Beer Saves Man

quote [ A man at risk of death by alcohol poisoning on Christmas Day has been saved by beer.

Nguyen Van Nhat, 48, lay dying in a hospital in Quang Tri, Vietnam, local media reported, with a blood methanol level 1119 times higher than normal.

Doctors, realising his body was trying to process too much alcohol at once, realised they could slow it down by giving him beer ]

"Here's to alcohol: the cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems."
- Homer Simpson

And for those of you on the other side of the aisle, here's good news from FoxNews:
While making their rounds on Wednesday, the pair [of beer delivery men] spotted a man hanging onto an overpass fence, Fox 9 reported. They believed the man was suicidal, prompting Anderson to call 911 as he tried to talk him into stepping off the ledge. ... [They] offered the man a drink, and rushed back to the beer truck to grab a 12-pack to lure him to safety.
And for the centrists, Shape magazine has Reasons to Reach for a Beer.

Happy #DryJanuary!

Beer is partly responsible for the existence of many of us, so, yeah, it needs to contribute to our well-being.
