Here’s a thought for you. Go and knock back a few lychee wines at this Shanghainese restaurant called Shui Hu Ju on Peel Street, then top it off with a few whisky dry’s at Bling. Stumble down to Tsui Wah for a vegetable curry and arrive back home at 5am. Then realise you have to wake up early to go see a film. An action film no less. Really helps with queasy stomach you woke up with and that’s been trying to expel itself from your body for the previous two hours.

Well, that was my fun and games on the eve of Buddha’s birthday. I have two theories to the negative effect the alcohol had on me. The first is that my body is still undergoing detox from a meat diet and no smoking. Of course, everyone knows that a nice juicy fat steak always helps in preparation for a large night out. The second theory is that the lychee wine has the same effect that sake has. Knocks you out silently if you don’t keep a reign on the flow. I’m eager to go with the second as the first one makes it my fault.
