Chapter 8
Prince Andrew tells Pieree to never marry because he looses all ones freedome. And he asks him to promise not to become like Anatole (the drunk).
Chapter 9
Even thought he promised not to go Pieree decided to visit Anatole. (Leo Tokstoy described Pieree as weak willed.) He had a large company of men and quickly got Pieree drunk. During the night a man called Dolokhov decided to take a stupid bet.
Dolokhov is an officer in the army, he isnt very influencel, but anybody who know him respects him. It is said that he leaves with Anatole but it is Dolokhov people admire more.
Dolokhov makes a bet with an English man that he can drink a whole bottle of rum while balancing on a window sill. (How many glasses is in a bottle of rum? Bc 16 can kill you.) Surprisingly he wins the bet and doesnt die.
Pieree also tries to do the same but the others stop him.
