IV alcohol is still being used today. I used it often when I did trauma surgery rotation. After major trauma surgery, you have enough surgical issues postop, without having to add alcohol withdrawl. I've also seen beer used in the cardiac floors after bypass surgery. My wife used to work in inpatient pharmacy and most hospitals do stock beer and wine (I don't think hard liquor) to be used on doctor's orders. “mid-1980′s”? IV alcohol is still being used today.
