Nothing accidental about ingesting copious amounts of alcohol

They teach kids about the dangers of alcohol in school still don't they?

It's about as accidental as pushing a kitchen knife into your stomach

Well actually, there kind of is.

Ingesting copious amounts of alcohol is a semi deliberate choice. Ingesting the same physical volume which now has the side effect of being X times more powerful without knowledge can certainly happen when your judgement is already impaired by alcohol.

Especially when you can drink well beyond copious amounts of alcohol without drinking what you'd think to be "copious amounts" of alcohol when it's 95% alcohol.

Pretty sure everyone in this forum has had "one drink too many" even in their impeccable judgment. And if that "one drink" is dialled up into insane levels, well, this can happen.

You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

agreed.

As a teen, I necked entire bottles of vodka, scotch, tequila etc... if I had done that with rectified spirits... well I don't want to know what would have happened...

I'm not blaming anyone but myself... not at all.

The thing is, as a teenager you are a complete retard, and when it comes to drinking you don't yet know your limits.

There is only one way to learn, and with 95% alcohol you can easily go WAY over it before you even realise.

I was addressing the dude above your post. Banning the drink is not the answer

But we have the same opinion, so, what he said is what I say about the thing.

From a FREEDOMMMSS standpoint banning the drink isn't the answer.

Then again, how many times do you really require 95% alcohol shots?

... I mean if you're in that kind of situation, where only 95% alcohol works for you anymore, it may be time to consider what lead you to that scenario ;)

This all really boils down to

"Its fine, if you excercise knowledge and judgement"

However the usage of the item impairs knowledge and judgement.

Unless you start the night with 95% alcohol shots, in which case PARTY HARD YO, but, like I said before, if you're doing this then someone should really be stopping you and saying "hey mate.... you have a problem"

... in which case there's no real downside to not selling the stuff in the first place

I don't buy being drunk as an excuse for someone not knowing how drunk they are, when so many young people go around a party bragging about how smashed they are. Have been at the point of blacking out (have never fully passed out) and, yes, judgement is severely impaired, but still been able to think to myself "okay I'm fked now, that's enough for me".

So the math: she had two shots of Spirytus according to article. 500ml bottle contains 38 standard drinks.

That's 2.28 standard drinks per average 30ml shot, call it 5 standard drinks if you will. Even if those shots were seconds apart, that will not kill you. It'll get you drunk very quickly, but it won't kill you and you'll know exactly how drunk you are in 10 minutes time. If that was enough to push her over the edge for lethal dose then she simply had way too much to drink beforehand. 5 shots of whiskey would have done the same thing, or 2-3 shots of Chartreuse, or 4 full strength beers. If it can happen with Spirytus, it can happen with anything else. She just had too many drinks period and banning or controlling that drink won't stop this happening.

Yes she probably didn't mean to die from it, so if you wanna use the word accident there I'll accept that she didn't mean to die...but in the same way that I'd accept someone doing double the speed limit and crashing to be an accident. It's the idiot at the end of the bottle, not the drink. You can kill yourself with water if you're stupid enough and plenty do.

I'm a big drinker and even I think 95% alcohol is too far to be sold as a beverage.

make the cutoff 80% you could still get stroh or pure polish spirit.... if you need more than that you need fkn help lol

Should you really be modifying your car, given that you clearly have a severe problem with doing so?

Kinkstahh used "moralising"... It's not very effective

Only a few days separated her from being an underage drinker

Pretty funny how black and white the law is sometimes. Do you think she grew smarter / more responsible in those few days? I'd say the opposite, in the space of a day lol

Interestingly on a similar topic, saw this article

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/poisoned-al-cohol-death-indonesia-cheznye-emmons-468702

Let's got to Bali cause we can get smashed every night and it's so f**king cheap mate.

Good luck chasing liability from an impoverished foreign country...and people get their surgeries done offshore these days...

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.
