BOUGHT ALCOHOL FROM THE RESTAURANT WHERE THEY ATE
The three friends went to a restaurant in the same neighborhood to eat and consume alcohol. After the meal, Samat İmanbekov, one of the three friends, bought a bottle of alcohol from the restaurant to drink later. İmanbekov told his friends that he would come to the barber the next day to get a haircut and that they could drink the alcohol together there.
LYING ON THE FLOOR, NEVER WOKE UP AGAIN
