Well who am I to buck such a well worn tradition. I believe I have a Guinness in the fridge. Cheers professor Brands!

I'm always happy to see the Greek wisdom behind an old Roman phrase! Another paraphrase would be "drunken talk reveals sober thoughts..."

I must be one of the rare non-hangover people- the few times I've overindulged didn't give me one.

Dogfish Head Ales Brewing came out with a line of ales several years ago, releasing one a year called Ancient Ales wherein they work with a molecular biologist and when ancient pottery is found, such as a pot in scandinavia, they work to figure out what was in it and came up with a Viking Ale. they've done this with recipies from China, Turkey, Ethiopia and elsewhere
