I was ill recently. I have to stick to a diet.
I can not promise. Maybe ..
Oh, no .. All the best! Congratulations!
My God, my friends again organize a feast..
On what occasion?
I do not really understand.
Some mavis was promoted to soloist, as I understand it ..
For them the slightest reason enough to get drunk!
What did he say?
"We arrange a merry drinking party!"
You decided to go to them?
I do not know what to do.
You are abstainer. But they can force a drink.
But if I'm not going to them, they will be offended.
I'll have to go ..
I'll be drinking is not for real.
It will be soft. Citro, seltzer, mineral water.
No ... You do not protect your health.
You have received a new title?
Not yet. But very soon.
I am in the choir for 30 years!

My friends! I beg to fill!
First we will raise a toast to our singer!
Be happy, dear Thrush!

By the way, being in the chorus, he sings worse than all!
I think you will be able to drink 100 grams of raspberry liqueur!
apple drink
Tamada, pay attention!
It poured a glass of water!
Anyone who respects us, must drink with us!
I did never drink alcohol.
Oh, no. You are can not fool us!
Pour him a "penalty" a glass!
Penalty! Penalty! Penalty!

He can not even drink even one glass!

Good buddies, friends ..
And I ... drunk as a pig
Do you... respect me or... not?
We're are familiar for many years!
Pour, drink more, I swear!

You are tilted your head
down to the ground ..
My God, how drunk you are!
Where are you going?
I hurry home!
But your home in the other side.
You didn't tell me!
After all, we want to help you!
You're drunk!
Who's drunk? I am?
You are idiot! I am more sober than you!
When will it stop drunkenness?
Oh how badly when the bird make a row!
There have been days of fun, then I was walking fine!
I am did not know of the anguish-sorrow ..
I was a free slashing fellow!
What a shame .. as if I didn't have enough problems to worry about..
I kept struggling ..
But all the same I was forced to ..
Being drunk, you're wandering through the woods all night.
You awakened one, you have offended others.
You are ruined someone else's nest!
We must condemn the sparrow for his drunkenness!
He can not drink!
In addition, there is a rumor that he left his family!
It is not true! It's a lie!
I live in the family, I do not drink alcohol!
I confirm this.
- He go to seed ... - What a shame!
So far, he pretended to be honest.
I can confirm the fact that my husband abstainer.
He lives in harmony with me.
It is clear, as if.
We will come to a unanimous decision.
Sparrow should be morally condemned.
But I would at the same time brought to justice those who started this booze!
Such people who forced to drink alcohol!
There is nothing wrong to have a drink and have fun.
However, there are fans not to drink, but to get drunk!
Moreover, they accustom to drinking the other!
That's the real trouble!
