I'm not even sure what the question is :D



Where (and what) is it? I'm in Costa Rica rather often as my parents own a place about 20 minutes outside of Jaco.

FFS, enough with the alarmism. None of that is happening with .08 so it has no relevance in the argument against .05. Bartenders can and regularly do serve people well past .08... they don't...

There's no doubt some people can drive (mostly) just fine with .08 BAC. But BAC is a necessary standard. Field sobriety tests are failed by completely sober people all the time.

I've mostly heard that attributed to bock, where they clean the vats in the springtime and get all the sludge from the bottom.

.08 is the legal limit in Ontario (though roadside breathalyzers only actually register a fail at .10)

However, .05 is also a significant number. The breathalyzers register a "warn" above that. If...

Yes, that's why I give a polite "hold on" before doing anything that needs focus. If they're talking, you can ignore it just like the song you're singing along to (which is apparently okay). No...

How absurd. Talking on the phone handsfree is no different than talking to a passenger. Yeah, I think people can manage.



I'm not even American but this was funny :)

And sirloin is hamburger meat IMO. Garbage steak, won't eat it.

The important thing for a tasty steak IMO is just seasoning with adequate salt and pepper. And adequate...

I'll ask you what the particulars were when I'm in a better state of mind, if you don't mind. :)

I don't mean to be insulting in the least. But none of that second paragraph makes sense to me!...

My only question is... why? Did you mess it up, or do the people around you just not enjoy it? Because if you do it right, anybody that broadly likes white wine shouldn't mind it ;)

Dissolved carbon dioxide creates carbonic acid, not carboxylic.

Soda is much more carbonated than beer and it uses screw tops. In an adequately pressure-rated bottle (not a flask), a screw top should be fine. However, if it's meant to be resealed, it needs some...
