Trifextra: Drink Up!

The folks over at Trifecta  have given us another fun weekend challenge. "Describe something that is three different things at the same time.  Oh, and do it in 33 words."   Here is my take on the prompt.  
Cheers! 

 "Another round, Bartender!" Liquid courage.
"Keep 'em coming," sobbed, slurring into melting, soggy cubes. Damned Late-night heartache!
Blinding, brain-splitting headache. "What was I thinking?" Need a little hair of the dog!

    This a novel take on the prompt. The three things that a cocktail does! A very true and very good portrayal.

    Great response! Goodness knows I've been there and done that. (And I'm sure many of us have!) Haven't had time for my booze this weekend yet, so I think tonight is the night, after I get my nap in. :) Oh, but I'll make sure I stop at one drink.

      Thanks, Sandra!
      The cocktail can be a best friend and worst enemy, can't it? Hope you enjoy your drink tonight. I know you've earned it!

    Oh yeah! Been there, too. And you said it perfectly with your post but in the comments, too. "The cocktail can be a best friend and worst enemy". So very spot on here! GREAT job!
