• - Despite being a tee-totaller, friends in Melbourne advise I should be consuming great amounts of this while in the UK/England.
  Refer advice received about "Hangover Vitamins"
  • A Feb 2008 addition: the word Tee-Totaller: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teetotalism:
    Etymology: One anecdote attributes the origin of the word to a meeting of the Preston Temperance Society in 1832 or 1833. This society was founded by Joseph Livesey, who was to become a leader of the temperance movement and the author of The Pledge: "We agree to abstain from all liquors of an intoxicating quality whether ale, porter, wine or ardent spirits, except as medicine." The story attributes the word to Dicky Turner, a member of the society, who had a stammer, and in a speech said that nothing would do but "tee-tee-total abstinence".
