In the Howarth Hobble fell race, there is an aid station about 1k before the pike. One of the offerings that have, along with water and snacks, is whisky. I had a tiny nip, about a heaped teaspoon full, and it was wonderful after eating sugary foods for miles. Cleared my head and generally perked me up. However, by the time i got to the top of the pike, I felt p*ssed. I put it down to me being an athlete, and my blood pumping faster, rather than me being a lightweight.
