In a somewhat paradoxical finding, being intoxicated on alcohol could help you survive a traumatic injury, according to a study to be published in the December issue of the journal Alcohol.


Punchline, though

However, consuming alcohol to protect against injury is hardly a prudent strategy, since drinking is itself associated with an increased risk of being injured.
