Nice comment Cammer. Typical. Is it against the law to drive when you're hung over?  ::) Maybe the boys in blue should give out 72 hour suspensions.

Nice fish.  That'll cure a hang over!

"Under the influence" is defined in BC as having a Blood Alcohol content greater than .08 although a officer can also charge you with driving under the influence if you cannot pass a roadside test like touching your nose while standing on one foot, or walking heel to toe in a straight line.

Also you should note that a hangover can last two to three days after drinking. Well past when your body would have processed the alcohol.

When in doubt, ask a UBC engineer student, especially about alcohol consumption. :)

If I recall correctly it goes something like this:

We are, we are the Engineers
We can, we can drink 40 beers..... ;D

Well if a perosn was drinking heavily as described, there could defenetly be alcohol still in the blood the following morning.  You might not feel it, but it could still be detected by an ASD.  Why take the chance? 

You dont have to blow 80mg% to get a 24 hour prohib.  Blowing a warn will get you one.  You could alos get one for being high or just in the opinion of the officer that you should not be operating a motor vehicle. 

Congrats on the fish, its a beauty

research alcohol in the system before anybody pops off, i will guarantee he was over the limit, a hangover is the brains way of telling you your lacking fuids(WATER) OR DEHYDRATED from over indulging in alcohol,  and what 3- 4 hours sleep maybe, what is the rate the liver processes alcohol at??   call a spade a spade and at least you can live with yourself for it, everyone has broken the law on here(speeding, underage drinking, etc etc) but im not on here admitting to it, be prepared for comments like that if admitting  an offense especially as heinous as drinking and driving,  sorry case closed

how can you "guarantee" something like that?there are many factors that could effect his alcohol levels. not just sleep.i do agree with you that its a heinous offense to be drunk and driving.doesn't mean steel_mo_head was tho.

Wow... did this ever get off track... I would say you just need a little more info cammer before you can start accusing someone of drinking and driving after they say they were hung over... not sure your really backing it up with facts. Having a headache because you had a few beers or a bottle of wine the night before does not mean you are going to be impaired the next morning... If the poor guy drank a bottle of jack and a 6 pack then drove 4 hours after his last drink you may have a point, the point here is the poor guy is excited about his steelhead and makes a post and you without the proper info totally ruin the party on a comment based on pure speculation.... congrats on the fish, ignore the posts that are just really meant to inflame.

Hey guys, this is a fishing forum, not O.J's trial or Nancy Grace's column....  ;D

Well done, especially for a newbie solo act. Congrats. Some people take years to hook and land a steelie.  Now you are hooked for life with steelheading.  :D

Cammer:

A hangover is the effects of alcohol on the body including dehydration, hypoglycemia, as well as a B12 and Magnesium deficiency. It is the result of drinking and means the body is passed the inebriated state. If you were still drunk you wouldn't feel the effects of a hangover.

The liver process ~1 drink per hour. With 3-4 hours of sleep the alcohol from the last two hours of drinking in a night should be gone.

And as for calling a spade a spade; You are definitely not on here admitting to your illegal actives. You really don't contribute anything useful on here. You don't post reports and you're always quick to find fault in anyone's post. It takes a special person to always see the negative.

I've met you in person and you've always come across as a good guy who is genuinely concerned for the provinces fisheries. I just don't understand why you choose to cause so many problems on here.
