Why even have the maps with you when you’re going out drinking?

Edit: the reason he got hammered was because he was stuck in a six hour long military dinner event lol.

As for why he had the maps, despite us all reading the summary the same way, the “and” in “lost maps on train and got concussion after drinking” is actually being used to delineate two entirely unrelated events

    You might think you can keep up with eastern Europeans when it comes to liquor. You'd be wrong, though.

    I recall meeting a former business colleague who had returned to Poland. We went out to dinner. He brought his whole family. Dining en famille is a common thing there, very charming. Even the 90+-year-old granny was slamming down vodka at a rate that would have killed me. The old dear showed no signs of being worse for wear, and was very cordial through the whole evening.

    I knew better than to try matching them drink-for-drink. They were highly trained hepatic athletes.

    Never go head-to-head with a Slav when drinking vodka.

    Getting drunk in Eastern Europe is just acclimating to the culture, but the classified documents thing is just unforgivable.
