Drink Up

[Canary42]

An elderly man goes to the bar on a cruise ship and asks for a Scotch
with two drops of water.

He says: “I’m on this cruise to celebrate my 80th birthday and it’s today!”

“Congratulations!” says the barman. “This one’s on me.”

As he finishes his drink, the woman to his right says, “I’d like to buy you a drink too.”
“Thank you, ” says the man, “I’ll have another Scotch with two drops of water”.

When he finishes it, the man to his left says, “I’d like to buy you a birthday drink too”.
So the man orders yet another Scotch with two drops of water. As the barman gives him the drink he asks, “I’m so curious. Why the Scotch with only two drops of water?

The 80 year-old man replies, “Sonny, when you’re my age, you’ve learned how to hold your liquor. Holding your water, however, is another matter altogether!”
