"Whose smart idea was it to get Merlin drunk?" Arthur demanded his knights as he watched Merlin stagger around the hall looking into empty goblets for more ale. Arthur frowned when all fingers pointed to a sheepish looking Gwaine "i thought he'd be able to handle it!" he said as he scratched the back of his neck. "Obviously i was wrong."

"Ya know what?" Merlin slurred as he lent on Arthur's shoulder "I'm gunna shing a shong for all you lovely blokes!" he giggled slightly and took a big swig from the goblet of ale he had somehow found.

Merlin took a deep breath and proceeded to sing much to Arthur's dismay.

"I like beer 'cos it is good! I drink beer because i should!" he sang loudly and took another drink of his ale. "If there was a song to sing, i sing it and beer you bring!"

"Merlin..." Arthur warned as Merlin filled his cup with more of the toxicating drink. "I drink beer when i am sad, 'cause the beer it makes me glad!" Gwaine thumped Merlin on the back cheering and drinking with Merlin.

"Now there's nothing left to say, so let's go drink some beer!" he took another deep breath before yelling "BEER IS GOOD, BEER IS GOOD, BEER IS GOOD... AND STUFF!"

"Merlin, be quiet!" Arthur said tiredly as he rubbed his temples but Merlin continued to sing/scream his song. "BEER IS GOOD, BEER IS GOOD, BEER IS GOOD, LET'S GO DRINK SOME BEER!"

Taking another deep breath he swung his arm around Gwaine's shoulder and yelled at the top of his lungs "BEER!"

Then he released Gwaine and staggered around the room for a while before continuing his song "when it's warm it taste's real crappy, but cold beer will make me happy.

"When I throw up on the floor" Arthur cringed slightly at the vulgarity of Merlin's chosen words "I can go and drink some more, they say beer will make me dumb."

"Merlin" Arthur warned again but to no avail "it are go good with pizza!"

"What's pizza?" Arthur asked his knights but got only half arsed shrugs as they carried on watching Merlin. "Now that we have drunk some beer, let's go ride a horse!"

"I don't think that's a good idea!"

"BEER IS GOOD, BEER IS GOOD, BEER IS GOOD... AND STUFF!" Merlin giggled loudly as he tripped over his own feet, whilst drinking from his goblet. "BEER IS GOOD, BEER IS GOOD, BEER IS GOOD, LET'S GO DRINK SOME BEER!"

"Merlin would you calm down!"

"BEER!" was all a reply Arthur got "Merlin... i think you've had enough!" Arthur persuaded but his efforts were rewarded with Merlin screaming in his face "NO!"

"Let's go drink some beer!" then he sat on the floor and waved his hands back and forth whilst chanting "i am drunk, drunk is me, i am drunk. Wheee!"

"I am drunk, drunk is me, i am drunk. Wheee!"

"I am drunk, drunk is me, i am..." then he let out a vulgar belch before proceeding to collapse, unconscious, onto the floor. "Never again" Arthur sighed as he slumped into a chair.
