I used to fly on a river at 10AM on Saturday mornings. My only
conclusion is there are many drunks on their SkiDoos at that time.

I always figured that if you drink before noon, you're treading on
being classified as an alcoholic... On the other hand, I'm not exactly
sure where the cutoff point is from the night before... I've kind of
suspected that daybreak was probably a good cutoff point though...

And if you claim to be safe to drive after a 12-pack, you're not?

Nawh, I'm just making a comment on Grace's sister's driving ability
and the fact that it is supposedly acceptable since she passed the
test... I guess I'm also making a comment on the fact that the tests
are too easy from a driving standpoint... Basically, if you don't run
over the examiner, you pass the test, I guess...

Ahh, I see. Well, I certainly can agree with all of that. Driver
education, even if it has improved things somewhat (and I'm not convinced
it's what's responsible for improvements in auto safety), is still pretty
much a joke. A few hours under supervision once as a teenager, and you're
apparently good to go for life.

You're right, there are some really crummy drivers out there, including
those worse than a guy on a 12-pack drunk.

All in all, I don't think I'm really all that drunk after a 12-pack...
A little bit of a buzz, but not enough that I probably wouldn't still
drive... It takes me long enough to drink it that most of them have
made it through my system by the time I'm finished... A 12-pack would
be something that probably could be accomplished during a day on the
lake fishing... Depends on the beer, of course... Some are more watery
than others...

Regardless, even if I was falling-down-drunk, I would be a better
driver than Grace's sister... grin
