An Australian walks into a bar in Dublin, orders three pints of Crown 
Lager and sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one 
in turn.  When he finished all three, he comes back to the  bar and 
orders three more.

The bartender says to him, "You know, a pint goes flat after I draw it;  
It would taste better if you bought one at a  time."

The Australian replies, "Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in 
New York and the other back in Sydney.  When we all left home, we 
promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days we all drank 
together until we pass away."

The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there.  
The Australian becomes a regular in the bar and always drinks the same 
way: he orders three pints and drinks the three pints by taking drinks 
from each of them in turn.

One day, he comes in and orders two pints.  All the other regulars' in 
the bar notice and fall silent.  When he comes back to the bar for the 
second round, the bartender says,  "I don't want to intrude on your 
grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your great  loss."

The Australian looks confused for a moment, then the light dawns in his 
eye and he laughs. "Oh, no," he says, "Everyone is fine . It's 
me......I've quit drinking!"
