Profit without stout

With Scotland cruising at 0-2 last night I thought, by way of a mini celebration, I might pour myself an export strength (7.5% abv) guinness.  I was just pondering the wisdom of this act of school-night decadance when Scotland conceeded a penalty and had their captain sent of. 
I'd allowed myself to become complacent and had been punished. I abandoned my plan immendiately and watched the last 15 minutes in fraught, dry silence. The team managed to recover from my error sufficiently to -just- see out the game at 1-2. No thanks to me. 
I flicked over to the Croatia  v England game, which was 0-3,  and quickly concluded that it would have been impossible for me to drink enough to save Croatia from defeat. So I went to bed.
