He bu he?

Hedy: Paul, I think they're trying to get you drunk.
[Some of the Chinese teachers continue talking in rapid Mandarin]
Paul: That's what I figure. Okay let's do this! Cheers Nicholas! [takes a swig of beer]
[Chinese conversation stops]
Nicholas: Hey Paul, we're gonna play a drinking game. It's called "he bu he?" (to drink or not to drink?)
[Nicholas explains the rules to Hedy in Cantonese]
Hedy: [translating] Basically it works like this. One person covers his eyes. The person to his right points at a person sitting at the table and says "he bu he?" The blind person says either "he" (drink) or "bu he" (not drink). That person the pointer pointed at has to drink. You can point to the blind person and yourself too. You can't pick the same person in a row, but can go back and forth if you want.
Paul: Sounds stupid easy, and probably will make me stupid drunk.  Didn't you say they are trying to get me drunk? They're gonna gang up on me.

...1 hour, many beers and a round of baijiu later...

[One of the Chinese staff fronts some more baijiu towards Paul]

Paul: Oh man, I don't like this game at all. I can't believe I'm still standing.  Hey this guy's trying to get me to do another round of baijiu! Eh, how about Nicholas here? [hands Nicholas a cup of the stuff]
Nicholas: No, I can't handle that stuff. [divides his share between Paul and a Chinese teacher]
Paul: Um...okay...

[Paul stares at a glass half full of baijiu]
