As the article says: statistics say at least 1 person reading that article will die tonight from a drunk driving incident. Kinda crazy when you think about it.

I don't agree with #1, because I've seen breathalyzers get beaten first hand. A kid that had probably 3-4 beers wiped his mouth out with his shirt and blew a .00 and got away with it. Pisses me off to this day.

I knew all of those except the keep you warmer. I pass out sleeping on the bar with my mouth hanging over the edge so it just spews onto the floor!

Congrats on being, "that guy".

We accept in advance that someone in the comments section totally knows a guy whose cousin escaped a DUI by eating a jar of Vaseline and cramming a roll of Mentos up their ***.

And I had a friend who got clocked going almost 500 miles an hour.

Believe it or not, but machines maintained by the community college geniuses at your local PD may not be in the best condition, and sometimes they don't work correctly.

Odds are, if you get pulled over, wiping your mouth out with your shirt probably isn't going to work.

at "wiped his mouth with his shirt". Things don't add up in that story.

Re: 5 Drinking Myths That Can Kill You

I got pulled for a D.U.I. a few years back. Between court fees, higher insurance, and the hassle of it all, it was a lesson well learned. Even if you consider yourself a "good" drunk driver, it just ain't worth it. I used to be pretty reckless in my youth, and it was a wakeup call for me to stop being an idiot. There used to be nights where me and the boys would go out, get stumbling drunk, then go drive around to get something to eat. We had good times, but it definitely wasn't smart. Considering how often we did it, I'm surprised it took me so long to finally get pulled over. The D.U.I is no big deal in the end, I'm just glad I never hurt anybody out there.

If a St. Bernard does show up with a shot of brandy, feed it the shot and then drape its passed out body over your icy torso.

A breathalyzer malfunctioning is different than beating it.

On the apsirin thing..


There's only 1 way to defeat a hangover. You have to drink a lot of water hourly once you stop drinking. That means when you wake up periodically throughout the morning(which almost everyone does after they drink), you gotta chug some water.


Its worked everytime for me.

I usually use Gatorade, it works better than water as it also replenishes your electrolytes.

That's what I do. After some real drinking, I always drink a bottle of water and eat a bagel before going to bed, and then sleep with a bottle of water, 3 advil, and 2 sudafed, and when ever I wake up, I drink some water and pop the pills and I'm good to go.
