Dear Peltio,
...and it will not be the only thing for which you will go down in the
ICLing annals.
Best wishes to all for this coming New Year,

Vergognati!  Guarda che lo dico a tua mamma la prossima volta che le parlo.  Is
it over 0.8 (legal limit in CA)?

 Vergognati!  Guarda che lo dico a tua mamma la prossima volta che le
parlo.
No, NO !!! Alla mamma no. Ho deciso di diventare astemio pure io.
Solo vedere una bottiglia adesso mi da la nausea.
Anzi, vedere mi da la nausea.
saluti,

 reistalare Winduh da zero.
Reinstallare, is that a proper word in Italian? How about
'rinnstallare'?
Curious,

Curses, foiled again! ...     I had great ideas of being first (being 12
hours ahead of you ) but then my monitor died just as the New Year
beckoned. <sigh>
Hence, my late best wishes to all for the New Year!
cheers,
Loki

Pray tell, what units of measure are you using for the point eight? 
Cheers,

 editors...
I agree: if instead of the prefix "re-" we want to use the prefix "ri-"
the resulting verb is "rinstallare" (as in "rintrecciare",
"rintristire", "rintonacare", etc.).
But AFAIK "rinstallare" had no success.

Buon Anno!  (...Ultima!!!!!)

So I see, now. I thogh it might have been italish.
I didn't have the words reinserire o reintrodurre but did have
"rintegrare". But upon more careful perusing of a dictionary I see
'rei..' is  common enough when avoiding that double i. Otherwise 'ri..'
is a more common prefix.
Live and learn,
cheers,

Oh no!  Did I write that?  I must have been drunk.  That's almost funny! 
0.8...I think that could probably kill you.  I meant 0.08!

Thanks Loki!
The first is correct, the second would be "niente *da* fare".

No, Arianna, I think you got it right the first time: 0.8 per cent. Or,
using a different unit of measure, 8 per mille.
If I got my math right, if champagne contains 12.5% alcohol, and if I
remember my biology right, if we have 5 litres of blood in our body,
that would be 8 millilitres pure alcohol, corresponding to 0.64 litre
champagne.
Sorry, Loki, for using metric measures. Ounces, pints and quarts might
be confusing, these measures meaning different things in the USA and
the British Commonwealth. Did you hear about the space rocket blowing
up, the one to put a satellite into orbit around Mars or something like
that, because at NASA one group of scientists used inches and another
group used centimeters? And that's no joke!

You haven't seen my other posts then :-))) "Remember the Mars Lander!
<crash...tinkle...>" This is a vague reference using an old American cry
"Remember the Alamo! " although I couldn't tell you why they wanted to.

Actually we have gone half-metric in the UK. You can buy wood with a
cross-section of 50mm x 25mm, although you buy it by the foot. .
In any case, Italians haven't REALLY gone metric, I was just reading about
Ligurian boatbuilders who use once, palmi, gove (inches, feet, yards) to
build their gozzi.

Oh no!  it couldn't be 0.8.  You must be joking.  It used to be 0.1 and it was
lowered about 5 years ago.
I got this table from "A guide to California DUI Laws"
Table 1: California's Per Se BAC Limits
Characteristic 
             Criminal Offenses   Civil Offenses 
Driver's Age   
Under 21       .05%                    .01% 
21 and Over   .08%                    .08% 
Commercial
Driver             .04%                   .08% 
I hope the table is clear.  By copying and pasting them sometimes they come out
all screwed up.  Drivers are classified into 3 groups and for each group two
percentages are shown.  the first percentage  is a criminal offense and the
second civil.

>champagne.
12.5% of a 640ml bottle is about 80ml alcohol, which if dissolved into
5 litres of blood becomes 16ml/l, or 0.016% *by volume*
The average bottle of wine contains 80g alcohol, so we can assume alcohol has
roughly a weight of 1g/ml, as does water. So 0.016% by volume is about 16g/L
For some reason, the convention for blood alcohol is recorded in grams alcohol
per decilitre blood (g/dL), not percent. The legal limit in Australia is 0.05 (g/dL)
and elsewhere 0.08, as others have said.
16g/L = 1.6g/dL = 1.6 in the conventional blood alcohol readings. This is roughly
20 times the legal limit
The way you have worked out the blood alcohol concentration is not valid
because champagne (for example) is not mixed directly into the bloodstream
(unless one is taking it intravenously). You need to take into account
absorption, respiration, metabolism, excretion, conversion to water and acetaldehyde 
etc.
From this it can be deduced that 1/20 of a 640ml bottle of intravenous wine (or 32mls)
should be the limit for those who intend to drive! It is probably safer to drink 
the stuff!

Hmm, sorry about the strange line breaks - don't know how that happened!

You're right. I got the decimal point in the wrong place. (now I know
why I didn't want to be an accountant!)
0.08% it is, or 0.8 per mille.
Thanks for setting it straight.
