I mean, I can understand a beer or two but over the limit is stupid.

Also I don't know the difference or legalities because I'm sure it's based by state but is driving under the influence and driving while intoxicated same? Like one only if it goes over the legal limit?

The classifications of laws are loving weird. Assault is yelling at someone, assault with intent to commit bodily harm is the same as "I'm going to gently caress your poo poo up farmboy," while assault consummated by battery is the actual act of whatever intended for harm.

It's all misleading and I am not being apologetic to her situation in anyway, I'm just curious. I know Britain has some of the same things.

Edit: yes I know alcohol affects people differently so it's very possible she had just "1 or 2" and made that point.

Picking up children is relevant because I don't think that's a smart choice on her part. The time isn't because no one tells me how to party. 4/27 just blaze.

Ex-Premier League players Carlos Tevez, Dirk Kuyt and Gabriel Heinze have been named by hackers Fancy Bears as three of the footballers cleared to use banned medicines at the 2010 World Cup.

The trio were among 25 players given Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs) during the tournament in South Africa.

In its latest leaked documents, the Russian hacking group also claims 160 players failed drugs tests in 2015.

Four of the failed tests were registered by UK Anti-Doping (Ukad).

Three players tested positive for cocaine, and one for ecstasy.

This is the first time Fancy Bears hackers have released details about TUEs in football.

Tevez, now 33, was playing for Manchester City during the World Cup in 2010 having moved from Manchester United the previous year.

His former Argentina team-mate Heinze, 39, was playing for French club Marseille, having previously spent three seasons at Old Trafford.

Dutchman Kuyt, 37, was at Liverpool.

There is no suggestion any of these footballers have done anything wrong.

Who used what during the 2010 World Cup?

Tevez, Heinze and former Manchester United and Argentina midfielder Juan Sebastian Veron were prescribed betamethasone - a corticosteroid with a variety of uses. It does not feature directly on the World Anti-Doping Agency's (Wada) prohibited list, but is banned depending on the strength of the dose used.

Kuyt, who retired from football in May, used dexamethasone, apparently for pain relief because of tooth problems.

Germany international Mario Gomez needed salbutamol, which is a common asthma medication.

Ex-New Zealand, Blackburn and QPR defender Ryan Nelsen, who is listed as 'Nelson' on the published form, declared the use of prednisone, another corticosteroid.

There were no England players among the 25 names released by Fancy Bears.

Those really are all just therapeutic drugs though. When I had tendinitis I had the same corticosteroid and it just helps inflammation heal faster. It really seems like much ado about nothing. I guess aside from the few uses of coke and E but those are obviously recreational and wouldn't have any positive effect on performance.

Can you not see any way that helping inflammation heal faster would benefit a professional footballer?

Dude?
Sure but why would healing inflammation faster than no medication be considered cheating? Inflammation isn't part of the game, so healing injuries faster seems like proper treatment. I dunno. I don't see how it gives any sort of advantage since it's just used to heal an injury.

I know Americans are terminally retarded about doping but you should probably investigate what happens to people who dope heavily for a long time and how different people have different boosts from doping.
