The medical marijuana card of its day. The per-meal 'minimum' is a nice touch.

I hope that was just a baseline 250 ml overall and not 250 per meal. That's.... a lot

Depends on what Churchill counts as "alcoholic spirits". 250ml can be one beer (normal) or 3 martinis (a bit much for breakfast). He can't have meant 250ml of pure alcohol, surely. That's what, 4 liters of beer or a bottle of vodka?

Churchill counted brandy as alcohol.
