If alcohol has such a dehydrating effect on the human body,
as claimed by the world's leading medical professionals and do-gooding abstemious
abstainers, then how come I'm still damp from the weekend? Is it just
a question of finding out how much is sufficient to dry oneself out, does
height and weight come into it, has intake capacity and toleration something to
do with it, or does it only work when one over-indulges, falls over and hugs
the pavement? On that basis, and purely in the spirit of biological and physiological
enlightenment, then perhaps the experiment should be continued to assess the exact
quantity that must be consumed to counter the effects of excessive rain on the
human body and the osmotic effect of absorption through sodden clothes. Cheers
everyone, here's to more scientific discovery, eh? David Attenborough has
nothing on this!
