A tip for the newbie: pastis makes an interesting mouthwash.

The alcoban just relates to the Bike 24 hour race, the usual 24 hour race has no such ban, I have been told that during the weekend that the bikes race there are always a number of bikers who use the roads of the full 24 hour circuit to kill themselves and quit often others. However I am sure that a ban on alcohol only means that they must find other ways to amuse themselves.

Alcohol and bikes don't mix, you tend to fall of after only a few yards, so perhaps then ban is not good for safety.
