The Sorry Tale of Madjeski Stadium Alcohol
I had three pints of the ironically named 'Best bitter' at the Madjeski Stadium on Saturday, an experience that left me with an obligatory dull ache in my left eye and a nauseous feeling for the rest of the evening, restricting me to a social life that included a hot bath in between slipping in and out of consciousness.
