Sal lost track of how many beers they’d had at around four or five. The barmaids quickly cleared any empty bottles from their table so she couldn’t even estimate how many she’d had. Elizabeth had switched to paying for the drinks using the card so Sal thought they’d probably spent all the cash.
Sal knew she was well and truly drunk. Elizabeth had knocked back just as many but seemed to be in a much better state.
“Won’t the others be worrying about us?” Sal asked.
“Nah. Teeko is quite happy to spend large chunks of his day sleeping in the bath, and as for Ali and Jess… I think we both know what they’ll be getting up to with the ship to themselves.”
Sal grinned.
“Seriously though,” she said. “I don’t think I can drink much more and still make it back to the ship.”
Elizabeth laughe
