the straw trick - yeah we did that with bottles of red wine when we were 14 or 15.

More stupidly aged 17, we believed the wise advice of older [early 20s] hippies we knew,
so became keen purchasers of benylin cough medicine and kaolin and morphine mixture...
Those dastardly hippies also convinced us to drink the most disgusting home brewed poppy tea..

There was also some other vile local natural plant infusion, but i can't remember what it was
[not mushroomz - they actually did work quite nicely]

I remember we puked quite a lot in our late teens thanks to our trusting the the hippy equivalent of old wives tales... 😣
