you like a drink?
No, thank you. I had too much to drink yesterday evening. I had a bad hangover this morning. My head felt terrible.
Were you celebrating something?
Yes. It was a friend's birthday party. We drank all kinds of things-beer, wine and spirits. After midnight , we were even drinking cocktails!
It's a bad idea to drink a combination of alcoholic drinks. You should stick with one for the whole evening.
I know, but it was a celebration, you kwon? I don't think I've see you drunk.
I usually only drink beer and I rarely drink more than a few pints.
You are a sensible drinker. Anyway, I'm not going to drink any alcohol this evening. I don't' want another bad hangover.
Let me buy you a soft drink then. How about a coke?
Yeah. That's a good idea. I heard that coke was first used as a medicine.
Rally? . . . barman! . . . a large coke with ice and lemon, please... thanks. Here's the money.
Are you going to the wine tasting tomorrow?
Yes. I thought it might be interesting to learn a little about wine...
... and taste a few! There will be wines from several countries and an expert to give advice on which wines are good and which ones are not.
