Ready For The Weekend

Inspired by our Supreme Court nominee I've been studying up on blackout drinking. I can't gauge other people's expectations but apparently blacking out is somewhat common but hardly inevitable among social drinkers (40% of college age drinkers reported a blackout in previous year). What does it mean for Kavanaugh and his claim that he has never blacked out? I don't know.

Blackouts Among Social Drinkers

Most of the research conducted on blackouts during the past 50 years has involved surveys, interviews, and direct observation of middle–aged, primarily male alcoholics, many of whom were hospitalized. Researchers have largely ignored the occurrence of blackouts among young social drinkers, so the idea that blackouts are an unlikely consequence of heavy drinking in nonalcoholics has remained deeply entrenched in both the scientific and popular cultures. Yet there is clear evidence that blackouts do occur among social drinkers. Knight and colleagues (1999) observed that 35 percent of trainees in a large pediatric residency program had experienced at least one blackout. Similarly, Goodwin (1995) reported that 33 percent of the first–year medical students he interviewed acknowledged having had at least one blackout. “They were inexperienced,” he wrote. “They drank too much too quickly, their blood levels rose extremely quickly, and they experienced amnesia” (p. 315). In a study of 2,076 Finnish males, Poikolainen (1982) found that 35 percent of all males surveyed had had at least one blackout in the year before the survey.

As might be expected given the excessive drinking habits of many college students (Wechsler et al. 2002), this population commonly experiences blackouts. White and colleagues (2002c) recently surveyed 772 undergraduates regarding their experiences with blackouts. Respondents who answered yes to the question “Have you ever awoken after a night of drinking not able to remember things that you did or places that you went?” were considered to have experienced blackouts. Fifty–one percent of the students who had ever consumed alcohol reported blacking out at some point in their lives, and 40 percent reported experiencing a blackout in the year before the survey. Of those who had consumed alcohol during the 2 weeks before the survey, 9.4 percent reported blacking out during this period. Students in the study reported that they later learned that they had participated in a wide range of events they did not remember, including such significant activities as vandalism, unprotected intercourse, driving an automobile, and spending money.

During the 2 weeks preceding the survey, an equal percentage of males and females experienced blackouts, despite the fact that males drank significantly more often and more heavily than females. This outcome suggests that at any given level of alcohol consumption, females—a group infrequently studied in the literature on blackouts—are at greater risk than males for experiencing blackouts. The greater tendency of females to black out likely arises, in part, from well–known gender differences in physiological factors that affect alcohol distribution and metabolism, such as body weight, proportion of body fat, and levels of key enzymes. There also is some evidence that females are more susceptible than males to milder forms of alcohol–induced memory impairments, even when given comparable doses of alcohol (Mumenthaler et al. 1999).

This was a good point -

"The Democrats have also become the new Puritans. Voters should take note, though I doubt Hollywood will.

Thirty years ago, while Judge Kavanaugh was sharing “skis” with his football buddies, Hollywood told us it was the right, the GOP, that were the scolds. Movie after movie, from Footloose to others, had church-going Republicans as the enemy of fun.

Yet Senate Democrats went on the attack, demanding details about beer, parties, farting, beer, sex, drinking games, fun. “Have you ever passed out? Did you ever play quarters? Did you have sex in high school?”"...

FTA - " The U.S. Senate may yet confirm Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, but he should stay off basketball courts for now when kids are around."....

"“I love coaching more than anything I’ve ever done in my whole life,” Kavanaugh said in his opening statement on Thursday. “But thanks to what some of you on this side of the committee have unleashed, I may never be able to coach again.”

He just might be right. Oh, not the part about blaming Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee – that’s just to avoid placing blame on his wholly sympathetic accuser – but the may-never-coach-again part."....

So the FBI gas to re-open process for existing allegations. I presume they don't need to re-interview people they've already talked to. Who's left to interview? Ms. Ford. Her lawyers. The press?

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

I've come to the conclusion if I only read lurkersusie and MM's links and Extraneous and Derwill's analysis I don't really need any other sources to be well informed.

Kavanaugh will be confirmed, if he isn't assassinated first and William Kristol's loathsomeness is unsurpassed. He's begun to take on the look of Dorian Grey after he stabs his portrait.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

And out.

Another thing about those screaming lib. women...

If you're not a gun person, be aware of the NRA's wonderful magazine Armed Citizen. It documents cases where ordinary people were able to protect themselves by being armed and willing to fight back.

Sample story from latest issue:
https://www.theblaze.com/news/2018/08/29/good-people-carry-guns-sheriff-backs-uber-driver-who-shot-threatening-stalker

I think a lot of people just aren't aware that in some locations life is not settled. And in some very safe locations there are, nonetheless, brief times where things are not safe. The media is averse to printing anything against the anti gun agenda so seeing a constant flow of these stories is psychologically healthy and helpful.

This is how I feel about Flake

GOP Officials Slam Flake: 'He's A Pompous A** Who Has Lost His F**king Mind' | Daily Wire

Republican officials sounded off on Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) on Friday afterhe sided with the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee in calling
for an FBI investigation into Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

"He's a pompous a** who has lost his f**king mind," a high-level GOP official told The Daily Wire on the condition of anonymity.

The outrage against Flake came after he changed his mind from voting to confirm Kavanaugh to wanting an FBI investigation completed so that he would "feel better."

You are right. People are REALLY disgusted.

While I was over at CTH I noticed he had a clip from Tucker Carlson's show tonight.

Tucker talked about how the dems wewre operating and how Kavenaugh now has a constituency larger than people would believe.

He finished with this:

“Kavanaugh stood up for those people yesterday. He raised a middle finger to their tormentors; and they love him for it. Kavanaugh is far more popular with republican voters today than any single republican senator; and he’s incalculably more popular than the senate as a whole.” … “Kavanaugh now has a constituency, a powerful one; and they will long remember whether republicans defend him in his moment of need”..

Remember it's a draft report, not the final report.

So the WP and The Hill call it a Trump administration report.

She made the point that no responsible Polygraph operator would give a Polygraph to a subject on or around the day the subject had attended or was about to attend a loved ones Funeral, because the emotions of burying a loved one would in a way overwhelm and thus invalidate the responses that a legitimate Polygraph operator would be trying to record and analyze.

I was so fn pissed about the Kavanaugh situation this afternoon I suggested to D lets go over to the car dealership and look at what we would need to tow a boat and....

D bought a new F-150 truck and traded his Mustang. STX if anyone knows what that is.

We are planning on buying one maybe two Yamaha Wave Runners next spring, and my Escape won't tow them, so we were just gonna go see what was out there to pull them.

I'd like a Glastron GTDX220, but holy geebus $37K for a deck boat??? and payments of like $700 a month. For a glorified deck boat. NO way.

At least the Waverunners run on regular gas station gas not marine gas and cost about 1/2 as much for a couple of middle of the line ones.

Fun new toys for the lake and we can take them to the Keys next fall. Plus when we move to S Florida, we will have them.

Progs wail and cry to keep themselves miserable and conservatives buy toys to have fun.

Should I send the bill to Flake or start a GoFundMe???

As he considered his course of action, Flake also had a conversation with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who is in charge of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.

Coons said Flake asked to speak to Feinstein. Eventually, it became a scrum where "virtually every member of the committee" gathered in the anteroom. Flake later told reporters he met with Democratic colleagues and asked them, "What would cause you to say we have a better process?"

I also killfiled Tom R some time ago. I don't mind his theories, but his presentation and follow-up were triggering me.

I also decided to killfile TK today. I don't see Tom R's posts, so TK's responses make no sense to me.
