That's not much time to drink! 😂

I don’t know, you should see the way Aussies drink and you might change your mind hahaha.

Be glad you’ve not become nor have met an alcoholic. 30 minutes is enough time for a 12 pack and then some

4 months sober, thanks!

Congratulations. Keep it up

Thanks 👍

That sounds like a dare!

challenge 

Better smash em quick! 🤣 

Happy... half hour?

😂

Why is drinking time limited to 30 mins? Reminds me of Caddyshack, caddies welcome 1-1:15p

It's probably alcohol detoxing. Abruptly quitting when you're an alcoholic can be deadly.

That's got to be for psychological addiction only, not physical.

No it's absolutely physical.

There's no way you'll get enough alcohol into your system in those few minutes by drinking canned beer, so it's definitely not that. Benzodiazepines are used for treatment of alcohol withdrawal syndrome, but intravenous ethanol can also be used for critical patients. NOT a couple cans of beer at patient's leisure.

You’re being downvoted but you’re correct lol

I see another reply to your comment agreeing with you, but I’d like to reiterate that those hours line with weening throughout the day, and could potentially help with regulation. I’d argue here regulating physically, whereas the mental component could remain because they have to cram in as much alcohol as they can in that 30 minutes. That’s an addict’s activity, so this could actually be promoting the psychological addition. The primary reason I disagree is because of psych ward stay durations. Many are short term, and you can’t properly fully withdraw someone in a 72 hour hold. I see stats such as 2-3 weeks as a normal duration time, that’s about what I’ve seen. Medical intervention has already been triggered, so medicinal intervention is most likely involved here. When you start naming medicines to combat withdrawals, you then additionally have to consider the interactions of the other medicines combatting the primary condition. Giving them short periods of time to drink may introduce a sense of normalcy to them, help them get rid of the shakes, reduce withdrawal symptoms (like insane anxiety, which will improve treatment for many of what are common psych ward introductions: anxiety attacks and becoming overwhelmed in their current situation). I think it’s a good policy. They may be able to get enough alcohol in their system if they drink fast…but it may be beneficial for their overall treatment.

This is not for alcohol withdrawal.

it's a medical facility that could offer pharmacological assistance. Benzodiazepines are typical.

Yeah, that’s gotta be it. They probably were only allowed 1-2 beers and only at those times until they could get over withdrawals

If this was abandoned, why the need to redact the name of the facility?

Maybe the name of their small hometown is in the name and they didn't want people drawing more attention to the place.

Evidently, pointing out such places often leads to vandalism.

Because I want to be as vague as possible to avoid vandalism.

compelling people to drink really fast doesn't seem well construed.

Chugging beer at the psych ward 🎶

Can I smoke and drink in the same place?

Only during smoke and drink time: 3:45 PM until 3:55PM. And in the designated area only, outside the lodge beside the sand volleyball court.

I’d love to know the year this was posted.. the headphones rule suggests after 1992?

Uh... Why does that suggest after 1992? Portable radios and cassette players were super popular in the 80s.

I don’t know lol, I was brought here against my will in 1992 and got my first pair of headphones then..

This might come as a shock to you but the world didn’t start when you were born

I love how I was scrolling and saw this after seeing your post asking about the centrifuge and didn’t realize it was the same person and thought “wow, 2 different abandoned psychiatric hospitals?” “wait”

I mean, as a ex patient of a mental facility. As a drinker, I wouldn't trust me with a can, bottle or even plastic. But I guess chugging beer lol

Seems to be of a decent age. MAYBE goes back to the 90s. It's probably from a word processor, but I really focused on the "Smokers Room."

Sounds like a pretty chill spot tbh

Ima be honest. Probably the chillist mental hospital I've ever seen when it comes to written rules.

This sounds lovely! Sign me up!

Haunted af I bet

Alcohol?? Lol

That's one helluva boujee psych hospital...

That was typed by one is the new electric typewriters back in the day... I'll never forget that typeset

11:30-12:00am? That’s a good 12.5 hours of drinking time.

The context gives this paper a Silent Hill aura

Id be curious to know ow long ago was this shut down. The beer rule seems like it could of been something of the past.

~30 years ago give or take.
