The soda game is very dark. I like it. Here's an idea... Whisky drinker pro... As you play and win, the screen gets blurrier and when you stagger around, see double and then pass out, you've won!! Maybe the player can be dressed up, like a US Post Office employee, hitting up bars like '' Irish Eyes'' and '' Tavern at the End of the World''
