Greg Giraldo Overdosed

Sad news, I just thought I would link it because it is kind of topical with the show. Currently in critical condition according to the link.

Update: He's passed away.

This sucks, but I don't get this...
"It was an accidental overdose, and he is in critical condition..."
How does one accidentally overdose on prescription pills? Does one think, "Oh, a handful isn't enough. Tonight I go for two handfuls!"

"Ooops, that's too many..." Falls to the ground.

I'm sure there was some alcohol and cocaine in his system at the time

I think calling it accidental just means it wasn't a suicide attempt, but rather an attempt to get fucked up.

I get that, but putting that much crap in your system at once says something, doesn't it?

not necessarily. especially with someone who may have been relapsing...he may simply have taken a dose that his body once was able to handle, but having been clean so long he lost his tolerance. if i took a handful of vicodin, i'd probably die. some people can take a handful of vicodin for breakfast, wash it down with a 40 and snort a line before work with no problem.

...or whatever it might have been. i like vicodin, so that is my example. :P
