Best Medical Booze aboard
 

What do you think would be the best medical booze to have onboard for
emergencys? Like a hook in the hand, a few stitches, setting a broken
arm
ect...

I wish I had used the bacarrdi 151 instead of waiting and going to
the hospital ER late at night when I had a hook in my thumb, the hook
entered at the quick and wanted to poke out of the knuckle but did not
break thru the skin, i tried like hell to pull it on thru but couldent
get it thru because the pain almost made me passout, seems booze is an
excellent way to ignore pain in a fix. The ER shot it up with novacane
and used pliers to pull it thru. 385 dollars. If your a few days
offshore with a simple accident a bottle would be nice

151 is strong but whats better?

Were is ol Thom when ya need him.........

Peppermint Schnaps,

Dont think so, you would be sick before numb.

Wild Turkey,
Maybe, but really not enough kick.


or any decent rum.

Yeah, but getting numb fast might require 151 or better.

a Snowshoe... you need two to walk.

It's damn hard to take more than one, but after the second,
you can't remember what the problem was....

Joe,

Wasn't going to answer that one but as you asked:---

I keep a 1/2 Gal of medium priced Canadian Whisky in the Nav Station
Locker. All my crew know its there but I don't allow a free bar while
sailing.

I'm the only one allowed to pour under way (Been known to sweeten coffee
now and then) That is my boat booze and when the boat is docked and put
to bed, the bottle is fair game for a single round and other than that
its only for emergences. It is unbelievable how many poisonous snaes get
aboard that damn vessel!!!

That was supposed to be snakes.

Jon,

My rule for drinking is: "Like tits on a woman; One not enough and three
to many."

Let's; "Drink to That!"

Wuss!

I keep an open bottle of Smirnoff, and an open bottle of Capt. Morgan,
and all the beer the cooler will hold. Any of the crew can help
themselves to whatever they want. And I've won more racing trophies
than anyone here.

Good man, Horvath! I was beginning to think that all Americans were wimps.

I keep various drinks aboard.... I don't encourage the consumption of
alcohol whilst underway, but once we are tied up I expext the crew to
"relax". When I say "relax" I do *not* mean one or two drinks. I mean
that we stay up until the small hours, solving the world's problems.
