And that’s why you always ask for a full glass instead.

You pick up the glass and lift it to your lips. It feels strangely heavy. You realise it is a solid lump of glass that merely resembles a drinking vessel.

The waiter laughs good naturedly and gives you your real drink.

I suppose this bar might be called Djinn and Tonic.

There's way more energy on that baseball than on the half-empty glass.
