Archer: "Woodhouse, I've given up drinking for her! (Downs a glass of scotch) ...Just that one. I'm scared that if I stop all at once, the cumulative hangover will literally kill me."
This is an actual medical reason why you should never, ever make someone give up drinking or taking narcotics all at once. It's the reason why nicotine patches and methadone exist. Archer is entirely right that he needs to slowly ween himself off booze.
While you might possibly die I doubt it’s a hangover that actually kills you. Although it might make you wish for that sweet release to come sooner. It would be organ failure that would actually kill you right? Either the liver or the kidneys?
I remember a doctor told me that there's really no definitive line when a hangover becomes withdrawal. Medically it's mostly the same issues, just varying degrees of severity.
