It may sound counterintuitive, but new research suggests that people may be less likely to die following a brain injury if they have been drinking before the accident.

    since I am a major clutz and danger prone I wonder if I could get a doctors note saying I am to be under the influence at all times to ward off brain damage? HMMMMMMM

    I thought this was old news...
    It's pretty common that people who drank and have a car-crash survive with (minor) injuries, while the ones that not drank die or are severely injured...

    Seems like a defensible reason to get sauced before getting behind the wheel. :idea:

    Here's the problem. If you want to survive the accident get pissed before you get behind the wheel. If you want to avoid the accident in the first place, stay sober.
