Nice way to practice medicine, too. Most of the hospitals down here in the South are church rooted establishments so I doubt a drop of beer comes past the food service supply dock.

I was hospitalized for two months for a hernia over here in Japan some years back . The hospital had a convenience store right next door to it . Once I was able to walk around , some of my patient friends and I would walk on over to the store and buy beer and sake and bring it back to our rooms . We even had a couple of parties in the lounge area at night when only a few young nurses were around . In fact they used to join us ! Of course the hospital had a NO ALCOHOL rule , but it was very loosely enforced . Now if a Doc had found beer in my room , I would have been chided . ;)
