[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could not look at the tongue laceration with all the blood. Including the repair. I had to cover the screen. [/quote]

It was two in the afternoon, she was blackout drunk early in the afternoon on the Fourth? [/quote]

This didn't seem weird to me because both she and her friend were obviously big partiers and day drinking is a BIG thing for certain demographics, especially on holidays. Bottomless brunch, you know.

Also the doctors were clearly alarmed by her level of inebriation and even talked about recommending rehab programs because of the amount of drinking she was talking about and the fact that she was blacking out. Yes, that conversation existed more to give Santos and Langdon a chance to exchange meaningful looks over the word "rehab" but the show was also portraying realistic drinking behavior in context.

Certain demographics being skanky hos?[/quote]

I mean, yes. But not limited to them.

My work commute takes me past those two Irish pubs near judiciary square, and I always know when it's St. Patrick's day because there will be a line around the block at 8:30am when I walk by. Wouldn't be shocked if one of those people wound up in the ER with a stupid drinking injury at 2pm.[/quote]

Also March Madness, college basketball from morning to night. [/quote]

Yep. These, plus the summer Big 3 (Memorial Day, the 4th, and Labor Day) are probably some of the biggest day drinking days of the year. Realistic that you'd see patients with drinking-related issues much earlier in the day on those days.

And to be honest, when I was in grad school (where drinking culture was really excessive and unhealthy) we'd use ANY excuse to start drinking before noon. The Kentucky Derby (gotta get to the bar early to get a good spot to watch), Sunday football, end of exams, someone's birthday. Once a group of us decided to go to the new Fogo de Chao on like a random Friday, just because we had not been, and for some reason we went for lunch. They do an all day happy hour there, so we were definitely all several drinks in by like 1pm. Granted, in that case at least we were also consuming a ton of food. But the point is, daytime drinking injuries are NOT as uncommon as a people who don't have unhealthy relationships with alcohol might think, and especially on a holiday where drinking is more encouraged than at other times.[/quote]
