5 the bar to your home.The answer to this puzzle is that you used a beer

8 The BeerScooter is a mythical form of transport, owned and leased out
9 to the drunk by Bacchus the Roman god of wine. Bacchus has branched
10 out since the decline of the Roman Empire and bought a large batch of
11 these magical devices.The beer scooter works in the following fashion:
12
13 The passenger reaches a certain level of drunkenness and the slurring
14 gland begins to give off a pheromone. Bacchus or one of his many
15 sub-contractors detects the pheromone and sends down a winged beer
16 scooter. The scooter scoops up the passenger and deposits them in
17 their bedroom via a trans-dimensional portal.

19 It is not cheap to run a BeerScooter franchise, so a large portion of
20 the passenger's in-pocket cash is taken as payment. This generates the
21 second question after a night out 'How did I spend so much money?'.

23 Beer scooters have a poor safety record and are thought to be
24 responsible for 90% of all UDI's (unidentified drinking injuries).

26 Independent studies also show that passengers wearing Beer Goggles
27 sometimes cause the scooter's navigation system to malfunction sending
28 the passenger to the wrong bedroom often with horrific consequences.
