Morning Sqad just wondering if you can offer a medical opinion on this one.
It was in the news that someone died sfter drinking a pint of gin straight and we were arguing about it in office. I said it could easily be lethal someone else said lots of people could handle it easy!
If you were to drink a pint of Gin straight, what would the mortality rate be?
I know it will be very subjective(and stupid!) but can you guess at how likely it would be to kill someone?

We were in a Spanish hotel and my husband was talked into trying a gin and tonic by my daughter. A tumbler was put in front of him, and he sat and drank it for about 45mins. When asked what he thought he replied that he thought it was a strong tasting drink, and we said that we disagreed. After tasting his drink we realised that he had been drinking neat gin, no tonic - the barman had forgotten to put it in - and not knowing the difference he just carried on drinking. By the time it was realised what had happened, there was just a tiny amount in the glass. He was very 'happy' that evening!
Reminded me of some great lines from "My Fair Lady"
Mrs. Eynsford-Hill: But it can't have been right for your father to be pouring spirits down her throat like that, it could have killed her.
Eliza Doolittle: Not her, gin was mother's milk to her. Besides he poured so much down his own throat, he knew the good of it.
Lord Boxington: Do you mean he drank?
Eliza Doolittle: Drank? My word something chronic.
Freddy Eynsford-Hill: The new small talk, you do it so awfully well.
Eliza Doolittle: Well if I was doing it proper, what was you sniggering at? Have I said anything I oughtn't?
