Inform: How to make a drink retusable after having been drank?

Hi,

I have an object ( a tankard of mead) the bartender gives it to the
player when asked.
I did this by putting it on the bar with concealed. Then when the
bartender is asked for it the mead is given ~concealed and moved to the
player.
I have tried the reverse idea for the mead.
before [;
"You drink the mead. Yum.";
move mead to bar;
give mead concealed;
];

This doesn't work tho. The message appears but the mead remains in the
player's inventory.
Does anyone have any suggestions for how I could handle this better...
or correctly (should I actually be barking up the RIGHT tree)?
What about hacking the DrinkSub ?

Thanks in advance,

-Dwight
