'Drank alcohol?'

The mobile phone bill - everything else always works automatically online, but that one is fucked somehow.
2. What's the best place to eat a romantic dinner?
Outside somewhere.
3. Last time you puked from drinking?
December.

I got drunk, danced and lay on a bar last Friday. That count?
