Carsten knew he only had hours left to live – so he spent his final moments with his family in front of the sunset, with cigarette and wine in hand.

I’ve always been puzzled by restrictions placed on terminal patients in hospitals, nursing homes, and other similar venues. It seems so inconsequential – and as we see here, potentially even a final gift – to allow the dying their vices on the way out. When my time comes, a little coffee vodka, please, or if available perhaps some Advocaat.

I should have known that this didn’t happen in this country….I’ve even heard of cases where an American doctor wouldn’t allow painkillers to terminally ill patients because they ‘might get addicted’
Rene says
Advocaat sounds delicious and worthy of a “last drink”. Thanks for introducing us to it. Leo.
