There were suggestions that he may have been drunk, although Nakagawa says that a potent mixture of flu medication and a glass of red wine were the cause of his problems.
(Ed's note - 'Mind you, you couldn't blame Nakagawa if he had had one too many - would you if you were forced to spend the weekend listening to Tim Geithner talking a lot and saying absolutely nothing?!').
