Nutsy,

Over-eating or being Hungry will impair reaction. So will being tired.
Being distracted can be a lot worst than a couple of drinks. MODERATE
Nutsy. I alway tried to seriously examine my own condition when the
"Sun rose over the Yardarm" and if conditions warranted it; a beer or
better was in order. Served me well for almost 70 years.

Nutsy,

Drinking is NOT being drunk. Bob there is a moderate, middle road that
you've never discovered. It can be very comfortable. It beat the Hell
out of either edge. Try it


That's right Bubbles, you'll be cool if you do it

After some years as a bouncer, I've probably heard every excuse there
is to drink and operate a car, boat and even a motorcycle. The most
common is the "I've been doing it for XX amount of years and I've been
fine."
Well, that's great. But too many people haven't been fine and have hurt
themselves and others. The bottom line is that no one drinks on my boat
while underway. As you've seen from the many pics, no one has had a
problem with this. Go sailing, clear your head and the bloodstream
while you're at it.
Now that Thomas is aboard if I see anyone drinking while piloting a
boat, I will report them without hesitation. Drinking and operating ANY
kind of vehicle is both childish and foolish. It's also selfish.
I did my fair share of drinking, Thom. Then I grew up and realized even
moderate drinking is better left behind. I haven't regretted that
decision for a moment. It's very depressing to find a person drinks,
smokes or voted for Bush these days.

You've just contradicted yourself. After x years of doing y...

But not all, not a majority, not a large minority. A very, very small
minority.

Yet a Ghost Girl got groped by a drunk!

Is a picture really proof?

In the air of NYC? You gotta be kidding.

But it is not illegal! In Wyoming and Montana you can drink and drive as
long as you are not drunk. In fact you can drink and drive in all states in
your blood alcohol is below the limit.

It's also selfish.

That's due to a medical condition, not a moral decision.

I haven't regretted that

Liar! You wish you had good bowel health. Then you would drink!

It's very depressing to find a person drinks,
smokes or voted for Bush these days.

It must suck to be you. I could care less about what others do as long as
they do me no harm.

Does Bubbles do bong hits?

Scotty;

Said much better than me!!

I guess Nutsy is left "Stomping By Himself"

" Old Ironsides" My Kind of ship. Hey Mooron, Top This!!

The U.S.S. Constitution, as a combat vessel carried 48,600 gallons of
fresh water for her crew of 475 officers and men. This was sufficient to
last six months of sustained operations at sea. She carried no
evaporators (fresh water distillers). However, let it be noted that
according to her log, "On July 27, 1798, the U.S.S. Constitution sailed
from Boston with a full complement of 475 officers and men, 48,600
gallons of fresh water, 7,400 cannon shot, 11,600 pounds of black powder
and 79,400 gallons of rum."
Her mission: "To destroy and harass English shipping."
Making Jamaica on 6 October, she took on 826 pounds of flour and 68,300
gallons of rum. Then she headed for the Azores, arriving there 12
November. She provisioned with 550 pounds of beef and 64,300 gallons of
Portuguese wine. On 18 November, she set sail for England. In the
ensuing days she defeated five British men-of-war and captured and
scuttled 12 English merchantmen, salvaging only the rum aboard each.
By 26 January, her powder and shot were exhausted. Nevertheless, and
though unarmed, she made a night raid up the Firth of Clyde in Scotland.
Her landing party captured a whiskey distillery and transferred 40,000
gallons of single malt Scotch aboard by dawn.
The U.S.S. Constitution arrived in Boston on 20 February 1799, with no
cannon shot, no food, no powder, NO rum, NO wine, NO whiskey and 38,600
gallons of stagnant water.

Now, those were Sailors! No wonder she is the oldest commissioned Ship
of the US NAVY. She was manned by drinking, fighting sailors. Not Drunks
but HARD DRINKING SAILORS.

Good night Nutsy, have your warm milk (g) You lost this discussion to
Drinking Sailors :^)) Hope you learned "NOT TO CHALLENGE DRINKING
SAILORS!!" and; "I'll Drink To THAT!"

Probably not. Drugs cannot screw up a brain the way his has
been.
