In a video game, obviously.

I'm sure I can't be the only one who's thought of this, have tried the odd idle attempt at racing around a track sozzled but nothing really learnt. Since I'm miles away from all my mates ATM, but with access to booze, I thought I might try something a bit more scientific. A controlled amount every 15mins or so, find a track I'm consistent on and record my times. I'm not trying to learn anything about drink driving IRL as such, just seeing what happens. Thoughts/experiences? I couldn't find anything in the search.

Note: arguably this could go in Science! as well (I know I could just find data off the 'net, but hey doing it yourself is fun), so mods, feel free to move.

I may have some experience in this. I'm sure jay will be along soon to take the piss out of me.


It definitely slowed down my reactions, I went from seeing the back step out and being able to correct quite quickly to being on my roof thinking, eh?

Braking points were all over the place as well.

Don't be silly. I've got wooden flooring.
