Don't really need another drinking buddy, since I expanded my definition of "drinking buddy" to include not only those who actually go with you to have a drink but also those who merely give you sufficient reason to go.
Besides, drinking buddies always seem to use this complicated mathematical ritual for sharing costs that makes me have to pay more often than seems appropriate, and they usually have more expensive tastes.
I'm better off quaffing a brew from my own stash, which by odd coincidence I keep within arm's reach.
