Apparently, Churchill had a trick; when he was slightly drunk he'd act like a complete madman. He'd push things as far as possible, so that when he was really drunk no one would be surprised.

Really? Weird. I'm on desktop, so I didn't notice anything.
In any case, here's the relevant bit:
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.
TIL Churchill visited the US during prohibition, and also TIL he got hit by a car during his trip. Getting that full American experience, LOL
