Drinking and Wheeling

[Shifty*EBP*]

Have I told you I loved you lately Kev? :kiss: :flipoff:

You did, but you were hard to understand with my **** in your mouth, and buy a new razor, your stubble is chaffin my nuts when you throat me.

I am with the drinking crowd then...

I always pack the following into my soft sided cooler on a trail run:

4 PBR's (Busch lite is a decent substitute)
2 Rockstars
4 Bottled waters

I usually will have one (weather permitting) if there is a loooong trail breakage or break taken. With all the levers, bling switches, and gizmo's in my rig, coupled with having no cup-holders...I don't drink while operating the rig. Again if we have to stop for more than 10-15 minutes...PFFFFFSSSSTTT open goes the tata...

I like beer, I like the flavor, the way the bubbles make me feel inside, and I like the aftertaste. One thing some of you are forgetting is the amount of calories that are in a beer. I will drink a beer when I am distance swimming because it gives me a quick low sugar calorie fix...without filling me. If I think I am going to have to be doing a lot of getting in and out of the rig/winching/strapping...down goes a beer.

If I don't feel like having a beer, I don't drink one...I will grab one of the Rockstars...or a water.

Like EBP mentioned...I too know the group I wheel with...they know me...Sometimes I don't even get a chance to have a beer because there are no stops...

If that means I can't wheel with some of you hypocrites...then ohhh well... then :hi: when my one beer drinking ass goes by.

 

[Mrs. Crash]

There are a lot of people out there that can't understand the draw to drinking beer vs water or pop or whatever. in...

That's cause there is a difference between how beer affects you and how water affects you :rolleyes:

Those who are saying that you shouldn't drink on a trail. Know it's ause beer or any alcohol alters you. Water does not.

What about Busch Lite? That's just canned water... :D

 

[archer1965]

I like drinking on the trail. Now I DO NOT GET DRUNK while wheelin but I will drink all day.

I find it hard to believe you can drink all day on the trail and have zero alcohol effect? :wtf:
I like beer too, love the microbrews, but I'm not about to tell anyone I could down one beer an hour on the trail and not be affected. :rolleyes:

Welcome to the world of alcohol tollerance... I wish I could be a cheap date but it just ain't the case :rolleyes: Yer gonna need to bring a full pocketbook to get those like me "drunk" :redneck:

Wish it were different... But it just isn't in the cards for me...

 

[zip1]

:beer: setting up camp :beer: sitting around the fire :beer: no driving and no firearms, been there done that. I've even been the DD on our annual STAG run, now those were a HOOT :clappy: wish I had a video for those runs

 

[Little Red Zuk]

I tend not to, for a couple of reasons. I'm less than big, so alcohol jumps on me faster. I remember before I was wheelin' and just riding dirt bikes, I would have liquid refreshments, and then tended to get wayyy to brave. I do wheel with guys who drink on the trail sometimes, but it isn't for me. If I see them doing something stupid, I will call them on it.

Besides, the beers I drink all come in bottles, and I don't like the clinking as I roll over.

 

[Roccrawler]

I drank and wheeled in the past, but now the stuff I try I need a clean head for and quick reflex's. It would be suicide now days.......:cool:

If I'm camping and having a few around the fire we get an occasional itch and go for a mellow cruz after hours..
But not smashed

I wont lie :flipoff:

that's flat-out BS, dude. :haha:

I'm not trying to start any chit with ya, but I call em how I see em.

alcohol effect is a physical formula of weight, alchohol content, and time. I don't care who you are or how "alcohol tolerant" you think you are, put enough alcohol in your bloodstream and you will be affected.

 

[StormTrooper]

Gas and Alcohol should not mix, unless your using E85...

 

[GrandZJ]

I am still working on my keg mounting bracket's for the rear of the jeep:flipoff: just kidding I will have a few but not go overboard as I know I will have to wait untill completly sober to drive on the road's to get home.

If you put enough... :flipoff:

[GRNTACO]

I am soooooo glad I quit drinking.........some of these arguements are scary.:stirpot:

One thing that no one will debate is if you have been drinking your reflex actions will not be as acute as if you hadnt been drinking. Troy said it best, the type of wheeling we do you need to be on your A game as the wrong move=something bad can happen. I have a buddy that drinks all day on the trail, and I cannot tell he is smashed but he will even admit reaction times are greatly affected. Just because you have a high tolerance, doesnt mean your actions wont be affected.

The legal limit is still .08 so that means it is legal to drink and drive until you exceed that limit.

