The music was loud and upbeat, the basses' vibrations flowing through the air as random feet tapped on the floor. The bar was packed, yelling, laughing, and singing echoing throughout it, and everyone around the table raised their shot.

"Happy birthday man!" Tom yelled over the music, holding his shot glass up along with the rest and smiling towards Brian.

"Happy birthday big brother!" Beth added. They all cheered, then downed yet another shot, the burning liquid sliding down their throats and increasing their intoxicated state.

It was Brian's thirtieth birthday, quite the occasion, and a lot of friends came to celebrate with him. They talked and laughed, cheered, danced, and above all, they drank. As the night went on things slowly started dying down and people left until they were only five.

"You guys wanna move the party to our place?" Jimmy asked when they were down to only five. It was him, Tom, Kelly, Tom's girlfriend, Brian of course, and his younger sister Beth.
