"BIER AUF WEIN, DAS LASS SEIN - WEIN AUF BIER, DAS RAT' ICH DIR!"

"Beer on wine, leave it alone. Wine on beer, I advise you"

a popular saying in Germany which actually rhymes in German when it's said in the right order, making it easy to remember which order of drinking alcohol is better for your body.
It's a misconception though since there's no actual science to back it up.
But German people love to say and believe it anyways.

"I swear that way we'll still be here tomorrow", Tim murmurs, annoyed as you examine the beach bar, where mostly male tourists romp about and wait for drinks. "Yeah but if we now walk somewhere else it's stupid too", Bene argues and Jacob observes the situation thoughtfully. You notice that one of the bartenders seems to be male and your age and you shrug your shoulders. "You know what, let me handle it.", You say to the group, "What do you wanna drink?" "Huh, no, you don't have to go and get the drinks now, too", Tim replies to you and Bene smiles in amusement. "No worries it's fine" you assure them, "I'll do it"

"Ok then I'll just have a Vodka Bull", Bene begins and Tim crosses his arms thoughtfully as he looks at the bar again, "I'll have a sex on the beach" You turn to Jacob and he smirks when he looks at you "Gin Tonic". You nod attentively. "Ok men, wish me luck," you reply and then walk towards the bar. You hear Bene laughing. "Good luck", Jacob calls out after you, amused, and you turn around to them again and grin confidently at them, "If I'm not back here in five minutes with four drinks, we'll go somewhere else." "I'm curious about that", Bene smiles. "Deal", replies Tim.

And thanks to the confident demeanor and friendly smile on your part, you actually come back to the guys triumphantly with four cups within a very short time, who come towards you quite relieved, taking the drinks. "Being a woman must be nice", Bene comments, amused, and Jacob shakes his head with a grin. You just shrug your shoulders innocently as you walk a few steps away from the bar. "So guys, to an awesome vacation", Jacob lifts his plastic cup and you imitate him when you grin and clink glasses with them. "To an awesome vacation!", Bene cheers and you all drink to begin with. 

You let the taste of the ice-cold wine spritzer melt on your tongue and sigh happily when you realize again that you are standing on the beach, feeling sand under your sneakers and having three good-looking idiots around you who are in a celebratory mood. And that after you spent all your evenings alone at home on the couch until recently.

In other words;

you are incredibly happy you agreed to come on this trip.


"How much did you pay by the way, Y/N ?!", Tim asks you and you shrug your shoulders as the boys scrutinize you. "Doesn't matter. This round's on me" "No, stop now", Tim says with a guilty conscience but Bene smiles big "Wicked!" When he holds his cup up to you to toast, "I'll pay for the next round". Tim just smiles when he gives in, shaking his head and toasting you too, "How cute are you, man". You giggle sheepishly at Tim's compliment as you drink together. "Oh come on" you add, "That's the least I can do, for completely busting your men's vacation" Tim laughs and shortly afterwards you feel Jacob's arm wandering around your shoulder, at which you feel the heat rising in you and preferably take a sip of your cold wine spritzer.

You don't notice the subtle exchange of looks between the boys until Bene makes an amused comment "Okay, who's gonna tell her?!" and suddenly all three of them laugh. You look around questioningly and when you understand that everyone is looking at Jacob, you turn around in his arm and look at him confused. But Jacob just smiles, embarrassed, and avoids your gaze, at which Bene and Tim laugh even more. "It would never have been a men's vacation anyway", Tim explains with a smile as he observes the situation and Jacob rather takes another sip of his gin tonic instead of saying anything about it. "What the fuck, Jacob?", You laugh and literally stand in front of his face so that he stops avoiding you and he laughs defeated when he starts to explain. "Okay fine.", He gives in and sighs when he faces you, "Actually, I would have gone alone with you." He looks at you honestly and then points at Bene and Tim with his drink, "But it's because of these two that the four of us hang around here now."

"Bullshit!", Bene calls out immediately and Tim makes a mocking noise. "Look at him, talking his way out!", the curly haired laughs heartily. "What is it?!", Jacob defends himself in their direction, "You both wanted to tag along so bad!" "Yeah, because you suggested it, Dude", Tim laughs, "don't pretend it was all our idea". You just stand in the middle, puzzled, and actually find it rather funny how they argue and brotherly fight among each other.

