The drink is the color of strawberry Kool-Aid.
 “What is it?” I take a sip 1. It tastes like 7-Up.
 Mia smiles an evil little smile. “It’s something I invented. You want to get smashed, this is the express train.”
 “Oh. Well, thank you.” I toast her, and drink up. A sensation of heat and total well-being 2 floods me. “Heavens. Mia, you ought to patent this. You could have little lemonade stands all over Chicago and sell it in Dixie cups. You’d be a millionaire.”
 “Another?”
 “Sure.”
 As a promising 3 junior partner in DeTamble & DeTamble, Alcoholics 4 at Large, I have not yet found the outer limit in my ability to consume liquor. A few drinks later, Mia is peering at me across the bar with concern.
 “Henry?”
 “Yeah?”
 “I’m cutting you off.” This is probably a good idea. I try to nod my agreement with Mia, but it’s too much effort. Instead, I slide slowly, almost gracefully 5, to the floor.
 I wake up much later at Mercy Hospital. Mia is sitting next to my bed. Her mascara has run all over her face. I’m hooked up to an IV and I feel bad. Very bad. In fact, every kind of bad. I turn my head and retch into a basin. Mia reaches over and wipes my mouth.
 “Henry—” Mia is whispering.
 “Hey. What the hell.”
 “Henry, I’m so sorry—”
 “Not your fault. What happened?”
 “You passed out and I did the math—how much do you weigh?”
 “175.”
 “Jesus. Did you eat dinner?”
