Advice for the Traveller in the USA: I think it was Anarcharsis, 2000 years ago, the inventor of both Anarchy and the modern Ship's Anchor, who noted: "The First Drink is For Happiness, the Second Drink is for Relaxation, the Third Drink is for Love and Laughter..the Fourth Drink is for Madness..." If I were you, whilst in America, I would forgo the Fourth drink... and Take the Fifth...
