when I do the elephant to my MIL

(etiquette Q: before or after the queen ?)

PS – no, I’ll not be doing the elephant to the queen, as she’s not coming round ’til boxing day

JY’s mother in law is going to have a christmas she’s not going to forget in a hurry

Who was the standup comedian the other night who used the phrase “Four units this side of shitting myself?” Think I’ll adopt that as a standard. 😀

Is that right? (The beer bit I mean…) – DUI is based on blood alcohol level, if all the alcohol in a pint were to enter your blood almost simultaneously, would that be enough to push you over the limit?

(Assuming normal strength beer, adult male, etc.)

1 pint of beer @ 5% = 28.4 mL of pure ethanol. Ethanol has a density of 0.789 g/mL so this is 22.4g

Assume adult male, with 5L of blood.

So if all that alcohol could instantly get into the blood and none of it is metabolized yet then this would equate to 448 mg/100mL.

The UK driving limit is 80 mg in 100 mL of blood. However of course a significant proportion of the alcohol simply passes straight through.

or as the comedian, Larry the Cable Guy says: I was driving home from the bar and got stopped by the police. The cop asks him if he is drunk. Larry asks the cop if there is an ugly, fat girl in the back seat. The cop says “yes sir, there is”. “Well I’m drunk then” says Larry.
