“drink less whiskey?”
…of course that’s a typo; you must have meant “more.”

I think what you really meant to say was “spend less time with Adam who makes me drink too much whiskey which then makes me throw-uppy and headachey and moany to poor Andrea who has to put up with my nonsense”
You can just cut+paste that in, I don’t mind the plagiarism.

Andrea’s comment is an affront to man’s free will, each man’s choice is his own; I could never *make* Tim do anything.
On the other hand, I don’t believe that the same freedom holds true for girls. Girls–I think–dance on puppet strings controlled by the Devil.

Andrea: I don’t think it’s Adam, it could just be genetics on my part…sorry you have to put up with my nonsense..
Adam: Your cat’s a nutcase. She destroyed one of my hands when I tried to pet her last night. I will bring welding gloves tonight…

I was using Tim’s definition of “make”, which is that anything paid for by someone else must be consumed. So, if you buy it for him, it’s the equivalent of *making* him consume it. He is apparently only able to make consumption decisions simultaneous to purchase decisions. After that point, you’re pretty much pouring it down his throat.
I’ll just pretend your weird puppet strings comment isn’t there.

That definition makes sense to me. For example, after I “make” love I have to pay (cash) for it.
