Whenever I brought a drink for during the night I used always leave a book on top of it as I was worried about flies or spiders getting in (you know, living in country).

But then my little sister (she was around 5 at the time) woke one morning to find a little baby mouse floating in her glass.

Now I use bottles. With lids.

You can never be too safe.

The US one-dollar coin, introduced in 2000, is pretty unpopular. But not with me. I go out of my way to get them in the bank, or in certain vending machines that give them as change, and to spend them.

Biologically, precautionary pissing is very bad for you. Apparently there's a saying among doctors, nurses and all others involved, "You're born into nappies, and you die in nappies." This is because, by going to the toilet on say a half or quarter bladder, you are decreasing its ability to hold more. It's a little like charging a mobile phone battery when it's only down to three bars of energy.

Anyway, you'll need to piss anyway when out drinking. Alcohol makes your body's organs work harder. Therefore, you will sweat and piss more regardless of how much you pissed before you went out. One more piece of advice, on a night of drinking, hold the first piss in for as long as you can because, for want of a better expression, the first piss opens the floodgates.

Anyway, just a note of advice from a 6th year biology student with a particularly rambley teacher. :D

That's why I try and go before I leave the house. Otherwise I'm pissing like a baby for the whole night.

Aren't you a Munster supporter? There's one weird habit?
