Lol, Thats likely why his Doctor 'authorized' the use of alcohol (with meals) to prevent withdraw/ seizures during his recovery/ convalescence. EDIT: I recall some article on the Queen Mother while she was still alive of her daily alcohol intake - from the moment she got till the time she went to bed she was drinking (a single glass - presumably) at every meal and snack time. They had all the usual drinks she liked to consume daily and had done for years, iirc something like strating the day with an alcoholic fruit juice/ aperitif with breakfast, a cocktail fizz with morning tea, some champagne or wine at lunch, a gin with afternoon tea, champagne or wine at dinner and port/ sherry as a night cap - no wonder she always had that old lady wobble when standing still at functions and parades - soozled !!
