I know a fellow who wrecked his motorcycle at 100 mph, drunk, without a helmet.
By all rights, he should have been dead before he stopped.
The only significant permanent injury he suffered was the loss of hearing in one ear, because as he was tumbling to a stop, his brain was rattling around inside his skull and tore loose one of his auditory nerves.
If you ever wonder if miracles still occur, there’s one right there.
God loves drunks and children.
(Ben Franklin, I think.)
My FIL was in intensive care with a college student who was knocked down a flight of steps while drunk and went into a coma. His liver went to sleep while he was in the coma. When he woke up from the coma, he was still drunk.
