"I feel so dizzy" , the narrator tells us. He's just had a bad night of drinking. He doesn't remember what he did the night before, and he's so drunk that he almost vomited. The narrator asks the old man if he remembers anything. The old man says he does, and the narrator asks him if he took a sip of wine the day before. He coughs and coughs, and then asks if he has forgotten anything at all. The older man says that he does remember something, but that he'd rather not drink any more alcohol, because his alcohol tolerance has gotten so bad that he can't drink anymore.
