I will ask the doctor and nurse but expect the same asnwer on the OCF web site. Only used approved formulations etc
since the alcohol would not touch my mouth , has anybody here done this? One friend who just came back from Mexico swears he met people there who do Tequila shots this way
Always looking for the positive side

Believe half of what you see and nothing of what you hear ..

You can put any liquid in your PEG tube.... without being judgmental, I guess the question I personally would have, is why would anyone want to do tequila shots so bad that they would care to.

When Rob was in the hospice,the nursing staff offered to give him brandy down his peg,he declined because he could still swallow liquids.One evening when he was very upset by the reaction of his childhood friends at a party and he couldn't take anything by mouth,he had a large brandy via his peg.I will not comment on the rights and wrongs of these actions as i am sure there are many here who will jump right in with their opinions,as they did at the time i posted this two years ago.All i can say is of course you CAN take alcohol via the peg tube wether or not you WANT to is entirely your (or the person who does)own personal choice.

I was once discussing mouthwashes with alcohol with my oral surgeon, the biopsy guy, and said, "In summary, you don't care if I shoot alcohol into my veins as long as I don't put it into my mouth?" -- He looked at me kind of strangely, and then said that was right.

At that time, I hadn't yet been introduced to a PEG

thank you. Coming from you, your "non-judgemental" response means a lot to me. You are too tactful to say I am just foolish or pre-alcoholic or driven by some inner demon, although at periods of my life I have been all of the above at once. No, it is meaningful to me because I know if there were demonstrated adverse effects, or tube disolving, or whatever, you would know about it and share that knowledge.
My personal reason is equisitely simple, I have always had a Dionysian personality instead of Appollonian. Or as the french say:"Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler"

Let 'em jump in - now that I am about to become a PEGster (true to form the last two years Georgetown Radiology has had tow "schedule delays" so now for late afternoon), Iintned to rock that boat too. evertbody has oinions, there just not as valid, insightful, nor cosmologically significant as mine. (I am a Legend in my own mind)
I hope Rob enjoyed his brandy
thank you for sharing, now I have to track down that thread

C'mom Pete, being coy does not become you. since you have gotten the Peg, have you had a drink?
You can PM me like others have done who fear the opprobrium laded posting reponses if they go public. I'm a man, what do I care?

I clean my PEG with 7-up or Pepsi and I can't even imagine the amount of bubbles if I put a beer in there!! I would imagine that the effects might be faster as I notice that they are with some of my meds.
