A half-full glass of beer is surrounded by small pale paper flowers.

There wasn't much to do. All the bowling alleys had been wrecked. So's I spent most of my time looking for beer.

— Strange Brew  ·  1983

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

The damaged bowling alleys leave fewer activities available, and the speaker describes searching for beer as the way he spent much of his time. The account gives an everyday personal response to a diminished setting. Most keeps it from being the only activity he reports.
