Do you think that you drink might have been 'doctored' in some way? To behave as you did after only 1 litre of voddie seems most unusual.
I hope you're being ironic Sandy. A litre of vodka is enought to kill. If Nath is able to down a litre of vodka and not die, that's an indication of his alcohol-dependence. Ok let's say the ugly word alcoholism.
Nath: drinking on the scale you describe is a death sentence. part of the pattern of drinking to this level is erratic / violent behaviour, out of character, in the lead up to a black-ouit accompanied by memory loss.
Instead of going on th defensive about what happened, why not sit with your legal advisor and one of the arresting officers and listen to a description of your behaviour? You can't remember it, but it's something the cops deal with (sadly) on a regular basis.
You simply aren't special enough for them to conspire against you. If they monitored your bloods and heartbeat it might have been because you were on the edge and might not have come round from this particular binge.
Think about this. Think about the company you're keeping. If boozing to oblivion, fighting, spiking each others drinks 'for a laugh' etc are their normal behaviour, all signs point to an unhappy outcome for you in the medium term.
It's a chance of a wake up call.
is it normal to wake up naked in a police cell?

...and you are worried about what?...a bit of bruising....Well..I guess that's the important bit. Sheesh!!
Don't worry about the charges, you need to be far more concerned about your drinking. From your description it looks likedly the police saved your life.
It would be normal for a nurse/ doctor to be called when someone was so drunk they were unconscious and in danger of dieing from inhaling their own vomit.
Have to agree with mosaic, if you don't remember a thing then you will have to accept what has been told to you by the police. Hopefully you won't drink so much again to get you into this state, this surely has to be a lesson and a not so good one healthwise for you unfortunately.
I once saw someone like you in a hospital accident department, completely unconcious on a bed. Over a period of several hours he was examined by various medics, then he woke up looked around, got up and walked out. What a waste of space. At the time my father was waiting for attention after a heart attack.
If you had the plastic pads still on you may have been taken to hospital ? ask them...you need to see a solicitor..also get copies of any medical reports that have been made on the night...don't know the legalities of taking blood whithout knowledge or permission...you need to see someone before you go to court..
Right, you will have to take every thing they tell you as truth - you were under the influence of severe intoxication. We see people like you week in week out on tv and on the street, drink to oblivion and cant remember what happened. As for attacking a copper i hope they throw the book at you, probably wont you will probably get a fine for the D+D and possibly a section 5 public order offence. You will also be made to pay a victim surcharge to the police officer. The red spots where probably due to oxygen not flowing properly becuase you had drunk so much your body had started to shut down. Waking naked, they stripped you so you couldnt do yourself any harm, a drunken person is an unknown quantity. The nurse was called because you were drunk, and its there duty of care to get you seen to especially as you passed out-they need to rule out a medical reason before classing you as intoxicated. your dead leg may well be from you resiting arrest, possibly a trapped nerve, and if you resisted arrest they can you use adequate force to bring you under control and safe put down techniques.
Hi

"i will be attending court what charges am i looking at? "

See page 19 of attached link for sentencing guidelines for offence of Assault on a police constable in execution of his duty:

http://sentencingcoun...ine_-_Crown_Court.pdf
And, page 55 of the attached for Drunk Disorderly in Public

http://sentencingcoun...ate_1__2__3_4_web.pdf
you ask what charges you will be looking at but you have already stated what you have been charged with - it is those charges you will be facing.
the reason they took a heart tracing and you saw a nurse was because you were so ***, you could have died (from your drinking, not because the police tried to kill you). it sounds like they really looked after you.
on another note (not that you've asked) but if drinking 1 ltr of vodka in one night is usual for you, you really need some help for your drinking. You are drinking more in 1 night than a man is supposed to drink in a week.
I want to know where he got the litre bottle of vodka for only £10 from
I can't comment on possible charges etc. but I agree that the level of consumption you indicate is suicidal.
Regarding the erratic behaviour, are you sure of the vodka? If it was fake it may have contained strange chemicals which caused your behaviour.

btw i am not an alcoholic, this is the 1st time i have drank in a long time i used to smoke weed and if i went out then i would have sniff but i have quit because i wanted to see the better side of life and sort my head out but this caused me to spend a night in the cell lol...forgot to mention that i shared a few glasses of vodka with a friend.. and i didnt vommit until i left the police station and was walking home would it be best to see a duty soliciter or any other kind of soliciter?
Lambert-Butler , Tesco sell a 750 ml bottle of own lable Vodka for under £8, so do all the other big supermarkets. I have seen own brand litre bottles for £9.99 or possibly £10.25 .
probably weed and sniff are better for you than all that vodka!
if you wanna see "the better side of life" (or any life outside of a hospital/cell) stop drinking
yep, sounds like a spiked drink! and be glad they did monitor your heart ... heart failure can be a result of alcohol poisoning! x
-- answer removed --
Just a thought Nath - if you were to be apologetic and ask for substance abuse counselling you might find your court appearance goes much better than accusing the police of medical intervention without authority.
