What if an EXECUTEd XT doesn't return a status flag?  I'd expect to be
able to use DUP or SWAP or other words without having to redefine them
to return a status flag.  Isn't it a presumption on your part that a
user won't use words not defined to return a status flag?  I.e., wouldn't
the safe design be to *NOT* check for a condition after EXECUTE, but
*TO* check for the end-of-list prior to EXECUTE ?

True, I did misread that.  I had your drinking states reversed.

No, you still said you were drinking, perhaps not drunk.  Maybe, you
need to reread it too.  What you actually said was this:
