It is mild in my case, but does have implications.
I haven't heard of Bells Palsy, so will have to look it up.

There was an alcoholic lemon drink from Australia (I think) that was created when two brothers who were told to pick the lemons from a tree, didn't and they went bad. Getting drunk on laziness sounds like a decent outcome :)
