World
record hangover
UK
- Scottish doctors have diagnosed what may be the longest hangover .. in the history
of binge beer drinking.
A
37-year old man admitted himself into a hospital emergency room in Glasgow last
October .. complaining of wavy vision and a non-stop headache lasting four weeks.
British
journal The Lancet reports doctors were initially stumped by the symptoms .. because
the patient had no history of head injury or loss of consciousness .. and was
taking no medication.
But
when an eye specialist was called in .. it was found the man had developed a rare
condition caused by severe dehydration.
It
was revealed he'd consumed 60 pints .. or roughly 35 litres of beer over a four
day period .. following a domestic crisis.
After
more than six months of long-term blood-thinning treatment .. the man's vision
was restored to normal and the headache was finally gone.
