Too much blood in your alcohol stream? Try alcohol through a drip!
Australian doctors have kept an Italian tourist alive by feeding him vodka through a drip for three days, medical staff in Queensland say.
The 24-year-old man, who had swallowed a poison in an apparent suicide attempt, was treated while in a coma.
Doctors set up the drip after running out of medicinal alcohol, used as an antidote to the poison. (BBC)

Of course, it would be best not to try – or be worth – trying to kill yourself first. But at least no-one can say that alcohol never saved a life!
