‘‘Peek into the little book of drinking cliches and you’ll discover wine looking dapper in its best bib and tucker. Cider, meanwhile, is stood in a stain-strewn smock and pointing at planes while beer, so often deemed the doofus of drinks, impatiently pulls at the strings on his novelty hat – giggling gormlessly as the felt hands atop clap together.
‘‘But that’s just a whole load of doodleflap.’’
