from ponderous ponderings:

the beer scooter works in the following fashion:

the passenger reaches a certain level of drunkenness and the “slurring gland” begins to give off a pheromone. bacchus or one of his many sub-contractors detects the pheromone and sends down a winged beer scooter.

the scooter scoops up the passenger and deposits them in their bedroom via a trans-dimensional portal. it is not cheap to run a beer scooter franchise, so a large portion of the passenger’s in-pocket cash is taken as payment. i love to say that i didn’t know what they were on about…
