Doesn't time fly...

It's only 3 years since the Conservatives led by David Cameron won a surprise majority in the General Election, leading to the resignations of Ed Milliband, Nick Clegg and (briefly) Nigel Farage.

Been a lot of water under the bridge since then.

Scott.

Cameron is in some plummy banking job, Farage has buggered off to the continent with the fat EU pension that he never quite managed to disavow, and Cleggy? Sorry, I mean Sir Nicholas? Hiding out in Putney and trying not to get noticed, or remembered.

At my age you don't need any help to forget. Any recommendations out there on what to drink to remember?

I'm sure you were told the last time you asked but I may be misremembering.

You Jocks have the ideal potion coming from your bogs. To my taste, the best of all comes from Islay.

(Shame about the exorbitant price here. We need a tariff-free trade deal with your country.)

Nice one!

But it has to be said, the press love stories like that, and tend to miss the nuances. In the case reported, did anyone ask questions like whether the alcohol just happened to correlate with having a more relaxing evening? That would apply even in the circumstances described if the "you can/can't drink booze" message put the subjects into different moods, influencing the results and their behaviour more generally.

A good study would raise such issues, and seek to reference other studies that might be relevant. For example, substitute something specific for the booze: e.g. work hard vs watch telly vs go for a walk.
