It's even worse on reddit where I first saw this. The average IQ in /r/videos is 90 and their sense of humor, well, makes them think this dry crap is funny.Just by your comment I don't think I'll ever wonder into /r/videos. Then again I don't even go on reddit to begin with.
Oh wow, I was dead wrong. I misread it, I apologise. However, this doesn't dismiss the irrelevance of mentioning a statistic which in no way relates to the overall statistic of alcoholic-induced injury. Driving is a huge risk, yes, but you keep comparing a completely unnecessary luxury to a form of transport. There is absolutely no need to become drunk. There is a need for transport.And I've said before, there isn't a need to drink to the point of being drunk. See this post (that you seemed to have NOT READ you blind hypocrite) I made much earlier about being tipsy:
There is such thing as only drinking a little and enjoying being tipsy (the common term used for being only slightly drunk to the point where you are only relaxed in mood but not at all completely unable to make proper judgement).
Mentioning that, in relation to driving, texting while driving is worse than drinking while driving. It only relates to driving. My argument was based around the effects of drinking as a whole, not only while driving.It doesn't have to be worse or better than drinking while driving. It's still an irresponsible act done while driving. They are both impairments to actively focusing on the road that make it more likely to be a part of accidents. You're ignoring the fact that they're similar problems.
Oh, and on that note, if you text while you drive, you're a joke.
However, this doesn't dismiss the irrelevance of mentioning a statistic which in no way relates to the overall statistic of alcoholic-induced injury.Explain what you mean specifically by pointing out the statistic that you're talking about.
Exactly, and because of that anything that says "X beers = X" is automatically invaled unless you have a chart likeThere is a chart for that and I think it's adopted as a standard too. My brother has one since he is a bartender.
X pounds = X beers until drunk
No, but statistically speaking, it does cause harm. It's a fact that it's the.. oh, what is it? 4th most life threatening action promoting by human beings?I'm going to go ahead and dig into your article for the "statistics".
In the United States, injuries are the fourth-leading cause of death, exceeded only by heart disease, stroke, and cancer.Ah you're right! stuff I can't rea- hey wait, it says just injuries. Congrats, you're a loving moron. Lets keep on moving though.
Of all deaths from injury in the United States, about 65 percent are classified as unintentional or accidental. The other 35 percent are intentional injuries, occurring as a result of fights, assaults, Self Delete, homicide, and other crimes.Okay, so 65% are accidental and 35% are intentional. Sounds good.
Alcohol-related fatalities have been estimated to be about 43 percent of all unintentional injuries.So... 43% of 65% of all unintentional injuries. 43% of 65 is 27.95%. This means that all the alcohol fatalities/injuries you keep citing are actually only 27.95% of all injuries/fatalities. This puts alcohol related injuries significantly farther below as opposed to "all injuries as a whole" as 4th major cause of death in the US. Congrats, you're a loving moron who can't read + do math.
Only I just did, I displayed an argument that counteracted yours entirely. You informed me of a similarly harmful action, which didn't, in any way, benefit your argument. Stating that texting while driving is worse than drinking while driving doesn't mean that drinking alone is more harmful. Did I ever say I was arguing the effects of drinking while driving exclusively? No. I don't know why you're playing under that assumption, though.This entire snippet is just bullstuff.
You informed me of a similarly harmful action, which didn't, in any way, benefit your argument.What does this even mean? I stated something that was completely useless and irrelevant? This doesn't even make sense. It's like you're intentionally trying to say that I'm just posting bullstuff. And:
Did I ever say I was arguing the effects of drinking while driving exclusively?You don't exclusively state this but you act like it does. You keep clinging for dear e-life onto your statistics as if there is nothing but death caused by alcohol-related fatalities/incidents.
Vincent, does it hurt to be stupid enough to try and create a simile out of a completely irrelevant activity? I mean, being that stupid can't be painless.Quit acting like there is no other risk in driving. Driving sober carries the same risk for crashing. This is the loving brown townogy everyone keeps making because it's actually pretty relevant. We're all not repeating the same "driving has risks too" statement just for fun.
Hey can someone look at this APU and tell me if it could run BL and by extension, the S&S?Should be able to run it. Not on high settings I don't think but it should be able to do the job for minimum for sure.

That is true.Yeah, exactly. I think that phrase isn't really accurate to say due this, as varying weight will allow for greater or lesser alcoholic ability.
If you're a bigger person you can have a case and still be sober (my uncle)
Or if your a small person than half a can will make you drunk (my sister)
I was agreeing with you :/I know. I was just pointing out that I also posted a similar message and that I've heard "4 beers = texting while driving". At least that's what Drake Bell said on a "don't drive intexticated" advertisement on Channel One so I can't be sure if that's true, and four beers isn't the same for all persons due to weight and etc. factors.
Texting and driving is absolutely terrible, and, in turn, while it is worse for a driver, texting ALONE is not as bad as drinking ALONE.Okay, so you're never going to text in your life right? You're not going to drink in your whole life because you want to avoid driving.
The effects of alcohol don't only relate to driving. Do more research.

4th leading cause in death, not behind texting while driving.
Instead of presenting an entire argument based on nitpicked truth, you should do a bit more reading next time.
Texting and driving is more dangerous than drinking and driving.
Its been proven on some sort of show, I forgot.
Texting And Driving Worse Than Drinking and Driving

ew blod special interest grosHey what are you doing you're supposed to be inactive and comatose.
Statistically speaking, more accidents are caused by alcohol alone than vehicles. I'm arguing based off of statistic, again. But, for the most part, you are aware of my argument -- the issue is that I'm presenting the concept the unnecessary risk isn't as reasonable as necessary risk. Driving acts as a form of transportation, drinking only implies pleasure.Citation needed on your statistic. If you are so insistent on these statistics please show them to me.
When you put OTHER people at risk, you're acting like a selfish cunt and shouldn't be given the right to use the luxury. I understand your point, and earlier I admitted to my point of immediate contact of alcohol (even though it is toxic to the body) to not be harmful enough to avoid forever, but that doesn't imply my argument is invalid. I'm going off of statistic, not your personal belief of what is or isn't enjoyable.Okay so what I'm understanding is your argument is that using alcohol irresponsibly is why you don't like alcohol? I think this was stated at some point earlier but the fact is there will always be people who use things appropriately and abuse things inappropriately. This includes alcohol, driving, marijuana, and anything with any degree of risk. This is why "safe driving" campaigns exist, and why "responsible drinking" campaigns too, and also alcohol consumption laws. Like always however there will be people bypassing these things and this is unavoidable without a death penalty for breaking these rules (which will never happen). This is just the way things are and you will definitely have to accept them in life.
I've been refuting them, and my most recent statements were, for the most part, ignored. You should go back and check the replies arguing the statistic we were discussing.Okay, I'll humor you then (again).
You mean getting stufffaced, even though it can harm others, it's justifiable because you're too pathetic to see past your own bias? Having fun doesn't mean what you're doing is an appropriate behavior. Unless, you know, you're stupid.You're acting like taking a sip of alcohol causes you to get drunk instantaneously and that every person makes the worst possible choice ever while drunk. I have been to parties where I've had the best fun in my life without the use of alcohol or drugs, and I've been to parties where I've drank and still had a good time. I think I should be able to make this point pretty god damn clearly. Being drunk isn't exactly "appropriate behavior" but in a setting like a party it's not like there are "behavior police" making sure no one is being drunk.
