Will:  I don't drink, but if I did, I would raise you a pint to that.  The
next time we cross paths, you can pick your poison and I'll have (how
daring) a ginger ale, and we'll do it then.

With all the comments people made about this, it's kind of nice to see that
we're not a bunch of ghouls and vultures.  We aren't, are we?  (We've been
awaiting Hapworth with saintly patience, so I think it's safe to say we are
not.)
