Youngs Barley Wine. Oh dear. It's brewed but not as we know it.

.068 seems a little low for the amount of outrage.

Again , way too much outrage.

The outrage is because it's Hodge.

Not on a footy field. Mistake , happens 400 times a weekend.

So because everyone else is doing it, its ok?

In almost every other case I could find in a quick search, the player was fined X amount of money internally by their club. Hodge is a public figure and as a result is a role model to many kids. It doesn't exactly send out a positive message as a club that they are against drink driving by not doing anything.

Yes, this is exactly what I mean.

 

[Kramer1]

Wasnt very specific in the interview as for how long or what was being drunk but used the phrase 3 or 4 drinks.

3-4 drinks is universal code for a shitload.

 

[PuffDragon89]

That's more a rule of fist Harks. It's two in the first hour and one for each subsequent hour plus numerous variables. 3-4 drinks over an hour or two would have most people at or over the limit

Standard drink is 10g of alc and the average person loses 8g per hour, I believe.

 

[HARKER]

That or he drinks Brewdog's 'Sink The Bismarck!'

Or Brewmeisters Snake Venom

 

[Gavstar]

3-4 drinks is universal code for a shitload.

4 pints full strength = 9.2 standard drinks a lot!

I'm going to a 50th this afternoon down at the marina.

I will research the hell out of both theories in the name of science.

Don't like how they add alcohol which is why I didn't use it

 

[mediumsizered]

It has been an amazing effort by police and government to reduce the road toll. I recall the scoreboard at the G in about 1969/70 having the number at something like 1035. 1035 dead in one state in one year. It has been reduced by over 2 thirds in a couple of generations.

Declare War On 1034.

 

[ODNBlue]

That's what I was wondering. I'm a lightweight when it comes to drinking and I won't drive if I've had even 2 glasses of wine because I just don't know. How many beers would it take a man of Luke Hodge's size to get him over .06? more than 4, I would guess.

That would actually depend on a number of things, including consumption of food, emotional state, medications, the type of drink (fizzy increases blood alcohol more quickly), alcohol tolerance, metabolism, his rate of consumption, and his fat/muscle. And, as you imagine, his body size and type means he has to drink more...

Frankly, the .05 limit is the problem. Why it's okay to drink any alcohol and then get behind the wheel of a one-to-two tonne weapon is beyond me...

It leaves you open to the same thinking that Luke Hodge used... I feel okay, I'm sure it'll be alright... just stupid.

This is what the police teach in NSW.

2 in the first hour and then 1 every hour after that, as you say. That's standard drinks though so if you're having pints, you're going to be further over.

I haven't seen the interview but 3 or 4 makes sense if he drove within 2 hours of his first drink.

He stated on Friday night that he'd had 3 or 4 drinks and was confident he was not over the limit.

Apparently today he admitted it was 3 or 4 pints , pretty stupid to think you would be under the limit after that.

 

[PuffDragon89]

Youngs Barley Wine. Oh dear. It's brewed but not as we know it.

Lot of beers these days not being brewed as we know it inc. chicken carcass, lobsters, oysters, whale/bull testes, beard yeast, bacon & maple syrup, marshmallow fluff, meteorite dust.. onwards and upwards!

 

[LemmingMaster]

If anyone watched Clarkson's press conference he wants us to have empathy and understanding for poor Hodge. It was such a shameful way to deal with drink driving.
He also attempted to say that virtually everyone in the room has done the same thing as Hodge and has just not been caught.
It honestly showed the mindset of so many people that being "slightly" over the limit is okay.

Results inconclusive.

More testing required.

So FIGJAM moving Pendlebury onto Cripps in the last quarter in our game against the filth wasn't to try and curb Cripps influence?

Moving one of the best mids currently playing onto a 20 year old 20 game veteran... sheesh. I want to know what happens next year when he really gets going. No one on him.

You just did. I'd say a pack of opposition players pummeling you into the centre circle mud was having someone on you.

All the key forwards have banded together for one last ditch.

I was very measured in my response to Lynch. I shouted at the TV. "* off Lynch you ******* idiot!"

The boys club are pushing the agenda hard for Hogan. I hope Cripps wins it to shove it up them all.

 

[Styxx]

This is part of the reason I don't think Cripps will win.

Those with influence don't want him too.

 

[Dramoth]

If Cripps doesnt win the rising star this year, then that award also disappears off into the distance along with the Brownlow medal as being just another arbitrary award.

The Brownlow has of recent times just became a medal to award to midfielders instead of the best player around. The Brownlow is supposed to be awarded to the best player going around.
