Consuming a single drink increases the risk that a 60-year-old treadmill walker stumbles over an obstacle thrown in his or her way, according to a study published last Thursday by a group of Dutch researchers.The results throw into question the wisdom of your drunkle's workout habits and cast doubt on the safety of the .08 percent legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) for automobile drivers in all US states.
According to online BAC calculators, a 160-pound human can drink 4 beers in an hour before his or her BAC eclipses .08 percent.
A 200-pound senior citizen playing 'Edward Forty-Hands' (drinking Old English sold in eastern US states, malt liquor sold in western states is more alcoholic) would finish the game in an hour with a BAC of .13 percent, scraped knees, soaked Depends and the dumb grin of a child who has hit a single in tee ball.
Consider this a reminder to start a business bringing drinking games to geriatric homes. Also, to do your part to keep old drunks off treadmills and off roads, too.
