I drank far too much in the Horse and Groom last Wednesday, and when I went to bed the room was gently spinning around me. I noticed that it was spinning anticlockwise, and I wondered if I could make it go the other way; for a while I thought I could, but then I realised that it was still going anticlockwise and I’d just been confusing myself. This sparked the question – does the room always spin anticlockwise when you’re drunk? Conversations with fellow drinkers have suggested that it might do (evidence of staring at clock faces was cited), but there’s clearly a need for further study here. Who’s game?
