SE4EP01 - This Is A Question

Anyone of you noticed that when House breaks into Wilson's hotel room (the whole TiVo incient), there's a 1l-bottle of white wine standing on Wilson's table?

Just wondered what that was for. Maybe it's different in New Jersey, but where I live you don't just have bottles of wine standing about. Also, it wasn't part of the plot, and the people who decorate the sets must have some idea about what they put where and why.

I just dunnow what Wilson needs that bottle for. This is bugging me since I saw the episode more than two weeks ago.

Ha, so true! And Wilson knows that of course, which means he is *intentionally* unresponsible.

Unless it's cooking wine, because the alcohol evaporates when you cook it. But then again, which single man cooks with wine in a hotel room?

P.S.: Btw, I know there are pills you shouldn't take with alcohol, what I don't know is what'd happen if you do it anyway.

ow that'd be a real killer, eh? But seriously, alcohol is a depressant. Wilson is talking anti-depressants to NOT be depressed. As a doctor he knows this. It'd be totally absurd, and OOC, to make him drink on anti-depressants.

Alcohol changes the way certain drugs work on your system. They can increase their effect or sometimes reduce it. Not sure why, might be the way the body receives the active agents? Either way, it's generally recommended not to. However, it doesn't exactly insta-kill you if you do it anyway. Like I often have a sleeping pill after I've head alcohol and I'm still fine (disclaimer: DON'T DO THAT! And I'm not a total druggy, okay). But there might be complications that can't be predicted, so it's generally better not to.

And in terms of the anti-depressants, like I said, it's because alcohol counteracts the desired effect of those drugs, so it's just plain stupid to drink while you're on them.

Tell me, is that Ford and Arthur in your icon?
