Hmmm. I was aware that alcohol can stop one's hand from shaking, but so
far I thought that this only works for hands of people addicted to
alcohol.
Makes me a bit uneasy to think that this is standard in operating rooms
around the globe. I always thought those people's hands do not shake in
the first place...

One of these days, I will perform a detailed and long test series and
let you know the result ;-)
