THE ADMIN TEAM HAS HAD A SECRET MEETING AND COME TO AN IMPORTANT CONCLUSION:

[minuspace]

I feel like drinking makes the burning stop...
So I went for a cigarette and felt a draft...
And caught a cold...

Therefore:

Chaos started before the antecedent conditions
were even expressed, however, some might
argue being sick reduces the risk of getting
more so...

[East Coast Hustle]

WTF IS THAT SHIT???

ARE YOU REALLY LEAVING LAME POETIC SHIT IN MY GODDAMN THREAD?

OR IS IT LAME PHILOSOPHICAL SHIT?

I DON'T EVEN REALLY CARE, JUST STOP DOING IT.

ECH,
NOT INVITING YOU TO A SECRET DRINKING MEETING EVER

[Rev. Dr. Narot]

We demand representation! How many votes yay, and nay, were included in this conclusion?! Can I now justify my drinking problem by citing elected officials approval? And when do we get free booze? 

[Cain]

Can I now justify my drinking problem by citing elected officials approval?

If you can find an elected official among the admin team, sure

I like the idea of making people temporary mods for like 15 minutes after they drank an entire 5th of bourbon.

Is a 5th enough to make their mouse and typing skills worse enough they can't do any damage?

(no idea what a 5th is)

[LMNO]

Roughly 750 ml.  "One Fifth of a gallon."

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Roughly 750 ml.  "One Fifth of a gallon."

That's 3 kilometers, for the Eurospags.

[Roaring Biscuit!]

cheap bourbon my ass.

Second cheapest single malt, but only when its on offer

It's roughly enough to kill a person my size. Literally.

However, someone the size of ECH would probably barely feel it.

[Whatever]

I drank a fifth of tequila one night over the course of about 2 hours.  I still don't remember parts of that evening though my friends were more than happy to tell me all about it later.

You dance on bars nekkid when you're that drunk.

A 5th is a dangerous amount of alcohol for anyone to drink. 

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

The most alcohol I've had in one night is splitting a fifth with someone, and that used to waste me. And I was approximately half the age I am now.

It's possible that I've had more than that during my hard-drinking-with-EOT days, but if I did, I don't remember it. 

Right now I feel like death on a stick because I had four glasses of wine last night, over the course of seven hours.

A fifth of strong rum consumed by me (230 LBS) over a 6 hour period gives me a blood-alcohol rate of .3

Severe CNS depression
Unconsciousness
Death possible
Bladder function impaired
Breathing impaired
Heart rate impaired

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Strong rum? Like 100 proof? 12 ounces of that would almost certainly kill me.

Yeah, I referred to that as strong.  I was a fan of 151 when I was younger and dumber, and the effects of a 5th on one person would likely be fatal.  Everclear is even worse.
