A: "Do you drink much?"
B: "Depending on what you consider a lot."
A: "How frequently do you drink?"
B: "Couple times a week. How about you?"
A: "Only when I go out. I'm not a big drinker."
B: "How much can you drink?"
A: "I usually only have 2 beers."
B: "You're a light weight."
A: "How much can you drink?"
B: "I'm usually drinking all night long. At least 10 drinks."
A: "Don't you spend a lot of money then?"
B: "No. We usually go to places that have specials. Dante's over on the
Ave has $5.00 pitchers on Mondays. So for ten, fifteen bucks, I can get a lot
of drinks."
A: "That's true."
B: "If you don't like beer, have you tried mixed drinks? Some of them are
pretty good."
A: "I like beer, it's just that I get a headache when I drink more than
3."
B: "You just have to build up a tolerance. I used to be like that. But
your body gets used to it."
A: "It'll take awhile, but I'm working on it."
B: "Hey let's go out tomorrow night. The Ram Bar and Grill is having a
special on pitchers."
A: "Aright."
You should read the Conversation Dialog to help you study after going through
