Don't be afraid of music. Maybe if they chanted obscenities to a beat, or yelled racial insults to a background of strings, you'll feel better and not be scared.
You know this is actually true, but it is a very fine line, every person has slightly different tolerance so it is very hard to pinpoint the sweet spot. Drink too much and your effectivness declines, too little and there is no effect, but drink just enough and you are your perfect self without any downsides.
I find when I play poker, the sweet spot is exactly 1.5 drinks. I'm relaxed enough to make the big bets when necessary, but I'm still able to play at my best.

Literally finished my second as this came up in my feed.
Don't finish your second drink!!!
The fact that David's character is carrying two filled wine glasses in a briefcase at the start is a nice subtle bit of absurdity.
or is it…as he said after 2 drinks anything is possible.
I love that bit of camerawork, lol.
The glasses had peel away plastic caps to stop the wine spilling out into the brief case. He peeled away the caps after he opened the case and before he took the glasses out.
Only 1 filled glass. The other is only mostly full.

That was 3 drinks.
I’ve seen this sketch multiple times, and only just noticed that Robert is holding a kebab in the last scene. Ties in nicely with the beginning.
..which in the fullness of time will end up decorating some one's garden gnome.
This is the real reason why Boris thinks gathering for wine in the 10 Downing Street garden counts as work.
It was a meeting between society members lol
The drink ambushed him and was in cahoots with the birthday cake 😆 🤣
Haven't you ever been to the House of Commons? There are bars there, and they do a roaring trade
Unfortunately, Boris finished his second drink and ordered a third, one day in 2016.
The next day, the UK voted to leave the EU.
No. Boris was a member of a different secret society. The Inebrfarti. A society of over eaters slightly overweight and with bad digestion

Still amazing how he stored 2 filled glasses in that suitcase 🤣
It's much easier if you're a little wobbly
One filled glass and one very nearly filled glass
@@bobbodaskank I noticed this as well - an important detail!
The premise of this sketch has been turned into an entire movie - the new Danish movie Druk / Another Round with Mads Mikkelsen.
Great film btw
Nice! Thanks for making me aware of an interesting movie.
Yep - was just about to write it ! :-)
