Mnemonic

You don't want to keep all the alcohol to yourself (oneself), so you distribute it to all of your friends. Heck, not just your friends, to everyone you can find!

Hints

Don't be that person who keeps the alcohol all to themselves. Distribute it to all of the legally-aged people you know!

Mnemonic

As you distribute the alcohol you say a haiku (はい):

Here you go my friends
Alcohol for everyone
Never drink alone

Hints

This becomes the haiku you say before every party, every potluck, and every night out at the bar. You even get it tattoo'd to your arm.
