Doctors have finally proved a theory that has been debated for years: drinking alcohol can help you pass out.

In an experiment involving vodka, pyjamas and a trumpet, volunteers were filled up with booze until they felt the urge to lie down.

“No-one could have predicted the success of our research”, claimed Dr Richard Watson, who led the team of highly funded scientists.

“There could be some truth in the old wive’s tale “If you give him some booze, in a bed he will snooze.”

“But give him some more, and he’ll kip on the floor.”

Alcohol research

With a range of resting surfaces available to the testees, Dr Watson showed there was a direct correlation between how much alcohol was forced into a subject and where they would deign to lose consciousness.

I did extensive research on this subject in my teens and early twenties.

In fact, when I was doing National Service in Scotland in the late fifties, I finished Hogmanay down a manhole and woke up on 2nd January.

Happened to a guy in collage.

We got him real drunk, he had never touched a drop in his life.

Nobody missed him for a week, he had fallen and broken his arm and was in hospital.
