Sam-

You're right to be cautious about Kat's tavern. The swill she serves there, and the drinks:

When the Giant Squid's drained his final jar,
You'll find him clingling to the bar,
With wheel adrift, sheets to the wind,
He'll need a tow back home again.

My head's still ringing and the less I say about what was down below...here comes another dry heave!
