>I assume he is supplied with nutrients via a tube and cannot swallow, so probably not You can definitely still experience alcohol. There was a GQ article about Richard Norris, recipient of a face transplant, who went to the store and got himself some Wild Turkey which he ingested via a tube to his stomach. > He reaches into the brown bag, pulls out a bottle of Wild Turkey. [...] "For my throat," he says. He can’t take over-the-counter medications, he says. Too risky with his meds. There’s a backpack at his feet.
