When the man came to pub the next time and ordered two beers again,the bartender asked him:"I would like to offercondolences to you,due to the death of your dear brother".The man considered this for a moment and then replied:"Oh,you are probably surprised that I order only two beers now?Well,my two brothers are alive and well.It‘s just because of my decision.I promised myself to give up drinking."
