» What constitutes alcohol poisoning? How many shots of 80 proof liquor can one have without being poisoned?

I'm 23, male, 5'9'', 165lbs, American of Cuban & Irish ancestry, in shape and a moderate drinker (at most I drink to intoxication once a month). How many shots of 80 proof liquor would it take to give me alcohol poisoning?There is no correlation chart for amount of alcohol consumed and drunkenness/toxicity depending on height, weight, and ethnicity. The only thing that matters is how much you consume and how well your liver metabolizes the alcohol. I have been drunk under the table by a 24 year old 5'8" 145lbs guy that looked like a kid. There has been some very slight correlation between size and metabolism, but that is not something you can really rely on. The best person to ask is yourself. You know when you a...... - 2010-03-14

A great majority of parents don't know how to talk to their kids about the birds and the bees. They are either afraid to, don't feel comfortable in doing so, etc. etc. That's why there is such a high teen pregnancy rate and spread of aids, and STDs. cuz some peoples do like to talk about that stuff with ther parents1. teenagers think about sex, talk about sex, and some participate in sex. 2.

Fresh chicken deaths in Sitapur, Lakhimpur Express news service Posted online: Wednesday, February 06, 2008 at 2153 hrs IST Lucknow, February 5 In Spite of the state government’s claim that there are no chickens in the state that were imported from the bird flu-affected areas of West Bengal after it carried out culling operations in Shahjehanpur and Sant Kabirnagar, the latest reports of poultry deaths in Sitapur and Lakhimpur districts have alarmed the state officials.

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=74244&cc=5901 Red for the Aussie in FA cup draw with the Gils. Will probably draw a three-match suspension, meaning he's probably out when we go to Elland Road in three weeks. NUFC.com's take: Mark Viduka's red card for Leeds in their FA Cup Fourth Round clash at Gillingham should mean he is suspended for our visit to Elland Road on February 22nd. If Viduka gets a three-match ban, which seems likely for violent conduct, then our game is almost certainly going to be one of the three that the striker misses, with the replay or a possible Fifth Round tie not making any difference. Of course, as seems the case with most red cards nowadays, Leeds are set to appeal against the dismissal. Ign...... - 2010-03-14

Has anybody had either and what is your experience with them?Veneers tend to chip or come off more frequently when placed on people who grind their teeth. Crowns are typically a little stronger and don't come off as often. The negative is you normally have to remove more healthy tooth structure to place a crown. The positive is insurance may help pay for the crown. It is very rare for insurance to help pay for a veneer...they call it cosmetic....... - 2010-03-14

Highly Likely H5N1 On South Korean Farms Recombinomics Commentary November 23 2006 [/URL]According to the ministry, 6,000 of 13,000 chickens at the farm died between Sunday and yesterday. After an initial investigation, the quarantine service said bird flu was the suspected cause. The final test results will be announced on Saturday, but experts at the service said the virus was "highly likely" to be a virulent strain transmissible to humans. The above comments support the outbreak of the H5N1 Qinghai strain in South Korea. The last reported outbreak of H5N1 in South Korea was in late 2003. That was followed by an outbreak of closely related H5N1 in Japan in early 2004. Sequences from these isolates were subsequently found in the Qing...... - 2010-03-14

The quickest way is probably to exercise. And you shouldn't ever skip breakfast because studies show that people who eat healthy breakfasts everyday tend to weigh less than people who don't. Not eating breakfast will really screw up your metabolism. You should actually eat the majority of your calories for the day before noon so you have more time to burn them off. And you won't binge later in the day if you've just had a sustaining breakfast.Well, IT is possible, but not possible to stay healthy Exercise speed you metabolism up for started, which is good for losing weight, the fast the metabolism the better. if you don't want to exercise, don't eat more then 600 calories a day and you will lose weigh...... - 2010-03-14

» Using a Squier Bullet Strat to practice guitar repairs.?

