Drinking with the Brothers

An Irish man went to a pub and asked for 4 pints of beer. The bartender recommended that the Irish man get the pints one at a time so that he could enjoy each one before it gets hot. The  Irish man said he wanted all four at a time to remind him when  his three brothers used to drink with him before they moved to America.
This continued everyday and the bartender learned a lot about the Irishman and his three brothers, the man ordering 4 pints at each sitting.
One day the Irish man walks into the pub and only orders 3 pints. The bartender goes up to the man and says, “I’m really sorry about your loss. I know how much you loved your brothers.
The Irish man told him not to worry, his brothers were fine, “I just gave up drinking.”
