Alcohol (ETOH) is a direct irritant to the gut and raises all manner of hell to the GI tract. ETOH is also one of the few things that is absorbed directly from the stomach. That is why drinking on an empty stomach can get you that buzz a little faster, and the pros count on this with drinking as soon as they regain consciousness (FWIW, Alcoholics don't really sleep all that well ). Alcoholics also tend to forget to eat. One of the results is more ultra soft to liquid stools. The Metamucil can help reduce diarrhea experienced by the chronic excessive drinkers.

Because of the constant bowel irritation, the gut has trouble absorbing vitamins, the B complex in particular. Vitamins and other nutrients are not picked up and wind up in the toilet. One of the multiple treatment goals for patients being treated for excessive ETOH intake is the administration of B vitamins, by injection at first because of the bowel irritation.

Thank you doc. Explanations like the above are why grunts love their smart medical people.

Sorry for the hijack everyone.
 
I searched to see whether this was posted before, but haven't found it. I'm making my way through the 3 part "five came back" on Netflix.


Thirteen of the WWII documentaries shot by William Wyler, John Ford, Frank Capra, George Stevens and John Huston are also available on streaming.

There is a lot the present generation has not seen and does not understand. We can learn from looking back at WW II. The question is will they take the time to learn and understand?

Not likely, IME. The perception of war for the American public seems to lie in video games, pictures, movies - a means of understanding that are a step removed.

I don't know that many people now have a sense of what it means and what the folks they send off to fight go through, and how poisonous of an experience it can be.

Anyhow, thanks for the heads up on these, @Frank S. We can use Netflix for something other than kids cartoons!
 
Life is real when the cycle repeats itself because humans are stupid.
 
Re-watched for the umpteenth time The Edge. Always thought this movie was under-rated. Great story of survival and never saying, "I quit".

It may be Stephen who was in "The Usual Suspects". He has had time in rehab and some of the interviews I have seen were nothing like Alec.

As an aside, "The Usual Suspects" released in 1995, had production delays directly attributed to Kevin Spacy's sexual proclivities. He has been well known for his sleazy side for a loooong time. }:-):mad:

Spacey is/ was a very good actor, what a waste of talent and oxygen.
 
Red Flag 1 said:
Yeah, I agree. One of his most memorable roles was as the late Bobby Darin. IIRC Spacey did most if not all of the vocals. It is such a waste.

I wonder when the criminal charges will start showing up. Careers have been ended, and that is a good start, but these guys need some prison time in the general population. That is where the real payback starts.

Bill Cosby may pass before he pays his dues. It doesn't really seem to go anywhere with celebs.
 
Kristin Wiig is funny and talented, it's hard to imagine her as a villain but I think she'll be good at it. She was pretty ornery on SNL.
