More "green"

John was feeling adventurous tonight. Foolishly adventurous. A good part of his common sense was still reeling from being dumped by that ungrateful bitch. After a bad day of work (still not concentrating), he found himself in a bar he never noticed before.

"What is it with women!", he complained to the barkeep. "Suck your wallet dry, give 'em food and shelter, then they kick ya down!" He sloshed his beer around. "They get all the .. they .. they just get it all!"

Bob, the barkeeper, eyed John warily. Then, his right eyebrow went up with a gleam in his eye. "I got somethin' for ya. Mebbe it'll do y'somethin'." He reached up to a high shelf and brought down a bottle with a clear green liquid inside. "Uh.. left over from yesterday. St. Patrick's, y'know?"

"Fine, fine," John said, and downed the rest of his beer. He let the barkeep fill up his mug and then peered at it while Bob put the empty bottle away. "So.. green."

"Yep." Bob said. "You don't want it, let me know," and he went to go tend to his other patrons.

John took a small sip. Is this beer? He couldn't tell. Then he drank some more and felt kind of tingly when he reached bottom. It wasn't too bad, he thought, but geez, I'm tired. He left the money on the counter for the drink and walked home, his mind still replaying yesterday's break up.

The next morning, he had grown to a 36C.
