pre-medicated with preservatives...
the problem is those patients were probably injured BECAUSE of it too.

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.

Having worked in an Orange county Trauma unit for years, I can say that this author negated his premise when he gave the following info...
“...those who had been drinking were younger (average age 37 years vs. 44 years).”
Age makes all the difference in recovery. The younger they are, the better the body repairs itself...just think of the number of children who were drowning victims who recovered despite being under water for a very long time.
You never get the same results with adults.

Oooh, ooh! I know the answer to this one:
The TBI outcomes are better for those who had been drinking because they were more RELAXED upon impact.
I really doubt that giving patients beer as part of the recovery process is gonna fly.

Good Grief! It would probably be the consumption of alcohol that caused the injuries in the first place!

giving alcohol to brain injured patients may improve outcome,
It only makes them THINK the outcome improved. All women are beautiful at 2:00 a.m..........just don't make the mistake of seeing them at 7:00 a.m.

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.

That well known idea is probably more likely the reason those with head injuries recover than the ones proposed in this idiotic study! Sheesh, what a waste of money!
Plus, how do you administer beer to patients that have recently had a traumatic head injury?? Intravenously?
Idiots.

How many were passengers?
Just because passengers get tallied in “drunken accident” figures doesn’t mean that their drunken state played any role in the accident itself.
