GT3...Drunk

I took bong hits on my second pit stop at Grand Valley endurance and started posting my fastest times.

I usually have a beer in hand while racing, not enough for DUI though.
 
Back in College the Dorms in conjunction with SADD and the Police Force would organize demonstrations for the students to observe with the intent of showing how impaired a person really became when consuming alcohol. In my senior year I participated as one of the people doing the drinking (I was an RA, and one of four people on my floor that was 21 - most people moved off campus in their junior years.)
Two Police officers stood by, and watched us drink while giving us different tasks to perform. One was signing our name every ten minutes. Several others were standard DWI type tests (We've all seen on cops at least) The last was a driving game on the Super Nintendo ( a game that I had as well) I was the last to go (one girl threw up after 3) but it was pretty bad. I could barely write my name, and I couldn't stay on the road to save my life.
I'll tell you what, after that experience I can honestly say that I never even thought about driving even after one drink. (you should see how much 1 affects the speed at which your eyes focus - it's like half.)
:cheers:
 
I find I'm fine with one or two, but after the third it gets to be a bit of a struggle.

If I've had a tough week rather than going out my partner and I will stay in - she'll head off to bed early and I'll fire up the PS2 and wash away my cars in a flood of beer and fast cars.

I can still string together two or three decent laps with five or six on board, but average a serious accident every four or five minutes or so.

I've never been one to drink and drive, I must admit, but if you do the research you'll actually find more than half of drivers killed have illegal blood alcohol content.

Geez, I drive badly enough when I'm sober....

:cheers:
 
I actually run better sometimes after a few.

I'm more relaxed, and drive smoother.
I usually drive on the edge of my seat, but just sitting back and relaxing has definite advantages.
 
I gotta say I'm probably under the influence of something just about all the time. You know all the keychains and crap about 24 beers in a case, 24 hours.. etc.. That's me. If anyone needs any drinking game ideas, I've played some fun ones. Problem is, not a lot of people to play with these days. Most people have to use chasers for whiskey. I like to play this one called The Gauntlet. It's actually claimed lives.

It takes a whole lot to get me lit. Don't ask me how, but I can down some Jose Cuervo likes it's nobody's business. I do everything better when I've been drinking. Even when my BAC is around .15 or so, I can still count, say the alphabet (forwards and backwards. some people can't say it backwards even when sober). I can walk, my eyes don't jump, and my reflexes are still pretty good. Back when I had a car, I would have a beer while behind the wheel. Why? Because it made me a better driver.

I couldn't help but notice the past tense, Nico.
 
Exactly right. The good ol' days. Back in the day. Can't drink and ride the bike. I'm crazy, but not that crazy. Hell, after I run the Gauntlet, I can hardly stand up.

Ahh - made the shift from 4 wheels to 2 - fair enough. Is that bike as in man-powered or horse-powered? I would assume horse....

Do you actually drive better....or do you just think you do? :D
 
Anyone, and I mean anyone who drinks while driving should have their ass hauled to jail and put away for a long time.

My father-in-law does it, and I've considered turning him in...

I've known too many damned people who've been killed by drunk drivers... :mad:
 
In addition, I think the charges for anyone caught doing this should be attempted murder. It's the same damned thing...

:mad: :mad: :mad:
 
:rolleyes:

Okay there, big guy...

I'll leave that to the police department. I'd think, especially living in Atlanta, you'd realize the dangers of driving period, let alone while under the influence.

And, anyone who thinks they drive 'better' while drinking is a idiot. I'm not afraid to say it...you will end up regretting it some day. Just stay the **** out of my state, I'd rather not be a needless stain on some highway. My children either.

It's people like you who increase our insurance rates. It's people like you who kill other people. Innocent people...family members. I've known several people who were killed by some dumb**** like you. Some of them very close to me.

Let me tell you this. I don't give a **** who you are, you are a criminal in my mind. Simply another a**hole who thinks he's invincible and nothing bad can happen to him.

I'm not going to take this any further, but your stupidly idle threats across the Internet mean nothing to me. Go ahead and puff out your chest, think you are a big, bad dude who is in complete control of his destiny. Go on...keep telling yourself that.

Meanwhile, I'll cower in fear each time I get on the road, because I know there are thousands of other dum****s like yourself out there who think alcohol makes them better drivers too.

Oh, and for the sake of everything I hold dear...please, if you do drive drunk, make sure you kill yourself and no one else. It's the least you could do.

*end rant*

:mad:
 
*APPLAUSE*

AltF8, I compeltely support you. I think what you said was great.

Those idiots who think they are tough aren't worth anyone's time, except the cops.

:mad: :mad: :mad: :rolleyes:
 
There should be extremely looong jail sentences awaiting anyone caught under the influence while driving. And that's if nothing bad happens.
 
Well AltF8, hate to rain on your parade, but I know most of the Atlanta city PD and a lot of the Fulton Co. Sherrif. They like. Don't ask me why. They've seen me out drinking under age and they bum a beer off of me. That's the way the world works. Maybe if I lived in suburbia it would be different. When a cat's in a tree, half the department wails the sirens and comes to the rescure. But there are more important things to deal with here.
 
I was gonna win the race...but then I got high.

I was gonna get first place...but then I got high.

I was gonna lead the chase...but then I got high.

I got high
I got high
I got high
 
Enjoy the following news articles, if you think you're a better driver when drunk

Oh yeah, and another favourite of mine, seat belts:

So, if you're drunk, it's Friday night, and you don't like wearing your selt belt - just walk out in front of traffic. It's quicker and easier that way.
 
Well, not to further enrage AltF8, there has been some scientific evidence leading to the conclusion that some people DO drive better once theve had A drink. I suppose the theory is that being afraid or uptight while driving is worse than a slower response time.

Personally, I think its retarded, and I have on occasion beaten the **** out of drunk drivers. There really is no excuse, cabs are cheap.
 
I got no issue with one or two, do that myself - it's when people are well over, genuinely affected and a danger to other road users I have a major issue with.

It comes down to people thinking they have a God-given right to drive, not realising that the privilege of driving brings heavy responsibilities - like paying attention, sharing the road - stuff like that...
