    Wine tasting: Is it considered drinking if you don't swallow?

    Wine tasting: Is it considered drinking if you don't swallow?

    It's not a good idea to get completely hammered when visiting vineyards though. Your judgement goes out the window and you end up buying crap that you regret. I still have cases of overpriced junk from a drunken romp through Napa 4 or 5 ago. I try to give it away now at every opportunity. So now...

    Wine tasting: Is it considered drinking if you don't swallow?

    Yes this is the way I see it. The 8 hour rule really only speaks to what is swallowed. I don't know if there is any evidence that you will absorb alcohol through your tongue... Those tests where people spat and did not swallow but still showed some alcohol well I would be suspicious of whether...

    Wine tasting: Is it considered drinking if you don't swallow?

    Who said anything about being screwed? We're talking spitting or swallowing. :dunno:

    Wine tasting: Is it considered drinking if you don't swallow?

    I flew with some friends to a couple of vineyards and stood by while they all sampled. I then got to thinking: What if I just tasted but then spat out and made sure I didn't drink? Strictly speaking doesn't the 8 hour bottle to throttle rule apply to alcohol actually ingested? I mean how can you...

    Why does a lot of pilots fear flying over water?

    Are you people reading this stuff? They are saying there is not enough evidence to draw conclusions from the accident reports. STOP JUST READING THE HEADLINES! You are being fooled by the use of the word "myth". They present no data and no evidence.

    Why does a lot of pilots fear flying over water?

    Again not relevant. It says in fact in that article you linked to that: "Unfortunately, the accident records shed no useful light on this controversy. " The controversy in question being whether to land with the gear up or down. Have a look. Yes it highlights the section as "Myth 5: In...

    Why does a lot of pilots fear flying over water?

    Thank you nice article but it is not relevant to the argument of whether landing a retractable gear plane in water should be done with gear up or down if you want to prevent flipping.

    Why does a lot of pilots fear flying over water?

    And do you have a verifiable reference based on actual data for your assertion in red? You do realize, I hope, that it is not good enough to just read it. Just because it is printed does not mean it is true. Reference please. :rolleyes: This amazes me. You apply logic to thinking about...

    Free Smart Phone App to make initial contact with ATC

    Can you have it provide a phone number too? I can already get the frequency rapidly from my iPad and ForeFlight by bringing up the low level IFR chart. If you can also provide a local phone number... Now that could be useful sometimes. Not in the air but on the ground if the airport I'm trying...

    Oshkosh -- the Touchstone of our Lives

    Well... What happened here is that there is a pizza party and you decided to come in here and **** on the pizza. Big difference. But it is good that people like you stay away from Oshkosh. We don't need whiny glass-half-empty types spoiling it for the rest of us. By all means stay away...

    Why does a lot of pilots fear flying over water?

    It's not sustainable though otherwise we would be seeing records where someone has ridden a motorcycle across the English Channel and so on. Sure you can jump short stretches like snowmobiles across small stretches of open water but as you know every year a bunch of people end up dead because...

    Oshkosh -- the Touchstone of our Lives

    Why are you looking at the dudes? The rest of us are looking at the planes. The scenery is pretty good for those of us not into sausage jockeying.

    Why does a lot of pilots fear flying over water?

    :D I agree almost reason enough for us to stop posting to it so it disappears. Damn. Just realized I brought it to the top again!
