An Irishman walks into a pub in Dublin. He orders 3 pints of beer. He slowly drinks them one by one. The next day he comes in & does the same thing. After several days, the bartender says, ""You know, if you order them one at a time, they won't go flat and they'll stay cold."" The guy says, ""You see, I have 2 brothers, and we were very close. We've had to go our separate ways over the years and now live in different parts of the world. We promised each other every time we had a pint, we'd have one for each of the others."" So the guy does the same thing for many days in a row. One day he comes in & only orders 2 pints. The bartender says, ""Oh no, I'm so sorry. Something happened to one of your brothers, hasn't it? Which one was it? I feel so horrible for you and your family."" etc., etc. The guy says, ""No, it's nothing like that. It just that I gave up drinking.""
