Thinking about it, a pint of whisky at 43% is roughly 25 units of alcohol. The recommended allowance for a woman is 2-3 units a day. I do wonder if someone who drank 10 times that in a short time would not be unconscious or comatose, so maybe there is a little stretching of the truth in this story.
Oh no ... it was in the Daily Mail. It must be true!
