TurdGate was funny. Sort of a boys will be boys type thing. Falling asleep while drunk on the shitter at a pizza joint in college is comedy. Empirically speaking.Allegedly, blowing a .216 at 300 pounds and having the cops revive you before they arrest you for a second arrest in a year on booze charges isn't funny. Not when it's going to get you booted from school for a year. Not when it's very likely going to cost you a scholarship.
How drunk is .216? And how much booze does it take to get a 300 pound man drunk enough to blow a .216?
The University of Oklahoma published a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) chart to give students a sense of how many beers / shots is a problem. Many other sites have similar charts that reveal similar numbers. Back of the napkin math...if you double a person's body weight, they can handle double the amount of booze. More back on the napkin math, you can lop off about .01 off your BAC for every extra hour that you spread drinking the same quantity of booze.
The Following are Estimates:
A 300 pound kid like Ian Smith would need to drink about 10-12 beers in a single hour to break .18. That's not kidding around drunk. .18 is *shithoused.*
To break .216 a 300 pounder needs about 18-20 beers or a fifth of bourbon (750 ml) or about 18-20 shots over a 2 hour period. If he had been at a 4 hour party, he would've needed about a liter of vodka or 22-25 shots.
Probably 80% of the folks that went to college had a night where they drank way, way, way too much. But damn. Just damn. That's a heap of booze. Especially for a Wednesday.
BTW -- When Smith sobers up, he needs to seriously re-evaluate who his friends are. If you are going to make a drunken ass out of yourself on a regular basis, you need to find a buddy who is good at taking care of the drunks in the group. Friends that leave you unconscious on the sidewalk or the shitter after that much booze aren't worth a damn.
