(...) The easiest way to divide up a bottle of liquid would be to use the spirit measure, though this is not recursive: Repeat Attach measure to bottle Repeat pour drink drink Until bottle empty Seek another bottle Until too drunk to lift glass not (...)

To be honest I just found the whole thing so funny because I can honestly say, none of my non-Afol friends can manage to spell "recursively" after a night of drinking never mind have a working theory around it based (...)
