I hear ya....<br /><br />EVERY time I am called over to counsel a patient on Flagyl, my initial question is met with a horrified look and a response of "Oh my God! NO, I don't DRINK!" NEVER fails. Apparently, Vermont is a dry state. That does little to explain all the bars, liquor stores, and beer aisles in supermarkets in the town I work in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-3804324863768384332010-01-18T15:17:40.540-05:002010-01-18T15:17:40.540-05:00Sounds like she had my Friday & Saturday night...Sounds like she had my Friday & Saturday night last weekend.Big 'N Tasty RPHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00166789789148254760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-13492990619913603602010-01-18T12:22:26.699-05:002010-01-18T12:22:26.699-05:00CYA.

A CASE. And then he started working his way through the second one. I was seriously surprised that a person could do that. He may have ingested a fifth during that time too. He weighed about 350 lbs. I wonder if he's still alive. He was only 40 or so at the time.....
