Being a non-drinker I understand and approve of the goal. People rapidly
stop being funny after the first bottle or two of that "Everclear and
cherry cough syrup" concoction. Been there, and was _really_ tempted to
let evolution take it's course (he'd have been hypothermic before the
night was over...).

"Lambs wool" made with non-alcoholic cider? What is the status of
tisanes of varius kinds? IIRC they were all medical.

 Which ones of Chausers stories? Me, I'll have to memorize some of the
 thattir (short sagas) out of the Icelandic corpus. And some of the more
 outrageous parts of the elder Edda. You can't beat two people shouting
 inventive insults to each other across a strait.
