I was attending a food-tasting event at a bar one weekday night in London. There was a small group of regulars that attend these things: bloggers, journalists, etc., and I knew a few of the others from previous events. One woman I'd met just once or twice before; she was Canadian, like me, and so we had a bit of common background.
A lot of booze started flowing at the event, as often happens. Before I know it the talk starts getting a bit looser, we forget what we're tasting, and the speech volume goes up.
