Alderney has an annual event called “Milk-a-Punch Sunday” and I’ve specifically worked my schedule around being able to be there, plus a day on the ground on Monday to recover.

Will the one day on Monday be enough?!
I seem to recall being told it’s half an hour per unit of alcohol. 24 hours is a LOT of Milk-a-punch!
