Question by C.G.: Why do so many people here think their hangovers are “alcohol poisoning”?
I’ve seen multiple questions today of people typing out long questions claiming they must have alcohol poisoning. All their symptoms are just classic hangover symptoms. Why don’t people realize if they have alcohol poisoning if they’re not unconscious they will be close to it and they will be in the hospital getting their stomach pumped? There is HUGE difference…
I read one today that was like “Should I go to the hospital and get my stomach pumped? I threw up a few times”

*Rolls eyes*

Question by glwstxboi: How many non-alcoholic beers would it take to fail a breathalizer?
I’m not sure if the alcohol content varies from brewery to brewery or not, so lets use Becks N/A as a reference. At 0.5% alcohol by volume, for an average male, about say 150lbs, approximately how many non-alcoholic beers would cause someone to fail a breathalizer?

Best answer:

Answer by mark
Your liver would metabolize the alcohol at a rate faster than you could drink it. For argument sake, it would take 8 LA beers to be equal to one beer. If you could keep drinking 8 per hour for about 4-5 hours then maybe.

Question by Amber: How many alcoholic drinks do you limit yourself to when you just start dating someone?
I’m not tiny and I am a bit overweight. I don’t want to drink too much. Does it look wrong to have three alcoholic drinks on a second date? Women: do you usually get slightly tipsy from three drinks? I drink super fast & love alcohol, but mainly on dates, to loosen up, but not to get drunk, just for a buzz. Thx.
