Cavan, on the other hand, couldnât help but shake his head as he smiled wryly. All humans had a limit to their alcohol tolerance, and he would definitely make Gerald drink till he exceeded his.
True to his word, his classmateâs family truly did own a winery. Cavan was certain that he would be able to completely ruin Gerald since his classmateâwhom he also considered to be his brotherâand his father were both extremely tolerant toward alcohol. In fact, after a check-up, their bodies apparently had access to a lot more alcohol breaking enzymes compared to regular people!
He had once seen his classmate drink seven whole bottles of extremely high alcohol percentage liquors, back to back, before finally reaching his limit.
Seven whole bottles of alcohol!
With that in mind, Cavan felt that Gerald would already be bleeding from his stomach long before his classmate even got too drunk.
Now that all of them were ready, the rules were simple. Each of the five participating peopleâinclusive of Gerald, Cavan, two other classmates, and Cavanâs winery friendâwould have to take turns downing cups of liquor, and every time their cups were filled, they had to finish every last drop in it before it could be refilled.
It wasnât long before both Gerald and Cavanâs friendâwhose family owned the wineryâmanaged to finish three whole bottles of liquor, each.
Cavan himself had already gone pale by then, and he bore quite a frightening expression on his face.
However, he was still conscious enough to know that he should still be fine for at least three more bottles of liquor.
At the same time, Juliet and the other girls were all getting increasingly scared with each glass the five men drank. They were definitely overdoing it!
Worried, Juliet turned to look at Gerald⦠However, to her surprise, he looked completely unfazed! It was almost as if he hadnât drunk any liquor at all!
âYou can really hold your liquor, Gerald! Iâm sure you can drink another three bottles, right?!â grumbled Cavan in both disbelief and surprise.
âWell of course I can! Still, remember that you three still have to drink together with us! Since this brother and I have already downed three bottles of liquor each, shouldnât you guys start picking up the pace as well?â replied Gerald with a smile on his face.
âAlright, then! Since Geraldâs willing to carry on drinking, then weâll continue drinking as well!â
As the other two classmates declared that, Cavan whispered to his good friend, âSay, Jarson, are you still able to hang onâ¦?â
âI⦠Iâm fineâ¦!â replied Jarsonâwho was the son of the wineryâs ownerâas he waved his hand dismissively.
Hearing that, Cavan nodded and the next round of drinking soon commenced.
Juliet could only watch in horror as the five of them continued downing more and more liquor.
While Jarson and Gerald were still drinking on par with each other, Cavan and the other two boys had considerably slowed down by this point. What more, as the other two continued downing cups of liquor in single gulps, the remaining trio found themselves drinking half-a-cup at a time.
As a result, in no time flat, Gerald and Jarson had each finished another three bottles of liquor!
Cavan and the other two, on the other hand, had only managed to drink another bottle and a half of liquor, each. While the two other classmates had passed out by this point, both Jarson and Cavan were still slightly conscious.
âYou drink rather well, Jarson. Care to have another three bottles of liquor with me?â asked Gerald as he looked at Jarsonâs sallow face. As he did so, he also took a peek at Cavan, whose face was now drained of all color.
âYou still want to continue drinking? Both you and Jarson have already drunk six bottles of liquor each!â
said Juliet, trying to talk some sense into them.
âDrink! Weâll⦠Weâll continue drinking! Jason! Drink I say-â
Before Cavan could even finish his sentence, he quickly wobbled toward the exit, clearly trying to hold himself back from vomiting in front of everyone.
Eventually managing to make his way to the washroom, Cavan instantly began vomiting as soon as he reached a toilet seat.
He wouldâve never have dreamt that Gerald was this capable of holding his liquor.
Due to him underestimating that, Cavanâs entire world was now spinning as his stomach ached like never before.
At some point, he even began vomiting blood! However, due to how drunk he already was, he didnât even register the implications of that.
After quite some time, Cavan could barely feel his legs as fumbled back to the private room. The moment he got to the door, however, he was greeted by the sound of screaming!
Concerned, Cavan immediately pushed the door open to see what was wrong.
To his dismay, the first thing he saw was Jarson sprawled on the ground! Blood and foam were spurting from his mouth and even the whites of his eyes were showing!
âC-call an ambulance! Hurry!â shouted Cavan as he stumbled over, his eyes wide in shock.
Not long after, the wailing of ambulance sirens approached the venue.
With the matter now dealt with, Juliet and Gerald returned to her car.
Now that they were alone, Juliet immediately turned to look at Geraldâwho was still looking as fine as everâbefore asking in amazement, âYou⦠Are you truly still doing alrightâ¦?â
âBut of course I am! Iâll let you in on a secret⦠Iâm actually naturally immune to alcohol! The only side effect of me drinking that much is a strong urge to use the washroom!â replied Gerald with a subtle smile on his face.
âHow could a man with such an honest-looking face be such a liar!â said Juliet as she couldnât help but glare at him.
At that moment, Julietâs phone suddenly began ringing.
Picking the call up, Gerald listened as she made several âhmmâ sounds before eventually hanging up, a worried expression now on her face.
ââ¦The call was from my mother whoâs just returned from abroad⦠It seems that sheâs somehow found out that I secretly got married without her knowledge!â
