Viaene Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 I always wondered why there's such a 'taboo' on being drunk/drinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzor Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Here in Canada there's more of a taboo on smoking than drinking. But I don't care what anyone says: I do both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 I always wondered why there's such a 'taboo' on being drunk/drinking Because people usually are a pest when they´re (very) drunk... it´s not fun when you´re the only one who´s sober... while on weed -or other stuff-, people won´t even notice.

The Seeker Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 And I agree with edna... drunk people aren't really very nice to be around unless you're drunk yourself, plus they tend to say and do stupid things... anything that makes a person lose control over themselves to some extent is a bit of a taboo.

Rayzor Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Sorry B-F, I wasn't trying to imply that I was the ONLY drunk... just that I talk about it more. As for the taboo on drunkeness, luckily I'm just more talkative when I drink and I don't say anything to hurt others. If I were like that I wouldn't drink (whiskey makes me that way).

blind-fitter Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Sorry B-F, I wasn't trying to imply that I was the ONLY drunk... just that I talk about it more. No apologies required honestly, mate. I wasn't offended in any way. I mentioned it only because I didn't want you to feel alone. I'll talk more about my occasional drunken escapades, if that helps at all. Better still, we should get johnnyguitar to reveal more of himself. I've heard said that when he gets going, he drinks like a fish with a thirst for oblivion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcM Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 I shall now attempt to do something useful here, for once. Ways to get the most our of pumping gas (petrol.) I don't know what you guys are paying for gasoline.... but here in California we are also paying higher, up to $3.50 per gallon. But my line of work is in petroleum for about 31 years now, so here are some tricks to get more of your money's worth for every gallon. Only buy or fill up your car or truck in the early morning when the ground temperature is still cold. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground the more dense the gasoline, when it gets warmer gasoline expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening....your gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products plays an important role. A 1-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps. When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to a fast mode. If you look you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high. In slow mode you should be pumping on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapors that are created while you are pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapor return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some of the liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapor. Those vapors are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you're getting less worth for your money. One of the most important tips is to fill up when your gas tank is HALF FULL or HALF EMPTY. The reason for this is, the more gas you have in your tank the less air occupying its empty space. Gasoline evaporates faster than you can imagine. Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating roof. This roof serves as zero clearance between the gas and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation. Unlike service stations, here where I work, every truck that we load is temperature compensated so that every gallon is actually the exact amount. Another reminder, if there is a gasoline truck pumping into the storage tanks when you stop to buy gas, DO NOT fill up--most likely the gasoline is being stirred up as the gas is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom. Hope this will help you get the most value for your money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
