A man retires and moves to small village in Ireland. He finds the local pub and goes in every night. And he always orders three beers at the same time.
After a few weeks the publican says to him, "I can pour them fresh, separately each time and they will taste better."
The man says, "No, this is a family tradition. I have two brothers and whenever we drink, even if we're alone we drink together. And I guarantee you wherever they are tonight if they're drinking they're doing the same." The pulican says what a lovely tradition it is and things go on as usual for about 3 months.
One night the man walks in and orders only two beers. The word goes out to the village and though no one wants to ask the obvious question, anonymous flowers start arriving for him at the pub. The whole town appears to be in mourning, and the man finally asks what all the fuss is about.
The publican tells him, Well, we saw you're only ordering 2 beers now, and if you wouldn't consider it prying, can we ask which brother has passed away?"
The man replies, "Oh, that? Me brothers are both fine. But I've given up the drink."
