B-b-b-but I thought that big, tough, lean, mean, cunning Sheriff Joe was gonna put a stop to shenanigans like this?

timmy_the_tooth: You know, I totally read this headline and thought you were talking about the handgun.

So, I'm thinking, "What's a 'smooth' 40 cal? Smooth barrel? What's going on here, why is he 'blowing' his 40 cal?"

I was disappointed that it's just another alcoholic story

Blowing a .40 doesn't make a man an alcoholic

.40 and still walking, that's almost applause worthy.

bwampler: Blowing a .40 doesn't make a man an alcoholic

Nope. Alcoholics go to meetings.

BTW, no one actually uses the "Breathalyzer ^(TM)" any more.

jake_lex: At .40, you're probably in a coma.

No, not always.

By the time you're made to do the monkey tricks, the touch your nose, there's a foregone conclusion you're going to jail. The monkey tricks is part of their body of evidence if you dare fight the charge. The video is viewed as attached to the police report, but those are almost. unfailingly a pack of lies.

bwampler: Blowing a .40 doesn't make a man an alcoholic

or a size queen.

What a lightweight, you're not really drunk until you have missing hours and haven't passed out.

Behold the new King of Fark.

looks like Rob Riggle after a night out:

pussy (new window)

And to be sure, start drinking early, and often enough, you can adapt to having that much booze in your bloodstream. Called "professional drunks". The type of people who will literally die if they stop cold-turkey.

medius: brigid_fitch: .40 BAC? How is he not dead? I don't think even serious alcoholics can have a .40 and still function.

Not true. I've hit .50 before.

Yes, my blood was 1 proof.

math fail, you would have to blow four times that amount to be 1 proof.

/also breathalizer fail

Stay Cool Babylon: The toxic shock the next day, however, made wish that I really was dead. I don't mean that figuratively. I actually wished that death would take me into his embrace.

thanks for describing my day

/no more drinking

Uh, math fail FOR YOU. 0.5% alcohol is 1 proof, same way 40% alcohol whisky is 80 proof

i'll have what he's having

brigid_fitch: .40 BAC? How is he not dead? I don't think even serious alcoholics can have a .40 and still function.

My ex-fiance scored a .40 in hospital once before she moved in with me. I'm told that she could still stand and walk, but not especially well.

She scored a .38-something in hospital whilst living with me. She made it down the stairs from our second story flat, down the gangway, through the gate, and went splat on the sidewalk. Two units of saline and a few hours' rest, she called me to pick her up.

More recently, the police got her with .352 (plus THC) after she flipped her car, crashed it into a house, and setting the house alight from the car's flames. I managed to get her two years probation, 40 hours community service, and a total of about $2K for fine, court costs and fire service reimbursement. She had a prior, but it was more than ten years ago.

What makes her scores even more impressive is that she is no small gal. It took a lot of boose to bring her BAL up that high.

oops. my math fail. you're right .5 is 1 proof.

Who is .40 and why was he giving him a blowjob?

Working in an Emergency Department, I see these functional drunks all the time. A .4 BAC is definitely impressive, but it's nothing compared to the 0.67 and 0.54 that I saw a few months ago. It was a father (0.67 BAC) and son (0.54 BAC) who went Wyatt Earp on each other and got into a shotgun fight over a beer...son takes father's beer, father approves not, father shoots son with shotgun, father gets depressed that he just Cheney'd his son, turns shotgun on himself, misses, lands in my ER with his prize winning alcohol level.

Ha. Oh well, off to get drunk.

Came here to see if anyone else thought he looks like Patrick Wharburton.

Yea he looks passably sober...but dollars to donuts you could hit him in th eface with a shovel and his expression wouldn't change.

He looks...numb.

Booboopriss: Came here to see if anyone else thought he looks like Patrick Wharburton.

Dang it... spelled his name wrong... "Warburton".

I'd hit it

Pics or GTFO.

It's so hot here, BAC don't meant shiat.

asmodeus224: He looks...numb.


comfortably numb?

Bonanza Jellybean: Separated at birth?

