If cars are outlawed, only outlaws will get to work on time.
Don’t own a car and never have–I’ve never even had a license. And I get to work just fine. See, it works for me, so you should all act exactly the same! You’re a bunch of sick fucks. Why do you need a car, huh? It’s people like you what cause all these crashes! Won’t someone think of the children?!
I am a small business owner. I often have a beer with lunch, and when we have employee meetings over lunch hour, I have a couple six packs on ice for everyone. Also, there are these cool things called breath mints.
I’m posting on this site because ignorant sick fucks like you who don’t care for anyone else on the planet and can’t go 5 minutes or through a meal without having a drink with alcohol in it need someone sane to tell them they are assholes for driving afterwords.
I’ve never seen or been to any fast food place in Canada that sells alcohol. WE tend to take drinking and driving seriously. So how the hell am I supposed to know what they fucking serve in some joint in Texas? If it is like any other bubba restaurant it would have drinks of 40oz or larger in keeping with the rest of the portion sizes. Did the OP specify? No, he thinks it is just peachy keen to drink and drive so he wouldn’t would he? Fuck everyone else. YeeHaw!! Get me in my pickup truck and run over some Mexicans! They ain’t people. Fuck em’!
Well, I, for one, am happy to see that someone is posting on this board who is insistent that someone who has one beer with lunch is incapable of performing normal societal and social functions. Y’know, 'cause it proves that monomaniacs are everywhere.
Do Chipotles in Canada carry beer?
YOU have the same blood alcohol level to assume criminality as the U.S: 0.08. You also require that someone below that level be proved to be impaired, just as in the U.S. What’s the difference?
May I change “monomaniac” to “maniac”? Please?
Leaving aside lame stereotypes about maple syrup, hockey, tuques, “eh,” and “aboot,” I’ve always had a pretty good image of Canada and Canadians. You’re making amazing strides in single-handedly destroying that impression.
I always thought Canadians were polite until one ran into me with a cart, and literally, dropped me to the floor while I was on line at the Loblaw’s in Carlingwood Mall.
Only proves, assholes are everywhere.
Well, you shouldn’t have been buying beer, DUH.
The only place I’ve ever seen anything close to a 40 oz beer is in Boston Pizza, a, get this, Canadian restaurant, where you can get a 34 oz schooner. Your assumption of the regular beer portion sizes is ridiculous (for one thing, beer is a lot more expensive than sugar water, so they’re not going to give you the same size. Also, flat beer is disgusting, and serving larger sizes than a pint isn’t very popular for this reason). It wouldn’t kill you to recognize that your initial assumptions were wrong and reassess. Or, you can tee off and make yourself look like an ass. Your choice.
Good grief…
Texans never do that.
Mexicans are like cacti. They got big thorns on em that will pop a tire in a heart beat.
I’m a public defender, so I hear asshole cop stories all day long, every day. I really believe that the majority of cops and the majority of my clients “hatch” from the same egg. They have shockingly similar pesonalities at their cores, one group was just lucky enough to venture down a path that allows them to endulge in thier bad behavior in a socially acceptable way. The fact that cops routinely get away with bullying, intimidating and sometimes downright criminal behavior leades me to become increasingly jaded every day.
If the OP enjoyed his beer and attempted to walk down the street, this cop would’ve likely had a “consensual encounter” with him out of the view of any potential witnesses, ultimately arresting him for being drunk in public. If the cop was real cranky that day, he might even add a resisting arrest charge after roughing up our OP a little. I have clients showing up at my office all the time with bumps and bruises all over their bodies after run-ins with the police. It’s fucking disgusting.
And the tasers? Good lord. Those things are used with reckless abandon in my county. We actually had a case where the cop ended up tasing herself (she was “bumped” by my client while said client was being shoved around by the other cop) and actually arrested my client for assault on her. By my client. The D.A. actually filed the charges. The lack of shame is alarming.
Shit happens every day, people.
One of the more entertaining parts of my job is trying to decipher horrifically written police reports generated by our municipality’s finest. Another area where cops are shockingly similar to some of my career clients.
No different unfortunately. And the boards have not held my interest as much lately. And certain attitudes have gotten worse which don’t mke me want me to hang out here.
Unless you’re in Frankfurt where beer is less expensive than bottled water.
Boston Pizza is fast food now?
No, we just say we’re Americans if someone complains. Every American I have met has been super polite in person.
This is quite possibly the funniest thing I’ve ever read on this website.
In other news, one of my favorite games is called 40 Hands Behind the Wheel. You need: a car, a roll of duct tape and 2 40 oz bottles of malt liquor. Tape the bottles to your hands…
Which the OP is clearly not. You’re just casting about wildly for points now.
No, but you have to be deliberately missing the point now. As I stated, it’s the only example I’ve ever seen of any place that will serve something approaching your mythical 40 oz single serving of beer. And, it happens to be in Canada, which contradicts your petulant rant about how this relates to attitudes about drinking and driving as it relates to serving size.
Many provinces in Canada have a mandatory suspension at .05 and higher. At .08 it becomes a criminal matter.
And I’m supposed to know what the hell happens in Texas why? Because the OP has enlightened us? Nope. You’ve been to Texas to know for sure? I haven’t. Did you know that beer is cheaper than water in Frankfurt? Why not? Never been there and didn’t care probably. My attitude about Texas exactly.
And if someone claimed that a cop bitched him out in Boston Pizza for drinking before driving I’d take the same stance against him. So what? I do know that at fast food restaurants you can get big assed drinks. Why would I assume that beer on tap is any different? He didn’t say he was getting a bottle, nor what size it was.
Why am I being petulant for expecting people to not drink and then drive? Why are we even debating this? There is no doubt that alcohol affects your ability to drive. You’re arguing about whether the amount he had is enough to affect him. How do you know it isn’t? Some chart on the internet that assumes all things are equal?
Sure, he is probably big enough not to be affected by one beer nor taking medications nor having more than one. Why take the chance? Grow up, assume some responsibility, and set an example for others by not drinking before you get in a car to drive it.
But here’s where your ignorance shows. Yes, I’ve been to Texas (and many other places in the US). I’ve never been to Frankfurt, but I’ve been to Prague where beer is in fact very cheap (cheaper than Germany by reputation). But here’s the point - they still don’t serve giant beers as a matter of course. And now that you’ve been informed about the fact that US fast food restaurants don’t serve giant-ass beers as a matter of course, you should integrate that new knowledge into your head and realize your assumptions were wildly off base. You’re the only one here who doesn’t seem to realize that.
Because you’ve now been told that your assumption was unreasonable.
No one is taking a pro-drinking and driving stance. Really now. But “one beer” does not, without some bizarre extraneous circumstances, constitute being drunk and driving.
