a single bottle of wine turns into a HUGE hangover (i.e last saturday morning)..

.. although it was part of my experiment "how cheap a bottle of wine is actually drinkable without complaint?"

..i've subsequently found out the answer is above 1€ 50 for a litre

or, of course, the other Daily Mail variants;
‘young people today…’
‘bring back the birch…’
‘these people who…’
‘living off our taxes…’
‘national service would sort them out…’

When travelling, I used to take every opportunity to get a drink; then it changed to something to eat; then to catch up on some sleep; now it's to go to the toilet.
