So, you're whole basis of whether consuming alcohol at all is based on one experience? Err, not a very legit way to prove a case, let alone make a life decision on. Especially considering that the alcohol wouldn't be in your system for that long :-s . Maybe you just had a bad gaming-streak or something :lol: ? That, and you're basing your decision that "alcohol is evil" off of "it makez m3 play games l3ss g00d"? Dude, if it messed me up for one or two days, that would be one thing. But two [bleep]ing months? Sorry, but it makes your counter-argument fall apart here, seeing as it screwed me over pretty damn well. That was the only time I was messed over so badly. 'kay, that's surprising to say the least :-k . Did you ever realize that alcohol is a type of drug? Or for that matter, the hormonal rush from sex? If you haven't, you need to. (Single-ness and no alcohol as a straight guy FTW. Who needs either one anyway? LOL :lol: ...) ~Mr. Devnull So, your stance is that both sex and alcohol are bad? What exactly is the point you're making about the "hormonal rush" from sex, anyways? And did you know that part of that hormonal rush releases chemicals that have been scientifically proven to bring a couple closer together in their relationship? I'm just gonna laugh here. :lol: ... Why, you ask? I have actually heard of couples that get along perfectly fine, and they've never done 'it'. Again, argument shot down (and in flames)... :? Virgin, yes, and plenty of mind energy spare due to it, part of why I game so damn well. Alcohol, like noted above, yes. BTW, have I sliced you into mini-size spaghetti strips enough? Hmm, don't answer that, I've already turned you into short bits of spaghetti with that cheese-grater. :lol: ~Mr. Devnull (p.s.: I dunno why, but before I saw this reply from you, I was having this "House"-related nightmare in regard to a doctors' conference on a space trip. Maybe it has something to do with the headache you're giving me.) On average it takes about one hour for your body to process one unit of alcohol. This varies depending on your body size, sex and the amount of food in your digestive system. If your liver isn't functioning normally, the process takes longer. One unit of alcohol is roughly equivalent to half a pint of beer, a 25ml (pub) measure of spirit, or two-thirds of a small (125ml) glass of wine. This means that one pint takes your body about two hours to break down, and a large glass of wine (250ml) about three hours - longer if the ABV (alcohol by volume) content is higher than average. So if you have seven pints during a night out, it could take as long as 17 or 18 hours to leave your system. - Two months? .... I don't think its possible to consume that much alcohol by 'accident'.
