It had been awhile since he had actually had more than the traditional Christmas spiked eggnog, so Jack was not really expecting to throw them back like a pro. The only time he had really gone into a drinking contest had been during pledge week his college freshman year. Sure, they had not legally been able to drink, but that never seemed to matter for frat houses.
No one who knew Jack would likely guess now that he had been a full fledged frat brother before, he just did not seem the type. Then again, he had not exactly been one their 'typical' members.
He thanked the bartender as he was handed his drink, taking out the lemon slice to pop it into his mouth for a second. Next he took the now juiceless lemon onto his napkin, and dropped the cherry from the glass in to counteract the pure sour. For a moment he silently chewed it and swallowed, sucking the spare mixed juice off his fingers. "So," he began, considering his words. "You never really did say where you were from?" Curiosity spiked his question as he took a slow drink from his cold glass.
