actually i was drunk all last semester and had a 3.7. in fact, its lowkey a sign of severe alcoholism to be able to take several shooters several times throughout the shift/day, and drink at night and still be productiveand cognizant bc ur tolerance is so high. so. check up on ur friends AND coworkers bc you rlly never know

for reference, i had a psychotic break one night had to call 911. my BAC was .33. .40 is the threshold for alcohol poisoning. and the er notes say “thinking logically, able to hold conversations, no physical impairment”. the functional alcoholics are the ones u gotta watch no bs
