Talk:Alcohol tolerance

message: Does metabolism affect alcohol tolerance? Some guy 09:08, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Tolerance

message: I'm sorry, but the logic here is not making complete sense to me. I think there really needs to be a citation for that "study" that reports equal BAC among alcoholics with varying levels of response. The page suggests that individuals who are chronic alcoholics are less susceptible to the effects of alcohol at a given blood concentration than regular people because of increased alcohol dehydrogenase. Alcohol dehydrogenase is an enzyme which oxidizes and neutralizes ethanol. If chronic alcoholics have increased alcohol dehydrogenase production, it would require MORE alcohol to effectively raise their BAC vs. normal individuals, but once it reaches a certain level the effects should be equal among any individual. That is to say, increased alcohol dehydrogenase would enable a person to consume more alcohol without raising their BAC as much as a non-alcoholic with a similar body mass index. Increased enzyme concentration may increase speed of alcohol degradation and therefore its blood concentration during a given time, but it does nothing to alter the effects of the ethanol on the brain and nervous system once it reaches a certain concentration in the blood. This is a liver enzyme after all, not a neurotransmitter or something. I think there may have been a misinterpretation of the study, but it is impossible for me to tell because it is not cited.--Wingsfan6047 23:49, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Citations

message: That was what I was thinking, but according to about.com the effects at same BAC values can be much lower for people accustomed to alcohol. This is called Functional Tolerance:
"Humans and animals develop tolerance when their brain functions adapt to compensate for the disruption caused by alcohol in both their behavior and their bodily functions. This adaptation is called functional tolerance (2). Chronic heavy drinkers display functional tolerance when they show few obvious signs of intoxication even at high blood alcohol concentrations (BAC's), which in others would be incapacitating or even fatal (3)."

::...at cultural levels where where vinaigrette is thought to be "vinegarette". This is just Bush-league silliness. --Wetman 10:37, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Wetman is of course, absolutely right.  The erroneous almondine spelling and pronunciation, although perhaps uttered by a few uninformed individuals, is neither common nor correct.  I can find no published dictionary that uses the spelling, except for one that lists it as an alternate spelling for Almandine (a type of garnet).  The unsourced claim that almondine is more common doesn't seem right.  The correct amandine spelling is more common on Google, despite the fact that "almondine" hits include those for the gemstone.  Bottom line, this article was erroneously moved to almondine and should be moved back.  Moreover, this is an English wikipedia, not an American wikipedia---even if there are many Americans who misspell the word, that doesn't mean wikipedia should.  I've moved it.--Bibliophylax (talk) 01:38, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:List of mammals of Australia

message: The formats of the sublists need unifying.  I suggest following the List of Australian birds format, vis:
** Generally two levels of headings at the Order and Family level, formatted as heading levels 2 and 4 (3 is a bit large for Family names).  Add or substitute Class, Subclass, Suborder, Subfamily, Tribe etc only where they add something useful.  No heading at genus level (redundant - the binomial covers it).
** Headings are the bare latin name, wikilinked - ie omit the redundant words "Order", "Family", etc (the standard latin forms already say it).  Add clarifying group common names in parenthesis where warranted, but watch the resulting TOC width.
** , except if there is some format conflict
** A bullet for each species
** An indented bullet for each sub-species, where warranted
** Common name first (wikilinked), then scientific binomial (italics), then notes, all comma separated
** Wikilinking the scientific name is redundant and reduces readability (it loses the colour contrast), but it helps initially with finding typos and missing redirects

thread_title: humans

message: It is implied from the statement 'This is a sub-list of the list of mammals of Australia.' that this list only includes established populations of introduced placentals. If so it is also a sub-list of the 'List of introduced species'. Would it not be sensible to make this list different by including all placentals for which introduction failed, or which the species was subsequently eradicated? There are currently species on this list for which there are no established populations - Eastern gray squirrel, Indian Grey Mongoose, and European Polecat. So either these species are removed, or the list is formally expanded. If no comments are forthcoming within a month I shall amend the introduction to show that the list is expanded to include previously introduced placentals.

Talk:Sutton Bridge

message: I have made a number of edits. The error that attracted my attention to this page was the claim that the son of King John who inherited the throne was 'Edward 111' when he was, of course, Henry, and not '111' but 'III'.
The story of King John on that fateful day in 1216 is not legend, but recorded history. There are accounts in three chronicles, two of which were written by those who were contemporary to the event. All three agree on (five) major points.
The tidal estuary, in which Sutton Bridge was founded, was subject to reclamation from the 16th century. This shortened the track across it from 4.5 miles to 2.25 miles. There were losses - such as John's baggage train - on the stretch of track between Sutton Bridge and Long Sutton, before this first reclamation. The more recent losses were on the shorter track between Sutton Bridge and Walpole.
Reclamation continued until 1972.
