He’s stopped drinking beer
A man always went to the same bar at noun and he always ordered two glasses of beer, before he started to drink, he lifted up both glasses and said, “Cheers. Cheers he always said “Cheers “ twice. He then drank from one glass and the other. One day the bartender asked him, “Why do you always order your beer in two separate glasses?”
“Oh “the man answered, “My friend and I always drank together. He has now moved to another town, before he left, we promised to continue drinking together.”
A few days later the man ordered only one glass of beer,” What happened to your friend? Asked the bartender “ Nothing. He’s all right. But I’ve stopped drinking, so I’m drinking his beer for him”.
