I open my beer with a BIC. The real trick to getting your beer open is to have a hard point to leverage the cap against, like the knuckle of your finger. With that, you could probably open your beer with your dick so long as your member could handle the pressure. It's a great party trick.

I was up very early this morning studying. At around 5 a.m. I heard someone mowing. Was I hallucinating because I kept nearly nodding off? No, it was clearly a lawnmower. I like to think that it was some care-free dude who got hammered and said, "gently caress it, you know what I need to do before I pass out for the day? Mow." [Insert something about Hank Hill here.]

I loving LOVE doing chores when I'm shitfaced. I've cleaned other people's houses and cooked legit meals from unfamiliar stuff I didn't know how to prepare while drunk. Some people are only good at pool or darts when drunk; I'm good at everything.

I own one so I can have a phone in the car for emergencies, but I have no reason to carry it around because I don't have friends and have never received an incoming call. Even if I started carrying it, not being able to look at my wrist for the time would drive me insane.

Wow. I've never heard of that, and I've worked with a lot of drug addicts/alcoholics... a quick Google search tells me that it is relatively unknown and has not undergone clinical trials with humans but that it may be effective in preventing acute intoxication/hangovers. I know what disulfiram (Antabuse) does and why it's given, but if you're gonna drink, why take something to block its effects? Interesting poo poo.

Because it blocks alcohol from acting in the brain, it's a candidate for further study as a drug to treat alcoholism. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it ends up prescription-only in the US because it actually does sober you up to some degree and inevitably some genius is going to take advantage of that to drive with a BAC well over the legal limit and hurt or kill someone.

Sobur is awesome, I didn't get a single hangover while they lasted. My bachelor tip is: take antidepressants, enjoy getting shitfaced for a lot less. No hangovers because you didn't really drink that much alcohol.

Straker posted:Really the other way around, someone perfectly sober (thanks to this drug) will have a high BAC and get pulled over for some random bullshit and have their life ruined thanks to MADD. You can already "drive with a BAC well over the legal limit and hurt or kill someone" by just, you know, drinking then driving This already happens with Tolerances. Someone with a high tolerance can have a BAC over the limit and feel/act perfectly sober.

Depending on what you take, you really gotta be careful with that poo poo. SSRIs are generally safe in combination with alcohol, despite the warnings to not drink at all. Mileage may vary on change of alcohol's effects. If you become excessively drowsy or if your respiratory rate slows down, stop drinking.

JEEVES420 posted:This already happens with Tolerances. Someone with a high tolerance can have a BAC over the limit and feel/act perfectly sober.  And as much as I'd love it if all the MADD bullshit and constitutional amendments were repealed (no, I don't have any DUIs) and DUIs actually required visible impairment and nobody cared about BACs, really, giving cops more discretion and autonomy (in general) isn't necessarily a good idea either. What I kind of don't get is why DUIs can't be dealt with with, you know, the entirety of the rest of traffic law - if an accident is your fault it's your fault whether or not you're sober, reckless driving is reckless driving, and if you do something particularly stupid and people die then it's still manslaughter at best. I'd like to assume that specific penalties for DUI were intended as some kind of societal "hey guys don't drink you might do something stupid and gently caress up your life by murdering an entire family" disincentive but then it is incredibly loving ironic to go and preemptively ruin people's lives over it. Anyway, I was worried that last post I made would get me dogpiled for seemingly encouraging drunk driving or something (which I wasn't, of course). I don't see how that drug could ever be trusted in that kind of scenario, it would be like trying to sober yourself up by doing a couple lines or something, even if it's awesome in a medical scenario or once you're home and done drinking for the night. thanks for not being lovely posters in this thread

I drove under the influence when I was 22, 23. I grew the gently caress up after that. Thankfully I never got pulled over. gently caress people who get DUIs. If you know you're going to be drinking, plan to crash at X destination or arrange for a cab. It's not hard to use your adult brain and figure these things out. When I drink, I stay put unless I have a ride. Period. I agree that 0.08 may be a bit low for us seasoned drinkers, and I am as safe a driver when buzzed as when sober, but a first-time drinker at .08 is most likely a danger on the road. Not arguing for or against the legal limit; I'm just saying, you know it's there, don't be a dumbass. And if you are a dumbass, you get what you deserve.

When I was in the military, I had a deeply religious supervisor and his 11ish year old daughter was deeply concerned about his other troop and I dying in a drinking and driving accident. It wasn't an "if" it happens it was a when.

BAC is easily quantifiable so it's used. Works well enough, too, since 0.08 will hit most people. Need to remember that objectivity makes it easier to enforce which is a great thing.

I typically get home on a bicycle. The cops camp outside of bars and try to hit everyone trying to walk home with public intoxication, but there's no way those tubby bastards are going to be able to pursue a BMX.
