He took three shots a night - no more, no less
He switched from whisky to straight gin. The bum compensated for the scant volume.
Three shots tweaked his hatreds. Four shots and up cut those hatreds all the way loose.
Three shots said You project danger. Four shots or more said, You're ugly and you limp.
