Dryer than Gandhi’s flip flop goes the well worn expression. So fittingly Mohandas K’s home state, as well as being predictably arid, is alcohol free as well.
It’s what the great man would’ve wanted.
Not ideal if you’re an English cricket fan though.
Does anyone know where I can get a beer from in Ahmedabad?
I’d even take Lion Strong at room temperature*, the Sri Lankan pisshead’s drink of choice, at this stage.
Pull yourself together Wiss, things aren’t that bad. Maybe I can learn something about myself during this spontaneously enforced spell of prohibition.
Fresh water melon juice could be the future……
Happy Diwali everyone!

Cous…Top tips learnt from Pakistan:
* Follow an ice cream van, the favourite vehicle of choice for transporting contraban.
* Grab yourself a ‘Timmy the bookie’, always the purveyor of luxurious goods.
* Ask quietly for a ‘Murrays’, Pakistans finest…gold medalist in 1893. Probably though the last time it was brewed.
* When the BA leave the ground at lunch, they will walk in a lemmings line, heading for the promised ole colonial club. Follow.
If all else fails, book yourself into the A’Bad AA meeting.

Sound advice, well dispensed. Some lovely tales from cricket trips of yore there.
Rumours abound that contraband Carlsberg can be sourced from somewhere not too far away. However, apparently, you need a Dr’s note advising you are a certified Alchie in order to get beer in Gujurat….
Still, it means the Beer War Chest will remain unopened until Mumbai next week. Tesco Nige must know some good haunts there.
