He took it very well, actually. And I never ever slipped him a substitute
again. Even told him that now that I'd made my point that there was no need
to repeat it. If I saw him hit the door, I'd draw two and have them ready.
That was enough to keep his tipping streak alive. Yeah, that, and when he
was down to 1/4th of a beer, have another ready. And if he said he didn't
want another, I'd just say, well, then don't pay for something you don't
want, and he'd drink it or part, or I'd dump it.
