    Good to remember too that alcohol and drugs don't mix well.

    Many well known and not so well known individuals have met their demise by mixing the two.

    I took a botttle of port into hospital with me to help my recovery. It was instantly condemned so had to be taken away again. I had to wait until I was home to have the occasional glass. It might have helped with the er.. blocking problem I had. Do take all lactulose etc which is offered to you. I'd never had a problem before.
