Step away from the bottle.
A New Zealand man lost his eyesight after mixing vodka with his diabetes medicine. (Scary, no?) The deadly mix turned into methanol poisoning and causes formaldehyde to build up in his system, leading to loss of sight.
To prevent the methanol from further metabolizing into formaldehyde, doctors administered ethanol through Duthie's gastro-intestinal tract, but there was only so much in stock.
After the supply ran dry, a staff member was sent to a nearby liquor store to purchase a bottle of top-shelf whisky: Johnnie Walker Black.
"I thought it was pretty bloody good," Duthie told the Herald, referring to the doctors' unconventional cure. "I'm alive. The hospital was absolutely awesome. Couldn't have been better."
LOL at his response. I bet!
