It began with this poster, which loomed like a guilty conscience over the Sunday morning breakfast table of three friends fresh off a weekend bender.
The trio was filling up at San Francisco’s Just for You diner, patching together memories of the weekend, when the poster interrupted, practically challenging them aloud, in a tough Irish brogue:
