A Great Drink

Situation: At a party. Greg is acting quite drunk. Maria is not.

W: Hey Greg. How's it going?

M: Hey, Maria. I'm great! Isn't this party awesome?

W: Yeah, it's not bad. You seem to be having a great time!

M: Oh yeah, I'm having a blast! I was just chasing the chickens around the garden! It was great!

W: You what? The chickens?

M: Oh yeah, I felt like doing something crazy. Before that I played beer pong with Charlie -- he kicked my ass. But it was great fun.

W: Oh, so you're drinking tonight?

M: Yeah, I managed to score this bottle of wine -- took it from my parent's alcohol stash!

W: You're drinking wine? Wow! I love wine too, although I prefer red wine.

M: Mmm, well, this white wine is good stuff too! So fruity! So gooood!

W: You've drunk a lot already, huh?

M: Yeah, it's absolutely delicious! I don't know what it is exactly, though, because the label is all in French. But it IS good stuff. And strong! I am really feeling it!

W: Hmm, I think I've had this drink before, actually.

M: You have? I've never heard of it before! Where did you have it?

W: At my little sister's 7th birthday party. This isn't wine, Greg … it's apple juice!

M: Ugh … what??
