I was wondering if I had anything that it was respectable to drink at this time in the afternoon

(as I sit here, looking wistfully out of the window, where absolutely everybody seems to be having fun except me)

The answer, of course, is Pastis!

If we lived in France, a Pastis at this time of day would almost be de rigueur.

(see what I did there, with that little bit of French)

I'm sure I can see France from here. Or maybe it's just where the horizon goes blurry.

Ooh, crikey, I've just noticed ... it's 45% ABV ... I thought it was about 20%.

Well, cheers, guys. Or ... Santé!

If it were 20% ABV, the horizon would be merely indistinct and not a complete blur.

Okay okay ... I meant "indistinct"

The French do top it up with water so I supoose it brings it down to the 20% mark... add some mint cordial it becomes a 'perroquet' or add some grenadine and it becomes a 'tomate'. Santé
