Woo! We're going to teh Holland
Too much beer can be a dangerous thing.
More specifically, it can turn you from a reasonable, rational human being into the kind of person who, in a fit of despair after losing the pub quiz yet again, turns to his fellow ex-pat Geordie and slurs something along the lines of "tell you what, let's spend 200 euros each on an overnight trip to Holland to watch a Newcastle game next month."
And, crucially, wakes up the next morning and actually acts on the impulse before the hangover wears off.
It'll be a great experience, don't get me wrong, but I'm sure sobriety would have prevented it...
