Back in '83, my rugby team toured Ireland. None of the host teams would
ever let us pay for our drinks until one night. That was the night that I
drank 18 Guinesses. The stuff just didn't affect me in terms of
inebriation. I did, however, have a lot of time to think it over in the
W.C...
We later discoverd that the boys drinking with us the nights before games
were on the 'B' sides. We of course were thoroughly hammered by the A sides
the following mornings. Rugby is the ultimate team sport...
