Plot summary

Bonnie is shocked when rocker Rod Knaughton from the semi-successful 1980s band Sachet does a share at the meeting. Having spent "four nights" with him 30-some years ago, Bonnie reintroduces herself, but is disappointed when Rod doesn't remember her. After making fun of him, Bonnie goes to Rod's house to make amends and learns he lives with his mother and has been sober longer than he let on. She then agrees to be Rod's sponsor. Meanwhile, Tammy wants to make modifications to Bonnie's and Adam's apartment upon seeing Adam struggle to reach cereal on an upper shelf, only to learn the building's owner forbids it. Title meaning: A beverage Rod's mother offers to Bonnie and Jill and Marjorie's description of AA meetings after chastising Bonnie for possibly threatening Rod's sobriety.
