On his way out the door, Albert is handed a phamplet giving him instructions on how to prepare for cryo.  The time for actually being frozen isn't until around noon tomorrow, which is good, because the phamplet advises that anyone preparing for cryo should not have any alcohol in their systems (it freezes at a different temperature, which can complicate things) but to be properly hydrated before going under.

It should also not be attempted by the elderly, anyone who is pregnant, the severely injured, or those with heart conditions.
