Toxicological trivia from June 10, 2010: Australian doctors in October 2007, have kept an Italian tourist alive by feeding him vodka through a drip for three days, medical staff in Queensland say.

Doctors set up the drip after running out of medicinal alcohol, used as an antidote to the poison. Medical staff said the patient had made a full recovery, and the hangover had worn off by the time he woke up. He had been taken to hospital in the northern Queensland town of Mackay after swallowing:
a) Ethylene glycol;
b) Methanol;
