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.
