My understanding is that one of the biggest difficulties in studying the brain activity of an alcoholic is that they are not able to see the mind at work. Is there a way to give my body for live specimen research?

No hun, I don't need free drinks. I just figured someone may as well get some use out of this life of mine. But thx for noticing me. I was getting lonely.

I refuse to answer under the grounds that when you sober up you won't remember asking it.

Newspapers in the larger cities . . . especially the larger cities (Baltimore's City Paper comes to mind) always have a few pages of ads requesting people to participate in medical research experiments -- testing new drugs, procedures, etc. Get in touch with one of these -- make sure it's a major, legitimate hospital/research facility -- and best wishes.

No,they will take you now ,pay some,and tatoo you so when you do die ,they'll know to keep you .That's what winos do to make some extra cash.Go for it 'Foster Brooks'.
As far as being a live specimen ,maybe you are a petrie dish full of bacteria already?

I think you have to be dead to actually donate your body, but you are free to volunteer for tests and trials!

You could arrange to donate you body like registering to donate organs.

a brief explaination on the procedure.
Usually medical school may have information on what to do (paper work etc).
Ask about "cadavers"
