I had a friend snort vodka one time. He woke up in the middle of the night with a bloody pillow from a nasty nosebleed. Good times.

Affirmative on the c-spine

no idea on scene. in the truck, the lowest i saw was 22 and highest 48, probably averaged around 29-32

I also used a credit card as my second form of ID.
