Crash involving alcohol kills 8-year-old boy

[theArtistFormerlyKnownAs]

I'm not a wine drinker, but I think 5 oz. is a serving. :shrug:

Ha, good point. I make mistakes at the end of the day like this

Ok

1.5 oz of 80 proof (40%abv) liquor = 12 oz 5% abv beer = 5 oz 12% abv wine

Food slows the absorption rate, but only if you eat before drinking. Eating after drinking only makes you a full drunk.

I ate while drinking. What does that mean?

And this wasn't a 22oz beer glass...correct?

No. I can drink a beer and be fine but that glass of wine will make me warm and fuzzy.

Fuzzy like a kitty or fuzzy like mold on cheese?

Good point. When I drink wine at home, it's not uncommon for me to have a glass that's....well....a little more full than the ones they give you in a restaurant!

Did he put the dead child in the trunk with the intention of hiding him?

:shrug: Probably. Like Mom wouldn't notice he's gone? Pretty much a lowlife.

Considering this guy, mom was probably already in the trunk.

well when you were in TAM class did they mention the Caloric(sp) valve? when you eat the stomach closes and begins digestion therefore it takes longer before the alcohol moves on to the asorption phase of digestion. So if you drink on an empty stomach the alcohol begins asorption imediately

eating first keeps that effect from happening as quickly

I think it was residule alcohol still in the mouth.

thus giving a falsely high reading. Just my experience and I have some experience with intoximeters
