It was okay for the first couple of hours, after that the alcohol had killed any kind of sensible discussion and reasonable debate.
I'm out of touch with these things myself but I vaguely recall that this is like that first wall of exhaustion when running and you just have to keep pounding away until you catch your "second wind". Likewise, you just have to drink your way through the wall after which point the conversation won't be any more sensible, but you'll care a hell of a lot less :lol:
