N: So, what is your new year's resolution?
A: (with much gusto) Total alcohol abstinence!
N & D: Total??? Really??? For how long?
A: Why, a year!
N & D: HAHAHA!
[Pensive pause]
N: Why don't you open your present now.
[A opens present to reveal a bottle of authentic hand-made ouzo and two little porcelain shotties]
D: Facepalm! Good luck with your resolution!
A: Alright, alright, maybe not total abstinence... And maybe not for a year...
N: You might want to try a week of non-accidental abstinence and let me know how you go, before you even attempt it for a month! But a year? Pffft!
A: That's great guys, doubt me more and I'll try even harder to prove you wrong.
N & D: We know you too well, sweetie.

Take care.
