the boys on the tram

I would like to ask the boys on the tram who sat around me yesterday evening whether the mixture of coke and vodka they shaked in the plastic bottle tasted good. Or whether they preferred the liquids of one of the other bottles - beer, wine, plain vodka. I would like to ask them why they left the empty vodka glass bottle on the seat of the tram when they arrived at destination, why they did not use it to show off proving that they had already emptied it at 6pm and still could arrive safe at the party.

And I would like to ask them whether they appreciate that no German law prohibits them to drink and mix alcoholic drinks on a tram. All my American and Canadian friends are so happy about it when they first arrive, but they generally miss such law when they have to walk somewhere or take a bus, tram, train in the early morning of a Saturday or a Sunday.
