And what is the question? "What was wrong with the man who asked for a drink?"

You may say so... Just guess the situation :)

Мышка-Машка, so did the man get his drink at last before leaving the bar?

Jelllyjam, no

were those men of different nationalities?

Kim_Berly, hardly, but it's irrelevant

1. Was the man a Negro?
2. Did he have something with him that was forbidden?
(Agrrhhh! It's difficult to guess... But I'll keep on asking!)

1,2 - irrelevant :)

i'd never guessed so i found the answer.;)
of course it's not right of me to say so but the formulation of the situation isn't that precise. A drink is associated with some booze. Some details are needed.

Kim_Berly, he might have asked for water or any other drink...

Мышка-Машка, did he ask for a shot (Myaffka offered this variant)?)))

Мышка-Машка, again, if i proceed, everything will be clear! let's discuss it later ;)

Jelllyjam, I see what it's about now! ))) He has a nice sense of humour )))

Let it be water ))) He asked for water...

Мышка-Машка, actually I found the answer by chance, but the "shot" is a good wordplay in this puzzle)))
Maybe we can write the right answer, 'cause we all know it)))

Jelllyjam, I liked the pun too )))
Go on )))

Мышка-Машка, I mean the hiccup)))

hiccups )))