No sir, it isn't legal. The limit is simply the limit at which the law says you are too intoxicated no matter who you are.

Do I exceed that limit on the trail?. probably.

So not only do you admit you drink and drive on the trail, you admit you drive legally drunk on the trail?

Bottom line is everyone handeles their beer differently, there are those who should not have one, like gashypoo:flipoff: others who can have one or 2 ab=nd then and be done, or those who can casualy drink with minimal effect

This is EXACTLY why you can still get a DUI with a BAC UNDER 0.08%. Thank you for proving my point to you. Everyone handles it differently.

As for Nuzzy talking about drinking all day and not getting drunk, also not really possible, but not for why you think (here is another example as to why you can still get a DUI at under the limit also).

After Nuzzy consumes the same amount of alchohol as Crash, both one beer, Crash apparently (from what Ive read) would be feeling it a lot more than Nuzzy. Should Crash drive? No. Is his BAC anywhere near the limit? No. Should Nuzzy drive? He might be ok to drive. Is his BAC anywhere near the limit? No.

So now lets say they both have about 5 drinks. Crash is WAY gone now, but Nuzzy is still feeling fine. Since we know the body absorbs about one drink an hour no matter who you are, they have the same BAC too. Should Crash drive? Definitely not. Is he at the legal limit? Most likely, and most likely over. Now, should Nuzzy drive? NO! Is he at the legal limit? Most likely, and most likely over as well.

The point is, that even though they have had the same amout of beer, they both are affected by it differently, and even though Nuzzy is still feeling fine, he has consumed enough alcohol to bring him to the legal limit, which is all it takes to nab a nice hard case of DUI for yourself, even if you dont "feel" drunk. This is exactly why this standard was put into place.

Anyway, what Im getting to is the fact that even though Nuzzy would still be feeling fine, his brain has compensated for the alcohol because its used to seeing it in the system. This is the EXACT reason alcoholics can pass most field sobriety tests and seem perfectly normal (as Nuzzy claims to be). Not trying to call you an alcoholic, but you see the point Im sure, if you drink it enough, the body will get used to it. However, there are certain tests you can not fake, cheat, or pass when you are legally drunk, and there are still certain motor controls and functions in the brain that are affected, even if you still "feel fine", once again, exactly why the standard was put into place.

This thread makes me wanna get drunk and laugh at some noobs :haha:

 

[Nuzzy]

I do want to bring up again that I don't drink "all the time" on the trail :D I am glad that this thread has gone this far without major conflict. I think it's a very valid and important topic and I'm glad everyone is responding in a way that promotes discussion...

your not too exspensive, last time was only like 8 beers:flipoff:

That you saw :flipoff: Besides, I was drinkin before I showed up ass :flipoff:




...Oh wait... that's not helping my cause is it :D

 

[Nuzzy]

If somelike Eric has one beer and someone like Crash has one beer, the effect may be completely different. In that way, the way alcohol physically affects people can vary. However, they both have the same BAC at that point.

Disagreed. Do your research hun...

My point exactly also, thanks :;

Blood alcohol content

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search
<!-- start content --> Blood alcohol content (BAC) or blood alcohol concentration is the concentration of alcohol in blood. It is measured either as a percentage by mass, or by mass per volume, or a combination. For example, a BAC of 0.20% (2.0 ‰) can means 2 grams of alcohol per 1000 grams of an individual's blood, or it can mean 0.2 grams of alcohol per 100 milliliters (also called a deciliter) of blood.
In many countries, the BAC is measured and reported as grams of alcohol per 1000 milliliters (1 liter) of blood (g/1000 mL). Because the specific gravity of blood is very close to the specific gravity of water (its main component), the numerical values for BAC (%, percent) and (g/1000 mL, permille) do not differ to any consequential degree other than the placement of the decimal point.
The number of drinks consumed is a poor measure of intoxication largely because of variation in physiology and individual alcohol tolerance. A single drink containing one ounce (28 grams) of alcohol will increase the average person's BAC roughly 0.03%, but there is much variation according to body weight, gender, and body fat percentage. Furthermore, neither BAC nor the number of drinks consumed are necessarily accurate indicators of the level of impairment. Tolerance to alcohol varies from one person to another, and can be affected by such factors as genetics, adaptation to chronic alcohol use, and synergistic effects of drugs.
Alcohol content in blood can be directly measured by a hospital laboratory. More commonly in law enforcement investigations, BAC is estimated from breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) measured with a machine commonly referred to as a Breathalyzer (even though that is just the trademark of one manufacturer of the devices).
