Message-ID: <1083@hou4b.UUCP> Date: Wed, 8-Aug-84 21:26:45 EDT Article-I.D.: hou4b.1083 Posted: Wed Aug 8 21:26:45 1984 Date-Received: Thu, 9-Aug-84 05:06:32 EDT References: <2175@ihnss.UUCP> Organization: AT&T Information Systems Laboratories, Holmdel, NJ Lines: 20 I second the idea of a drinking license. For those who wanted both a driver's license and a drinker's license, a mandatory class should be established. In the first session, students would be provided with enough alcohol (based on body weight) to bring their BAC to .2% -- legally drunk by a good margin. They would be required to consume it over a half hour period while operating a driving simulator ... one with LOUD alarms for severe errors. The alarms should have VERY unpleasant sounds. In the second session, they would watch another group go through what they did in the first class. The only problem I see is that getting drunk is a somewhat hazardous activity. If someone were to be seriously injured or get seriously sick as a result of this, who would pay?? -- from Mole End Mark Terribile (scrape .. dig ) hou5d!mat ,.. .,, ,,, ..,***_*. (soon hou4b!mat)
