Alcohol question

[hahahavefun]

If a small framed female say weighing around 46 - 50 kilos drank bourbon and coke from around 3.20pm to between 9 - 10 every week night do you believe she would still be over the limit if she got in her car to drive at say 6am the morning after . 

Someone i know drinks like this and its more on a Friday and Saturday night as she stays up later. She doesnt see her drinking as a problem because she budgets for it . In 6 days she has drunk 2 x 1.25 ltrs bourbon and started on a 3rd not to mention all the coke tht she has also .

I believe if she got pulled over on the way to work one morning she would blow over the limit, would you agree ?

I believe she would be over the limit and most probably an alcoholic. When you say "coke" is this coca cola or the other kind of "coke"?

You are a good friend to be concerned. Yes, it is a drinking problem.

The rule of one drink for women in the first hour two for men, then one per hour afterwards, is considered not reliable by the police these days...there was advice about that in the paper a few years ago from them, as it does matter what size you are, and also, whether you are eating. People also have individual effects on alcohol breakdown, some faster, some slower (to do with alcohol dehydrogenase).

She could harm herself and others if she has an accident...try the tester game but I hope she doesn't see it as pointed...be careful.

Drinkers tend to not take on board being over the limit, but think oh, maybe had one more tonight, that was it, it takes a bit to wake them up.

Good luck...hope you can help.

I thought maybe the "coke" was for sobering up.

I'm still trying to do the maths.

So 1.25 over 3 nights is about 400ml per night.

6 doubles maybe?

A lot yes, but how much is a bottle or two of wine a night?

How does it compare?

[imastawka]

  A standard bottle is 700ml.   So more than 1/2 bottle of bourbon a night? Wow....

She doesn't have a drinking problem.   She has a staying sober problem

[i-once-was-bump]

What if you try to trap her at the BBQ with the little self tester and she doesn't want to play the game?

Are you going to make a thing of it, will others get stuck into her from not playing along?

Does she get to fit much food into her stomach, if I had that much to drink I doubt I could eat a proper meal at night or breakfast and I am a big eating fatty female.

Just recently there was a footballer in trouble for being over the limit in the morning after a drinking session and footballers really are large men so you would think that they would be less likely than a slim female to be over the limit.

While I agree with you in that this topic fits you, I don't find it amusing.

Alcoholics and addicts destroy many more lives than their own.
