action

Four young people are sitting in the cinema and want to see the film The Danube is burning . When the advertisement on the screen warns against the consumption of alcohol by young people, one of the girls says that she is already very thirsty. Since the others are not feeling better, they visit a restaurant right after the cinema, in which a poster about the dangers of alcohol for young people is being hung on the wall by the host. Despite this advice, he does not feel in a position to sell the four young people soda or seltzer, so they change restaurants because they do not want the beer on offer.

There are also no non-alcoholic drinks in the next restaurant and the waiter answers the question about tap water with the counter-question how he should calculate it. So the four of them look for a third restaurant.

But here, too, no soda or cider, just beer and cognac and thirst they should forget. Now, in their anger, the young people order four double cognacs, whereupon the waitress asks whether she should bring them with or without seltzer.
