Interviewed in the London Evening Standard, Julie Burchill recounts how she got "so drunk with another interviewer, they went off to the Lanes, bought fist-sized pills called Red Alert and necked them in the back of the cab. The interviewer then vomited the lot down her white Armani top". Classy. Suffice to say that only the day before, the Observer ran an interview with Burchill by the great Lynn Barber. Barber mentioned that they went shopping in Brighton and Burchill bought some pills - called Red Alert. A spooky coincidence.
