"Are you two going to the party tonight?" Herc asked.
"Of course!" said Alex.
"And you, mon ami?" Laf asked John.
"Yes. I'm going." John said distinctly.
"That was easier than I expected." laughed Herc.
"See you later! Salut!" said Laf.

Later that night, Alex and John walked into Thomas Jefferson's dorm for the party. They saw Herc, Laf, Eliza, and Angelica across the room, so they walked over.
"You came?" Angelica asked John.
"Come on, Angie! Can't you be nice once?" Eliza asked.
"I guess."
"Who wants a drink?" Laf asked.
Everyone said "yes", even John.
"John? You are going to drink?" asked Eliza.
" 'Can't you be nice once?' " Angelica said mocking her sister.
"Haha! Very funny!" John said.
Laf and Herc came back with their beers. Everyone took a sip. Everyone liked it, but John loved it. He chugged the rest down.
"Jesus, slow down!" Alex screamed.
"This is so good!" John exclaimed. "What else do they have?"
"I'll go check." Herc said while going to get more drinks. He came back with bottles upon bottles and glasses upon glasses.
John tried everything within 10 minutes of being there and was already drunk.
"And there goes one! I'm assuming Alex will be next." Angelica said.
"Well, I mean, she's not wrong!" Alex said. And within 15 more minutes he was drunk along with Eliza. Laf and Herc disappeared somewhere, so it was now just John, Alex, and the Schuyler Sisters.
"Why haven't I tried this sooner?" Alex said while downing his 10th glass of beer.
"This is actually pretty good, Babe." Eliza said. She wasn't too drunk, but she was drunk.
"I think I've had enough." Angelica said.
"Come on, Angie! Just one more."
"No, I'm done! I don't want to end up like John!"
John was already passed out on the couch, and it had only been 45 minutes.
"He had fun though!" said Alex.
"I'm having fun!" Angelica said
"Whatever you say!" Alex said. "Come on, Baby. Let's dance!"
"Bye Angie!" Eliza screamed as Alex pulled her through the crowd.

The next morning, John woke up in his bed. What happened? he thought. All he remembered was he wanted to drink away his pain. That wasn't such a good idea, he threw up at least 15 times and now suffered from a terrible migraine.
"Hey, Jackie. You're finally up!" Alex said.
"What time is it?" John asked. He couldn't open his eyes.
"12pm."
"Really?"
"Yeah, you kind of had a rough night."
"I know." John said while sitting up. "It was intentional." He muttered the last part.
"You remember last night? You were really drunk!"
"Well I remember that I drank more than I should of."
"Yeah, how?"
"My head hurts, and I can't see straight."
"Yup, that's a hangover!"
"I don't like it!" I wanted to drink the pain away from yesterday! Not feel it today!
"Well, at least you aren't throwing up anymore!"
"I threw up?"
"Yeah like 20 times!"
"Oh god!"
"Yeah, you threw up on me while I carried you back. I may have been drunk, but I can at least function."
They both laughed. For a moment, John forgot why he drank so much. But then someone knocked at the door.
