Luke and Michael worried that they were running out of lemonade this afternoon.

In the kitchen, Michael asked Luke how much lemonade they had left. After initially replying that he could see “zero” bottles, Luke later discovered that they had two bottles left.

“Here’s the situation,” Luke explained. “We have two bottles of lemonade to last five days. We’ve drunk five bottles already.”

Michael argued that the housemates had bought too much alcohol and not enough lemonade on the shopping list. “Everything’s ruled by the alkies in here,” he complained. The pair also noted that the lemonade had been used to make wine spritzers.

Luke advised him to double the amount of lemonade in next week’s budget, and they talked about the price of the fizzy drink compared to alcohol. Michael noted that this week the group had spent £26 on alcohol compared to just £4 on lemonade.

Michael thought about what he could drink instead, and asked: “Is there any juice?”

“Yeah, but the majority of that’s gone too,” Luke sighed.
