Definition: The
act or instance of drinking or tippling together
The moon stood high
and proud over the cloudless night sky.
It shone brilliantly off the hood of a brown tracker making its way down
a noisy street. Earl and Carl pushed the
old tracker through the faster moving traffic amid honks and shouts of
passersby. The men simply waved and
moved along, occasionally turning the steering wheel to move aside and let
angry motorist squeeze by.
A tow truck or two
came by to offer their assistance but the men waved them on. Finally, they turned down a more rural street
and started moving toward the outskirts of town. A flashing light followed them around a
bend. The men pushed the tracker to the
side and sat panting as they waited for the officer.
"You boys need
a tow?" the officer asked.
"No sir, the
tracker runs fine," Earl said.
"Then why don't
you boys drive it home?"
"No sir. Carl here's been drinking and he can't drive
even when he's sober."
"And
you?", the officer asked.
"Are you
kidding? I'm drunker than Carl!"
