One pint is 0.568 liters, so 6 pints of vodka is about 3 1/2 liters @ 37%, so that's approximately 1 1/4 litres of alcohol over 6 hours.

Weird.
Usually the body has a good defense-mechanism and very capable of dealing with a good flood of toxins. If the puking doesn't help a blackout often follows, with the body shutting down everything but the essentials. If that far gone, then it may be helpfull to dilute it with water, lotsa water.

Waiting for a train to turn up.
Probably won't hit the Lord Nelson till 16:00. Hope to post again before I'm too pissed to handle the phone.

It's the first pub we're going to.
If you find my post from much earlier this morning I list links to the 3 pubs I want to visit.

Sounds like fun, Michael! A good, old fashioned pub crawl.

It's delightful to see a post like this one by Andreas Gieriet: [^] that stands out, in my (rapidly deteriorating) eyes, as what I consider a thoughtful reply that has enduring technical value !
You'll forgive me if I step, once again, into "Isiah's sandals" for a moment, and excoriate declaim once again: "how long will it take for CodeProject to reform rejuvenate QA ?"
cheers, Bill, ex-MVP

I'm curious, just what do you expect CP to do to QA to improve it?

Let me translate that into Isiah-speak:
"Change the structure that generates a tidal wave of garbage questions, garbage answers, and reputation scores that mean nothing."
For details, please see my response to MyCroft on this thread.
By the way, I think (hope) you know that I consider you one of the outstanding mentors, and responders, on CP !
cheers, Isaih

1. My tongue was pushed far into my cheek. 
2. Your suggestions have much to commend them. 
3. You are far too generous with your words of praise.

Hi MyCroft,
How about consider, and implement, some of the specific suggestions I have made numerous times, over several years, in the Suggs&Buggs forum ?
Like requiring the OP to make some choices on a simple form where they select the technology stack (WinForms, WPF, ASP.NET, WebForms, etc.), the language (C#, VB, etc.). Perhaps check some CheckBoxes for "problem" content areas (Database, WebBrowser, Linq, etc.
Such a simple requirement would, at one stroke, reduce the number of times we have to ask the person (who never tags their question) to tell us what they are asking about. And, also, I believe, will reduce the number of "static" questions that are asked because people do not respect what they are "given" without some requirement that they make an effort.
The other aspects of site reform that need to be done is in terms of behavior of those who reply; and, that, in my opinion. would require a complete reputation reset of everyone's rep-points, followed by a period of "draconian" restraint until some semblance of sanity was restored.
Each MVP on CodeProject should be required to answer/reply-to at least ten questions per month to keep their status.
Don't you find it a bit "unbelievable" that some of the brightest lights on CP ... Pete O'Hanlon, Marc Clifton, for example ... have been "driven-off" QA ?
cheers, Isiah

But for a slightly different reason.

One of the best ways to reduced nesting "If" statements, is by failing first and failing fast, with your conditional logic. ReSharper can help you spot that in applications with a large code base, or small. Just saying.

uhhh ... Slacker, you may wish to post that as a comment on the OP's question on QA ?

LOL. I just answered a silly question in the QA, just now. So much for "ever".
Why you ask. Too many prima donnas and know it alls in the QA now, a few in particular. They seem to have everything under control, I guess. ![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif)
Also, I don't like how the QA forum is run internally, on so many levels.
Let's put it this way, when I need the answer to a question or problem, I don't use our QA, I use a couple of other ones.

Paging Charles Darwin[^]  
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

We used do something like this when I was a kid (a bit less dangerous though)
The leads on appliances get frayed after some years of use, and the conductor sometimes breaks inside the insulation, near the plug. A replacement plug could be bought, but that was a two-hour bus ride away, so we used to cut off the plug entirely and shove the ends of the wire directly into the socket.
The holes are circular like this[^], so the wire would get detached hundreds of times during use before someone actually remembered to get a new plug.
