Reminds me of a story 2 Somerset men told me about their visit to a cider house (a place that only sells cider, usually scrumpy, and maybe some beer); they were telling me about the effects of scrumpy that are, basically, your brain works perfectly but you lose all control of your muscles! (this includes speech).

Among the various effects were:

* You'd clearly think of some deep and philosophical message, but all that comes out is "bleugh, blah, shsmsh..."
* They would turn around to go out to the loo, and their legs totally failed to respond to the brain's instructions, and they'd fall flat on their faces.
* On one occasion, one of the guys recalled that he was fascinated by the way the bar counter was coming up to smack him in the face.
