I remember you used to measure money in units of 'drunk', where 1 drunk=about £25

This is still vaguely correct, at least when a pint is exchangable for between £2 and £2.50. This also holds for phono/bassment/subculture priced spirits (70p -> £1.50, and yeilds the special currency units of a Halloween (£30), a Winter Festivity (£50), and a Wedding Without A Free Bar (£100).

I still give quotes for technomancer services in said units. An insignificantly small hosting job is about a pint a year, sites that get regularly chewed by lots of search engines and need database hosting start from a pint a month or a drunk a year. It follows that RockSoc with their highly vocal community owe me a Kebab,¹ Food Poisoning² and A Hangover from Hell

1. I understand that a Kebab is a measure of drunkenness, whereby one has drunk enough alcohol to brave such delicacies.
2. This is variety of Kebab achieved at a venue where no sober person would eat.
