Interesting case. Length and date good. However, hook could be slightly changed to omit 3 litres quantity as it is not specifically mentioned as such in hook refrences; ref 5 says "enough sherry" and reference 6 mentions "two large bottles of sherry". Alt 1 hook could be ... that an alcoholic Texas man, who had difficulty ingesting alcohol due to a painful throat ailment, died in 2004 after receiving an alcohol enema of two large bottles of sherry from his wife.--Nvvchar. 05:42, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
- Well, ref 4 does say the following: "Turner said police think Warner gave her husband at least two large bottles of sherry, which is stronger than wine, in the enema. 'We're not talking about little bottles here,' Turner said, 'These were at least 1.5-liter bottles.'" But since this statement is not necessarily factually precise, I support your version and will change it. Plot Spoiler (talk) 22:22, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
Original hook modifications good to go.--Nvvchar. 02:22, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
