This led to chuckles from other members of the debate, as Baron Bird bent down to pick up a glass from his seat. Baron Bird seems to lose concentration for a split second while talking about the serious matters at hand. After suffering from the classic dry-mouth, a tell-tale hangover sign for all ages, he goes over to his seat to get a sip from his glass.
