How can I die?
  • 1 of 6: Well, maybe not dead.  Looking dead would be good enough.
  • 2 of 6: Falling asleep for a long time will do.
  • 3 of 6: Seen any warnings about drowsiness?
  • 4 of 6: There's one in the recipe book.  It tells you not to mix alcohol and the Head-B-Clear.
  • 5 of 6: So mix the two.
  • 6 of 6: Order a drink, and before you drink it, spike it with the Head-B-Clear. Then, you can drink the spiked drink.  You'll pass out and they'll put you in the crypt.
