I met up with some friends for one of their birthdays last weekend. I drank 2 champagne sized bottles of Leffe before being forced to drink vodka and coke, birthday boy was given a bowl full to drink with a spoon (soup?! Why haven't I got any soup?), then we were out on the town (Weston-super-mare... ) and my friend appeared from his visit to the bar with four shot glasses, which he wouldnt tell us the contents of, I gave mine a sniff. I had a cold but I detected Pernod, it turned out to be Pernod and tequila. More vodka. Anyway the next day I woke up feeling like a 10,000 year old mummy, and we went for breakfast feeling like we'd all been blasted with a healthy dose of radiation, except for mr birthday who was pretty chipper. Turned out that he'd had a double vodka for breakfast and felt on top of the world, in fact he suggested that we go to the pub after breakfast. I don't know how anyone could even consider that, the smell of alcohol the next day is like a million dirty nappies to me.
