Hook me up

Read this story today and thought it was pretty cool.

Bascially it’s about a patient who came into hospital suffering from Anti-freeze poisoning. They would normally treat this by using pharmaceutical grade alcohol. However since their supplies had run out the doctors just decided to use a case load of commercial vodka instead. Get this man some vodka, STAT! They ended up hooking him up to a drip which feed him 3 standard drinks per hour for a total of 3 days.

Maybe i’m just an alcoholic but I usually go through more than 3 drinks an hour while drinking but it still sounds like a sweet deal anyway. Here I am using my mouth like a chump. No if only they could augment some food into that drip then I would be set for life.
