doesn't look

very well. So I say Taro are you okay?

And he says yeah

I have a headache because I drank too
much

last night. I see you have a headache
because you drank too much

last night. Perfect sentence, but it's a
little bit long, right?

Because I drank too much last night.

So what's up a short

Are you okay? And he says I have a hangover from last night.

I see. So you drank too much

the night before
