Jake walk crippling t o c p alcoholics
"Jake Walk" refers to a medical condition that arose from the consumption of alcohol contaminated with a toxic solvent, specifically methanol, during the early 20th century. This condition, also known as "Jake Leg" or "Jake Walk," caused severe neurological damage, leading to paralysis and other debilitating symptoms, particularly in the lower limbs.
The term is closely tied to a historical incident when a poorly made (and dangerous) form of alcohol was widely distributed, resulting in many people suffering from its toxic effects. The paralysis often affected walking, hence the name "Jake Walk," indicating the difficulty and awkwardness of movement.
