Toxicology reports have come back and Ratliff was drunk

[dexternjack]

Does it really matter how drunk he was? He made a stupid decision which is magnified because of the Brent incident.

Drunk is drunk when it comes too driving.

How many games will he be suspended?

All we know is at the time his blood was drawn he was intoxicated. He should have called a cab, drank less or stayed home.

what is says is that he knew he was drinking way to much and continued to do so knowing he had to drive home. Also, I believe Jay became a father little over a year ago. Jay is obviously making some poor decisions over past few months and you just hope he has capacity to get his life together before another event lands him in big trouble.

Lol @ grown-up beer. Is Shiner in that category? What about Sam Adams?

Shiner, not at all.

Sam Adams is for people who think they like good beer but don't know what good beer is.

so if it isn't 8-9% ABV (or higher) it's not grown-up beer? Most of that beer tastes like garbage (hop saturated swill) and costs about as much as liquor.

Yes. If you have a taste for girl beer, real beers will hit your palate like that.

If you are ever in Fort Collins stop by the New Belgium brewery. They have some pretty high gravity stuff over there that is absolutely the best tasting beer you could ever imagine.

I like beer at isn't flavored like a bar of soap. You can take your IPA and shove it.

Yeah, not sure about the idea.

Frown on a light beer all you want but until you've tried something like Mephistopheles you aren't exactly taking a whole lot of risk.

Give that one a shot. Spendy and usually sold as individuals but I dare say that nobody would want more than one.

BTW, that Scottish fool in the video is completely full of crap. That beer's name is perfect because it's absolutely evil.