Hey, I have a Fender Standard Stratocaster and I'm pretty new at doing any sort of repairs or replacing guitar parts. My plan is to buy a Squier Bullet Strat and use it to practice various basic repairs such as changing the pickups, bridge, nut, etc. (I'd rather not use my Standard Strat for fear that I might do some damage) Does this sound like a good idea? Is the electronics inside a Squier Bullet Strat the same as a Fender Standard Stratocaster? The same as all the Stratocasters? Thanks!Yep. I would imagine so. With regards to pickups,switches there's really only one way to wire them correctly. Good idea with practicing on a similar guitar...although it shouldn't really matter which you use as they are all...... - 2010-03-14

» Suggestions for forum

I'd like to have the online status shown on the Member's list and also a capability from that page to add a user to my buddy list. Regardless, it's a great forum!It would be nice if this was standard, yes, but you can do it by playing with the templates a little until then :)Well, I had tried earlier to insert $onlinestatus in front of the username. I've played with $onlinestatus elsewhere, but nothing shows up on Member List when I insert it there. As far as adding a member from the Member List to your buddy list, that seems more obscure since currently doing this requires that you actually type in the name of the person to add. I have customized by forum a lot, but if there is a way to do it, it may be beyond my skills. http://foru...... - 2010-03-14

» Can I get a check from the government in the switch to digital?

Alright, I live in Michigan, and I have Comcast. Currently, I'm able to get digital cable, as I have the right kind of TV and everything. But, getting a box costs money(quite a bit). Money which I do not have. Currently, Comcast is being a big rip-off by taking away numerous channels and making us dread having basic cable(trying to force us into getting digital). My question is: Since it costs money to get a box, could I get a check from the government to pay for the expenses? Or am I on my own? Thanks.You're on your own. You can get a $40 coupon toward the purchase of a digital converter from the government, but the converter is only for those who use an antenna to get their TV programming .you can get the coupon from ...... - 2010-03-14

» Sensitive property shoots (military installations, etc.)

Hello all, I work for a company that often photographs military facilities, water treatment plants, and other areas with security concerns. We haven't yet developed a standard property release form or process to help clear security review. I'm researching to see if a site/property release form can or should be used. I also need to know if a letter or contract before the photo shoot is the best/most efficient approach. Or is it better to simply clear the images with the facility security folks after the shoot is over? Does anyone have any experience with these kinds of issues or know of any resources that might be helpful? We have contacted Public Affairs at a couple of bases and they indicated that such shoots would be subject review...... - 2010-03-14

» In order from least to greatest...where is the most painful place to get a tattoo?

i wanted to get some tattoos when i got old enough but i want to kno how much it would hurt before i get it..you can't go by anything anyone says with this. its all in how you deal with the tattoo 'pain' itself/how you deal with pain & discomfort......i can sit through millions and millions of tattoos, but give me a piercing and im going into shock and passing out. some people say that skin right on bone hurts worse, others say that fatty areas hurt more because the bone isn't there to absorb the pain. others say everything hurts and then you have other people that say that nothing hurts.....it all depends on your tolerance. some people will say its the rib cage, arms or foot...others will say its their neck, back or ...... - 2010-03-14

» Kodak SD memory card... how fast is it?

I have another card that is apparently 15/s....but this kodak card doesn't have a speed on it. Does that mean it is slower and will take poor quality pictures?Slower memory cards don't affect the image quality at all. My camera doesn't do video, so I don't know how it would effect video capture, but I can tell you that for images, you really only need a fast memory card if you are taking a fast sequence of photos and need each image stored to a memory card quickly so that it can get on to the next one. For example, my camera can take 6 frames per second. If I use a fast card, my camera can take a bunch of images at this rate, but if I'm using a slower card, it has to pause between bursts in order to save the d...... - 2010-03-14

Hello, One of my clients had an issue with the hosting comapny he's hosting with in relation to marketing campaigns they're running. The marketing campaigns are high in traffic, but legal. Due to the high traffic, a number of bounces came back as a reply to the FROM address which is genuine.

» Why is the sky blue during the day on the earth but always black on the moon?

the Moon has little or no atmosphere, which is needed to make a blue sky.This question comes up every day on Answers------- Water vapor in Earth's atmosphere captures the long wave BLUE light and then re- emits it --------- the other colors mostly pass right through to the ground. The moon is a vacuum without ANY atmosphere of any kind.The short answer is that the moon has no atmosphere, but the earth has. The longer answer is that reflected light from dust particles in our atmosphere, favors blue light rather than the other colors in the spectrum. The full answer on why this is so runs to four pages on ask.comFor the same reason that the world around you looks brown if you wear brown tinted sunglasses or green if you wear bottle ...... - 2010-03-14
