America is a continent. Maybe you meant that big country on the north?

Duh! I get my codeine from the doctor and my THC from the coffee shop. What is
wrong with life? :)

I lost the taste for real ales during a period when they tasted worse than my
usually stick to Red Stripe. When I was working at D&G I promised to keep
drinking it to help their economy. That is true and it is one promise that I
will keep as long as I can. (Thanks Jenny) :)
I lived in Scotland.

I prefer the whiskies from the east coast the ones that are not peaty, like
Glenmorangie and The Famous Grouse for blended. I like drinking beer with

What I was told was; one relaxes you, two simulates you, more keeps you awake.

You know, when I was in Europe for six or seven weeks, people would ask
me where I was from. I'd say "The United States." The answer was
invariably "You mean America?"

Depends on whether the "more talk" translates into "saying things I
shouldn't" - something else I don't understand about some people who say
they didn't know what they were doing. How can you not know what you're
doing?

Yeah, some people are fortunate that way. I don't drink like I used to
any more, so I also don't have hangovers any more...

Fortunately mostly the same old garbage with only the odd 'you shouldn't
have said that'.

Alcohol inhibition between short-term and long-term memories? Didn't they
do tests on drunken goldfish?

I don't tend to mix drinks, which I note others seem to do so may well be
a factor.
