Quite right, too many snobs on the red wine, just drink what you like. I used to go on the booze trips to France when the supermarkets were selling off stock and I remember buying two cases of a wine called Chateau Rambeau just for quaffing purposes which cost the princely sum of 2 quid a bottle and seriously it was as good as the clarets like Margaux and Pauillac. I went back the year after but never found it again sadly but I wished I’d bought a lot more.

One of the best bottles I've had in recent years was a Tempranillo from a little corner shop across from an apartment I was staying at near Nerja. €4, absolutely bang on.

All good.

Apart from sustainability, the issue over ingestion of microplastics and the damage it the body is ever growing.

Got to be better.

I’ve read the article twice, to check I hadn’t missed anything. I’ve never previously seen a product discussion that focussed entirely on the packaging, without mentioning what’s inside the bloody thing. For all we know, the water could be sourced from the Croal! 🤢

The water is extracted from Cheddar Gorge spring near Glastonbury, where the land is free from pesticides and chemicals. The water is naturally high in alkaline, the substance which re-hydrates you when you drink.......

Works out £1 a bottle if you buy 24 from their website so probably £3 each on the concourse and they will take the lid off.

Makes sense . The body is naturally slightly acidic 7.35-7.45 in a healthy adult . After strenuous excersice the muscles release acid so the Alkali would help to bring that down , tho the more water you drink to rehydrate the more salt you lose as water strips sodium from your cells . 

Thats also why a Full English is considered a great hangover cure as its full of salt to replace that pissed away after a heavy session . All this energy drink / Isotonic stuff is largely bollocks . The reason why Nurses and Junior doctors could pull 90 hour weeks whilst still getting shitfaced was cos they would pop 800mg Ibuprofen and self canulate and hook up to a drip of a litre of Saline (0.9% NaCl) and be hangover free for the next shift ....that and being young . 

Also for a layman the best hangover cure is after the night out , take the Ibuprofen with 2 pints of water and a packet of plain crisps . Job done.

7.35-7.45 is slightly alkaline.

Can you  not just add salt to tap water

Yeah you can but it tastes vile and is likely to bounce back up on a bellyful of booze.

Anything higher than a PH of 7 is slightly alkaline. Not slightly acidic. And that lactic acid claim has been debunked. That's not what makes you ache. What makes you ache is DOMS. Water doesn't 'strip' anything. It just that when you drink it dilutes the sodium concentration. And you wouldn't want Ibuprofen with booze or you'll risk gastric bleeding. Especially at that dose. Self cannulation is more of a legend than actual practice. Apart from that - I'm with you 100% 😉😁

You are right about the alkaline/ acidity on the PH scale. I should have said the body is slightly alkalotic rather than acidic .

"strips" , "loses" essentially the same thing . Your sodium levels drop , not severe hyponatremia but enough to cause some of the symptoms of a hangover. 

Ibuprofen @ 800mg is perfectly safe the max does at once is 3200mg orally, usually given for acute on chronic  joint pain . Unless you are predisposed to gastric bleeds . Aspirin has the same risks . Paracetamol is the one that should be avoided but all of them are now commonly enteric coated to help avoid any gastric risks . 

The self cannulation trick I have seen used by years of intakes of junior doctors on a reular/weekly basis and is certainly not "Urban Myth" 

Apart from that Im with you 100% 🙂

Is it not a vodka, lime and soda accompanied by a fat line of coke, then?
