Alcohol

"Is the wine included?" "Oh, yes" "Well, I said. "Its all right." I thought this bit of dialogue fit perfectly well with the story. My thought so far of this story was that Hemingway emphasizedthe importance of alcohol. This bit of dialogue provesjust how important it was. I think it's crazy how much money they are willinmg to spend on drinks. I guess however that it makes sense within the context of the novel because (as we learned in Spanish class) that Europeans see alcohol as a social drink- and not as a party drink (like americans see it). Although there are several moments withing the story in which characters get drunk- or "tight" they dont act riddiculous as Americans tend to do when they abuse alcohol.
