    Excessive is having a few more than you intended right after the few you had to wash down the original few too many. [​IMG]

    Is it true that you can drink as much as you want with no ill effects, so long as you sit close to the fire so that the alchohol evaporates away? [​IMG]

    i've been thinking about that Tortuosa, and in the Victorian novels they always seemed to drink at all times of the day but always by a fire.

    That is obviously the secret. :D

    all i need is an alcohol drink that makes me feel cold instead of hot [​IMG]

    cheers
