Damon took a deep breath and decided to do something to make Carlos happy.
“Bro, we’re going to be drinking to our hearts’ content tonight.
Okay?” After saying that, he emptied the contents of the glass rapidly and told Curtis, “Hey! This is good liquor! Curtis, pouranother glass, please!”
Carlos finally opened his eyes. He Looked at the two bottles of liquor in front of Curtis, and hinted to Damon with his eyes.
After shifting his eyes back and forth between Carlos and the bottles of liquor, Damon understood what he was trying to say.

Carlos and Damon grabbed a bottle respectively and started chugging away. The other three tried to stop them, but they didn’t know what to say. After all, this was Carlos’ private affair
The two of them finished three bottles of liquor each. Before long,
Damon succumbed to the effects of alcohol and dozed off on the sofa.
However, Carlos wasn’t going to stop there. He reached out to grab the fourth bottle, but Curtis stopped him.
“Carlos, you are still taking your medication. How about we call it a day?”
Carlos shook his hand off and continued drinking without a care in the world.
In a desperate act to save his friend, Wesley took the bottle away from
Carlos and chugged it all down. His eyes turned red as he burped, and he then wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.
“We’ve run out of liquor now. Letsend you home.”
As if he didn’t hear Wesley, Carlos pointed to the wine bottles in the wine cabinet.
“We have wine.”

Niles offered, “How about we call Stephanie? We can’t let him drink like this. But he won’t listen to us. Maybe he’ll listen to Stephanie.”
Carlos cast a warning glance at him, so cold it could freeze hell over within minutes.
Niles trembled when he saw Carlos’ murderous eyes and he decided to shut his mouth.
Curtis shook his head in disappointment. ‘Niles is such an idiot. He doesn’t have the slightest clue about what Carlos needs right now.
Alas! They all have to count on me.’
He turned to look at Niles and casually said, “I wonder if Debbie is asleep right now.”
Niles’ Look of concern slowly melted away to be replaced by a somewhat puzzled look. ‘What does he mean by that? Why did he mention Debbie all of a sudden?’ He shook his head at Curtis and said, “I don’t know. Why are you asking me?”
