The Scots of always had a reputation for heavy drinking, well now one of them has another dubious honour, the worlds longest hangover. A man walked into a hospital complaining that he had headaches and blurred vision and it had been going on for four weeks.The doctor did loads of test unitl they finnaly discovered that the man had drunk 60pints of beer (32 litres) in four days after an argument with his girlfriend. This had caused a very rare condition called cerebral venous sinus thrombosis , which only affects about four in every million people and most of those are children.
It's worth remembering this story as it will probably appear as a case for Dr House (SVT4)and his team in a few years time!

That's how we roll!
That's impressive. How is he still alive?
He survivied by having six months of blood thinning treatment to make the headaches go away.
Probably still drinks though..
