Phases of the Moon

Phase 1

A group of moon faced whiskey drinkers gaze and ponder what they've done with their lives.
"I am 39 and have only an ex-wife to show for all the wrong I've done," says 1.
"I'm 36 and have never been married," says another.
"I've a wife and family. Hande me your bottles, I need them more than you," says the last.

And with that an eclipse cast a shadow over their drunken midnight.
