Yeah Ilumina and Cloudy, what are you two on about? What was wrong with the way Aledrain used the word "ethanol"? IIRC C2H50H is ethanol(imagine the numbers are subscript), the 2nd most basic type of alcohol and it is found in alcoholic beverages. What you on about corn-based fuel for Illumina?

At least you're sober enough to type, Arledrian [img]tongue.gif[/img] .

That's the most common use of the word where I come from- ethanol is used as a fuel, not to describe alcoholic beverages, that's all.

I'll have to do some kind of experiment on this or something, how do drunk people still have perfect typing? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Arledrian · 02-27-2004, 08:30 PM

I can type just fine when I'm drunk. I just can't talk or stand up very well.

Simple, they just take 10 times as long to type. It's a well known fact that when you're drunk you can either do things you normally do really badly at normal speed or as well as normal at 1/10th speed. Or something.

I bet Aledrain fell asleep and woke up a few times between starting and click post on that message

Nope, but I did fall asleep behind my laptop here for about three hours before waking up and crawling into bed for the rest of the night. Hate when that happens [img]tongue.gif[/img]

::lifts a shoulder:: I pick up strange bits of information. If said bits are incorrect, I make note of when I am corrected.
Upon minimal research, I discovered that ethanol is in fact alcohol.
Can't think of a better fuel than that, anyway.
You scored a hit. I'll mind it doesn't happen again, hm?
(Read: I was wrong. Dammit. I simply must be more careful in the future.)

Some more ethanol information:

Alcohol contains ethanol and small amounts of methanol. Your body breaks down the ethanol first, and this is fairly painless as it's not as toxic. Once all the ethanol is gone, you start to break down the methanol. This is a toxic process and results in a hangover. If you have another drink while you are hungover, your body starts again on the new ethanol and the hangover goes away, but only until your body starts on the methanol again. This is why hair of the dog works, but only temporarily.

The best remedy for a hangover is to eat eggs - eggs contain some sort of enzyme which deals with the more toxic elements of methanol breakdown and can relieve the worst effects of a hangover.

Or something like that.
