   Hi, Gleb Hlebov!   
   I read your message from 01.07.2024 04:56   
      
    AK>>>> The comma before "and" is just an unnecessary thing that   
    AK>>>> provides anything to make the understanding more clear.

   As the person who had seen it through the window ;) I can say that they were   
   drunk all. And indeed, just think,  If two of them were sober why on earth   
   they had went to the pub? ;-)   
      
   Bye, Gleb!
