Once upon a time, there was a man named Thomas

Thomas loved going out with his friends. Every time they went out, there was alcohol around.

Thomas did not drink, but one day, he decided to try a beer. From that day on, he drank 5 beers a day. Little did he know, his body would not like it.

At at blood concentration of .05 percent, Thomas felt confident enough to drive, but his friends observed he had a flushed face and did not let him drive home. Instead, they gave him a ride.

At a blood concentration of .1 percent, Thomas experienced reduced self control and became irritable. His friends had it when he threw his shoe across the dance floor and decided it was time to go home.

Thomas' friends decided to give him another chance and went out. Again, Thomas had too much to drink and had a blood alcohol level of .2 percent. All of the sudden, Thomas disappeared and was later found sleeping in the bushes outside. His friends decided to call him a taxi and send him home.

Thomas' friends thought maybe something was bothering Thomas and that was why he was drinking so much. They decided to take him out and try to talk to him about his uncontrollable drinking. After some drinks, Thomas was unable to respond to questions and was saying absurd things.
