So hide the battery. If he’s not drunk after nine beers he is getting way to much practice. ---

I’ve just finished off 1/2 of a sausage pizza from Domino’s and women’s volleyball is on TV. (Please, like anybody is going to beat May/Walsh).

**Bruce\_Daddy** - you need to be drinking equal amounts of beer, water and caffeine soda (diet) - you won’t gain an ounce, trust me. Oh, and carbs. Crackers, pasta - pizza is OK but not a lot of meat. You can do it! ---

Ok. I’m not capable of counting the empties so I’ll count the ones to go. There are 9 to go not counting the one I’m drinking. I know I’m drunk when I want to start calling people. Props to **j66** for the phone advice. It took way too long to type this. I think I set a world record for hitting backspace. Self editing sucks. ---

Totally unrelated to Bruce (I doubt he’s paying attention anymore) why can’t this board have a spell-check? Is it to deliberately slow us down, so we might think twice, hell, even once, before posting? ---

That’s a little more than 3 an hour. You should be able to finish by 8, 9 at the latest. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by j66 \* > \*\*Totally unrelated to Bruce (I doubt he’s paying attention anymore) \*\* Wrong!!! I just realized something. I’m going to be sitting in the hot Darlington sun tomorrow dehydrated. Who’s the smart boy? Not me. 😛 Maybe I should open the “Ask the drunk guy” thread. Or not. ---

Damn, I wish I had seen this thread two hours ago. Someone please keep this open so I can show this to **Spoz** later tonight as an example of someone who gets REALLY drunk. (I’m too lazy to email him the URL right now) **Bruce\_Daddy** , I think you ARE going to be really dehydrated doing whatever it is you’re doing at Darlington tomorrow. But then you already knew that. 🙂 “Ask the drunk guy”… now THERE’s a thread idea! (or not) How’s it going now? F\_X ---

For the dehydration issue, after you’ve reached your goal of a blood alcohol level of antifreeze, just drink as much water as you can, as well as when you wake up. Not a cure, but it helps.
