Oh thanks, yea I know, if brains were gun powder........................
I understood your grandmothers intentions, I would think that a scoop would
probably turn your stomach enough so you wouldn't want to drink, in which
case the goal would have been achieved, at least that's probably what my
reaction would have been.
I've got a sign for you
Jim

Jim,
Since my 30's I have one modus operandi. If I feel anything, I give my keys
away. Today, that means, martini's are out if I am driving. Now, as for
the butter, the point was to make it so you could drink more without getting
drunk. In those days we didn't drink to get zonked like today, we drank to
lower inhibitions and have a good time. Heck, we were supposed to be
gentlemen. And my grandmother wanted us to be well behaved in public. She
used to say "Gentlemen don't get soused." (Who was that Churchill guy? He
didn't drink a lot, he drank a little all day.)
I prefer a silly ass to a stupid ass.
I was prepared for a battle of the wits, but it appears you are unarmed.
What's your sign?
Best,
Leland

Then what's the point? Delaying (and even slowing) the effect of the
alcohol would seem to be particularly dangerous as there seems to be a
self-regulating mechanism in that the more drunk you get the harder it
gets to keep drinking and the more likely the body is going to reject
it. If delayed, it might then be easier to get lethally drunk. Can you
imagine if the butter really works at delaying the effects such that you
felt fine when you started to drive but as you are rolling along the
effects suddenly kicked in? Obviously you made it this far without
incident I assume so it must not be that bad an ides but still it seems
better to learn to just put down the glass than to chase a prophylactic
wad of butter.
