Drinking themselves into a watery grave

Breaking from its usual abstemious habits, AdFreak’s New York contingent ventured into a beer bar the other night (“Blog walks into a bar…”) and was confronted by an odd sight: people drinking large amounts of water in addition to their alcoholic beverages. Indeed, one table of robust-looking adults had the temerity to ask the harried waitress for an entire pitcher of water. Needless to say, this can only have reduced the amount of beer they drank.
