Every night a guy went down to the pub and ordered three pints. He silently sat there finishing one after the other. Several weeks went by and the Bartender finally asked why he doesn't just buy them one at a time. The man said, "My two brothers left for America and I am just sitting here having a drink with them." It helps me feel close to them while they are so far from home.
Satisfied with the answer the Bartender leaves him be. Several months pass and then one night the man orders just two beers. The bartender fears something terrible has befallen one of the man's brothers and finally gets the nerve to ask him what happened.
The man replied that nothing terrible had happened to either of his brothers. Relieved the bartender asks why then are you only buying two beers. He replied, "I quit drinking!"
