Default OT; Ping Owain

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Owain
saying something like:

Wee heavy (90/-) was over 6.0% abv


I've never heard 90/- referred to as 'wee heavy' anywhere I've drunk in
Scotland. It's possible the wikipedia entry was localised and in that
area 'wee heavy' referred to a local habit of ordering 90/- ale in half
pints.
