Then you're in the right place. You can probably just reach over and grab a bottle, I don't think the bartender will mind.

[It hasn't seemed to mind anyone else just taking bottles. Security and anti-theft measures don't appear to be a part of its programming. At least not currently. Nadine doubts that this guy would somehow be the one to trigger anything.]

And I actually don't know, I don't drink enough to have a favorite. I'm not anti-drinking or anything, I just worked at a really prestigious private elementary school that was very against its teachers being seen at bars or buying booze.

[It's an important distinction, and one she wants to make clear. She has nothing against alcohol or being drunk, there were just too many factors in her life that made indulging a bad idea. The school's morality clause was one of them.]

I miss a lot of things about my job, but I don't miss being expected to be 'a representative of New Hampshire's most premiere early education institute' at all times. Which it wasn't, by the way, New Hampshire had plenty of hoity toity private elementary schools.
