Are you safer a bit wobbly and accident-prone, or sober but vulnerable?

I'll take sober but vulnerable. Though it does make you think there's an upside to everything really.

A new study from Jama's Archives of Surgery reports that <A href="http://archsurg.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/abstract/141/12/1185">light to moderate drinking will reduce your chance of dying if you happen to suffer a massive head trauma</A>. The study originally set out to prove that drinking increases head-injury mortality (and apparently it does slightly, if you're really drunk), but the data ended up showing that if you’re going to take a steel-toed boot to the skull, it’s best to get a few shots of Jager in you first. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2006/12/another_reason_.html"><P>Of course, the researchers point out that if you have a few shots of Jager in you, you’re much more likely to end up taking a steel-toed boot to the skull. That makes it a bit of a catch 22: Are you safer a bit wobbly and accident-prone, or sober but vulnerable? I know which way I'm betting. Pass the Jager.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/0C96D9AE-CF49-48AB-B736-64FE869E7C5D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
