Hi Kronckew,

Yup, one beer in the evening would be nice, even in a clinic, but I'm afraid they won't.
In Bavarian hospitals, doctors have grown especially worried about alcoholism among the patients. When you go there, the first thing they will do is check your blood for alcohol. If they find some remainders you're stigmatized.

Luckily, I can go without alcohol for months, I had to for more than a year of hospitalzation in 2012-13 without the slightest problem. Apart from that, every now and then friends of mine will come and see me and bring some beloved dark beer. You won't find beer in the drinks machine of an infirmary, though.

To me the hardest time will be doing without a computer - and the forum.

Best wishes to all of you,
and do keep the forum going strong!
Michael
