notorious lightweights in this department. I have a frenemy,
big fat guy (think Emeril Lagasse but considerably more apelike
in aspect), wonderful violin player but very moody and close to
insane, who was on tour of Japan with the Pops - he somehow found

drinking contest, which he won handily, earning many cheers and
banzais from the patrons of the restaurant.

dodgy; no head effect but for an inability to sleep properly,
which might be also attributable to vast quantities of chocolate.