I'm sheltered....who is the one on the right?


Damn. just. Damn. I would do illegal things to/with him.

Re: .40---I thought the same thing, caliber-wise.

Re: Alcoholic---who says he's an alcoholic? Might've been his first time.

You chicks and/or gay guys are kinda creeping me out.

/Double standard. Yes, I have it.

huh.

I will have to watch 300 some day.

I'll hit .40 tonite.

Hot

The home testers are often less accurate than the "official" ones, which have their own issues. However, I believe if you blow a .50 on a road-side stop you have legal right to climb onto the hood of the police car, raise your arms and shout, "I have PROOF!"

+1 doesn't come close to doing that justice. Bravo, sir.

prickle27: You chicks and/or gay guys are kinda creeping me out.

Come on, no horrible tats makes him a standout here. Much better than our usual choices.

Work in a detox facility. Patients come in plastered for admissions. I record their BAC. Our record is a walking .62, a .40 isn't even a call to the hospital for medical clearance anymore...

I ran a BAC on an alcoholic back in the late 70's popped for DWI.
If anyone remembers the old S&W "dial a drunk" BAC machines,
he "looked" sober, but popped a .37
"Sober" I bet alcoholics would show some level of alcohol in their system.

brigid_fitch: .40 BAC? How is he not dead? I don't think even serious alcoholics can have a .40 and still function.

Good thing the cops opted for a blood test after that reading. Something like that would most likely have been thrown out of court.

Diogenes: He's kinda hot. Probably easy to take advantage of now, too.

How YOU doin'?

/cut/jib, etc.

.40 Damn . . . Meh we can forgive him he's hittable.

zulius: I live 5 minutes from that intersection so I'm really getting a kick...

/.4? Whatever...
//Still a reject for drinkin' @ 1PM :p

Pretty sure he was drinking loooong before 1pm.

Interesting that you still keep tabs on her

Stay Cool Babylon: Lol.

I've hit the neighborhood of .4 on one of those civilian testers. I was nowhere close to dead. In fact, I was lucid enough to remember taking the test. The toxic shock the next day, however, made wish that I really was dead. I don't mean that figuratively. I actually wished that death would take me into his embrace. Christ, easily the worst hangover ever. And I've been to Tijuana. Twice.

Either that tester is off or you have one hell of a tolerance. In college, I drank 15 shots of vodka (basically the whole bottle) in a half hour. I remember absolutely nothing after drinking the first 5 shots and had to go to the ER to get my stomach pumped. My blood test BAC was 0.29.

I like to start my day with a couple of shots of Jager. For breakfast, I have a couple of beers and if there's time, eggs. Then, it's off to work. You need a lot of energy to compete in this work a day world, so I usually stop off for a smoothie. Plenty of vitamin and a couple of dollops of Jack Daniels to start the job.

I need to keep my edge, so when every one else stops for coffee, so do I. I like to Irish it up. Couple of cups and a couple of shots and I'm back to work.

Lunch? I don't get bogged down with all that food. You spend the whole afternoon just trying to process it. A nice buffet of some regional beers gives you plenty of energy. Just drop a shot of Vodak in to a couple of them.

Later, I'm in that afternoon meeting and everyone is looking down. I'm fresh and rarin' to go. A little hard cider gives me that afternoon rush.

Right after work. I head to the Gym. I mean Jim. As in Jim's bar. A couple of twelve ounce curls gives the guns a workout. Then I move on the the 24 ounce curls behind the 7/11.

In the evening, I dine like a pauper. Mad Dog 2020 or Boones farm. Then, assuming I haven't been arrested or found passed out on the cross town bus, it is a relaxing evening in front of the TV. I have a drinking game to make TV interesting: Every time there's a commercial that wants to sell me something, I take a shot of Everclear.

Of course, I end my day the same way I start it. A couple of shot a Jager and it's off to dreamland. I just hope those bugs don't eat my skin tonight. Maybe a couple of sips of cognac will keep them away.

benlonghair: Here it is. He had a .491 and was driving.

He should have gotten a MADD trophy or something for that. A ribbon at least.
