- Here's what the Encyclopaedia Galactica has to say about alcohol. It says that alcohol is a colourless, volatile liquid formed by the fermentation of sugars, and also notes its intoxicating effect on certain carbon-based life forms.

- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy also mentions alcohol. It says that the best drink in existence is the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster.

- The effect of which is like having your brain smashed out with a slice of lemon wrapped around a large gold brick.

- The Guide quite also tells you on which planets the best Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters are mixed, how much you can expect to pay for one and what voluntary organisations exist to help you rehabilitate.

- The man who invented this mind-pummelling drink also invented the wisest remark ever made, which was this: Never drink more than two Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters unless you are a 30 ton mega elephant with bronchial pneumonia.

- His name is Zaphod Beeblebrox and we shall learn more of his wisdom later.

- Six pints of bitter, and quickly, please. The world's about to end.

- Yes, sir. Nice weather for it.