"Okay, If I'm allowed to say something", you finally shout out and push Jacob and Tim apart in amusement, who pretend they are threatening each other and then stop pretty quickly and turn their attention to you, "I don't know who went with whom and who asked whom first and I don't really give a shit either. The only thing that matters to me right now is that I'm standing on some beach here in Croatia with a wine spritzer in my hand and that's thanks to you so ... ", you raise your cup, "Cheers, I would say" Jacob just looks at you a bit speechless, while the other two start to grin and also raise their cups "What she says!", Bene shouts, "Cheers!" "Cheers, peoplee",  Tim murmurs and you all drink together again. "That was a speech", Jacob comments, amused, when he presses his cup against yours and you laugh sheepishly when you look up at him, "Don't ask me where that came from all of a sudden"

"What? How can they close at eleven", Bene notes confused when after an hour you suddenly stand in front of the locked little hut, "What is that?" For the last hour you held your own little party somewhere in a lonely spot on the beach with a few more cocktails from the beach bar. That same beach bar, which is now suddenly deserted, now that you wanted to go there together one more time. "Well Bro, it's Thursday", Jacob adds thoughtfully and checks his cell phone. "Yeah but still.", Bene argues with little enthusiasm, "We're on vacation dude" He turns with a pout in your direction "I wanted to drink" "Aaaw", you grin sympathetically and want to pat his hair, but Benes reaction time is suddenly damn fast again when it comes to his hair and he grabs your wrist defensively. You laugh and wrestle a little drunk with the curly haired, while Tim watches you with amusement and finally breaks you apart "Now chill out you hooligans"

"Down the street there's a shop that's still open" you hear Jacob say who's looking at Google Maps, "Maybe there's something to drink" Jacob immediately has Benes full attention and Benes eyes literally light up like those of a child on Christmas. "Okay Jacob, I love you", he purrs brotherly and puts his arm around his shoulders, "You take us there right now.", He says determined, "Everybody follow Jacob."

"Do you think they're all closing so early cause of Corona?" You ask thoughtfully to the group as you follow the female Google Maps voice from Jacob's iPhone and Tim shrugs his shoulders. "It might actually be." "But I don't get it", Jacob murmurs, "They don't even give a shit if you're wearing a mask here. Why these weird opening times?" You nod thoughtfully, "You're right". Bene didn't have a mask with him at the restaurant and nobody cared. You haven't even been asked about any paperwork. Admittedly, it doesn't really feel like this virus still exists here.



"They even have German beer, nice!" Bene notes enthusiastically and opens the fridge with a swing when you end up in a small shop that is open until midnight and, luckily, also sells alcohol. "Damn", you contemplatively stand next to them in front of the drink shelf and make an effort to think clearly. "If I drink beer now then it's game over.", You think out loud, "You shouldn't drink beer on wine"

You only drank wine all evening.

Red wine for dinner.

And white wine spritzer from the bar.

You think out loud, "Wine on beer, I advise you. Beer on wine, leave it alone" Jacob stands next to you, amused, and observes your inner monologue. "Get yourself another bottle of wine then", he advises you. "A whole bottle?", You look at him in astonishment, "Then I'll be dead after that too! I don't wanna get fucked up on the first evening" "Can't relate", Bene comments from the other side with a shrug while he pulls three beers from the shelf, "I do!"

"Or we share a bottle of wine, huh?" Jacob asks and looks down at you questioningly. You think about it for a moment and then have to laugh. "You mean drinking straight from the bottle?" He just shrugs and grins. "Wow, like alcoholics" you laugh, "walking around on the beach with a wine bottle" "Next to these two", Jacob emphasizes with a grin and points to Tim and Bene, who are heading for the cash register with beer bottles and a few knockers, "I don't think we have to worry about looking like alcoholics" You can't help but giggle and Jacob joins in when you have a laugh about the two idiots. "I guess you're right", you answer him thoughtfully. "Come on," Jacob says a word of command for both of you, "Let's go grab a bottle of wine" He puts his hand on your back, guiding you to the wine rack , "Help me choose."

authors note

Here you go, a whole chapter of getting fucked up. the German way. LOL.

Hope you enjoyed :D

Fun fact: 

I've had to google the saying with beer and wine only to find out it's rather unfamiliar in other countries. Apparently France also has a similar saying regarding drinking and mixing up red and white wine. (How cliche) 
But for us germans, or at least where I'm from specifically it really is something almost everybody has in mind when they drink different types of alcohol throughout the night :D 
I always think it makes a difference but it doesn't, the headache on the next day is pretty much the same lol.

Anyways back to the story;

Spoiler alert, the next part will be a bit more romantic. 

And then there's the first juicy part coming right up lol 

Stay tuned and see you soon 😁🖤
