update on my nephew who had half a shot of tequila & tabasco and barfed... [View All]

[bertha katzenengel]

for a day and a half

He was at ER, got two bags of fluids, was sent home to barf it out of his system.

The older heads (his parents, my other sister) decided that maybe he barfed initially because of the drink, but that the extended illness had to be due to something else. No idea what, but it makes sense to me. He visited Mrs. V. and me in Maryland three years ago and the same thing happened, including the trip to the ER, then to the 24-hour pharmacy for suppositories. (Thank god he already knew how to use them.)

This was his very first drink of alcohol; he turned 21 last week. I still don't know why he chose that ungodly concoction for his first drink. :shrug: We're all hoping it puts him off alcohol forever.

Anyway, thanks to everyone who responded to last night's thread. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x4594497 I appreciate your weighing in - and i'm glad to know that drink is called "prairie fire."
