Varied indeed are attitudes surrounding the impending application of the Power of Positive Drinking.
Depicted at left, you'll see aspiring adept Ania, brimming with enthusiasm at the prospect of an evening fuelled by that magical elixir we devotees of The Power know to be the wellspring of all things good in the world.
Demonstrating a practiced nonchalance, she views the night's trivial details (such as recalling her home address) with the cavalier consideration she feels they merit... instead, focusing on the serious business at hand.
Conversely, Fernando, a seasoned veteran, views the occasion with some trepidation -- understanding from experience that misapplication of The Power may ultimately lead to what is known as 'The Power Nap' (typically undertaken upon the countertops of one's closest companions).
Finally at right, we see Gemma, who approaches the upcoming event with the solemnity it so rightly deserves. Exhibiting characteristic steely determination, she remembers that with great Power comes great responsibility (as she is responsible for actually remembering to take her jacket home this evening).
Still, as one of the primary "Precepts of The Power" instructs us, "anticipation, absent fulfillment, is Power denied"; and with this in mind, no further delay is permitted by these acolytes of alcohol (or Alcolytes as they are known by their fellow initiates).
However, this is merely the first salvo fired in the day's battle against the tyranny of the liver, as we commence celebrations of Ania's ascension to fully-fledged Alcolyte, with all the honour and prestige commensurate with that lofty station.
More to follow...
