[/quote]You need to get your facts straight. I said the damage isn't significant. Getting drunk or high kills thousands of brain cells, but humans have trillions of cells, so it's such a small fraction. The most damage is done before the brain has fully developed (usually age 21, some develop quicker, others slower) and that is why the drinking age is at 21. If the brain isn't fully developed, the frontal lobe never gets a chance to function, leading to poor decision making and reasoning.

Of course I haven't smoked in my life, and one does not need to to know their facts...[/quote]

obviously you dont have your facts straight.

Getting high or drunk does not kill brain cells.

I don't understand your point.

I said that the .08 reading they got the first time was not accurate, as the 2nd one was .152, which is obviously way more than the .08......

...?? Lol.

So then it is a case of you not taking the time to read carefully.

Indeed. My bad. Just read on roto world that one was 1.67 and the other .152.

I read it as the first reading being .08, and then the 2nd being the .152.

My bad.

That being said, your assertion that two beers cannot bring up a reading of .152 is not accurate.

A guy like Will Allen is in terrific shape. That usually actually leads to a player being impacted by alcohol more quickly than the average person. Because they train so much, they have excellent circulation, which means the alcohol travels faster. 2 beers could conceivably cause a .152 reading.

When I first started weightlifting, I noticed how much quicker alcohol impacted me. My friend, who is also a personal trainer, mentioned to me that it is because my circulation was faster and therefore the buzz from the drinks arrived quicker.

I'm not excusing Allen for his actions if he indeed was driving around drunk, just pointing out that breathalyzer readings can sometimes register a high number despite a low level of alcohol consumption.
