How much alcohol would you have to consume

[Radical Activist]

before you switched sexual orientations and started sending sexual emails to an underage subordinate employee?
Since this is being blamed on alcohol abuse (Foley is going into rehab), I'm just wondering if anyone else reacts to alcohol this way, because for me, I've never been that drunk.

1. wow...

the person is blaming alcohol? how can they send an email if they were that drunk?

2. well i live in a party town

which is also a military town, which also has a lot of gay folks (imagine!) and one of the favorite jokes a gay friend of mine likes to tell is as follows: "What is the difference between a gay marine and a straight marine?" Answer: A six-pack.

But that notwithstanding, I think that while one might do something spontaneous under the influence...I sure don't think long-time pursuit, emails, messaging etc. is something done while drunk. No way.

3. I can't say for sure, but if it was going to happen it would probably

be just this side of 'death by alcohol poisoning.'

Now, if the question was limited just to sending sexual e-mails, I can hit that point about 1/3 of the way through a diluted strawberry-flavored Bartles & James...

4. If I drank every drink I've had in my life in an hour on an empty stomach

I still could not possibly get that drunk.

10. Especially in the south and west

Every southerner and westerner right now is thinking about how drunk he's ever been with a great big bodily SHUDDER and thinking "no way would I go gay under the influence."

Except, of course, for the ones that turn gay under the influence.

It's got to be there in the first place in order for it to emerge under cover of alcohol.

8. Ah, the old "blame alcohol" ploy

Right up there with "blame depression" and "blame bipolar" and "blame my rotten mother." Gives all us honest alcoholics a bad name! :grr:

9. It just isn't possible.

I'd die of alcohol poisoning first. :shrug:
