Yeah how come I'm only 0.04 for 1 vodka drink in 1 hour. I only weigh like 108 :huh:
 
Apparently I still had the Oprah show on my TiVo that was previously discussed in this thread. Horrifying. :sad: Perhaps "alcoholics" should be forced to watch it and rethink their actions

TMZ has learned that Paris Hilton suffers from extreme Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and claustrophobia, and these conditions may have triggered the Sheriff's decision to spring her from Lynwood Jail last week.

We're told Hilton is taking Adderall for her ADD. Although our sources were not specific, we're told Hilton was not receiving all of her medications at Lynwood. As a result, Hilton was having severe panic attacks in jail. There were times she was so debilitated, she could not push the panic button in her cell.

As for how she's doing today, she's depressed but not really crying. She has a pencil and a pad of paper and she's spending her time writing down her thoughts. We're also told she's losing weight -



It costs more than 10 times the normal amount to jail Paris Hilton.

TMZ contacted the Sheriff's Department to determine just how much money the County is spending on Hilton -- and it's way more than it costs to stay at a Hilton!

Sheriff's spokesperson Steve Whitmore tells TMZ the average cost per day for a female inmate is $99.64. Paris, well, ain't no bargain. It costs $1,109.78 to keep her locked up. The costs include medical treatment and staff associated with her needs.

By the way, if Hilton were under house arrest, it would cost taxpayers zilch. The inmate shells out the cost of doing time at home.

I'm betting your lemon drops have more than 1.5 oz of vodka then add the triple sec... .09

Yeah well the website doesnt know that!

I do use 2oz when I make a drink, but my triple sec doesnt have alcohol in it.
 
Way to go Daddy! Well there you go, that would sure help Paris change her ways.

June 12, 2007 -- Paris Hilton is supposedly at the breaking point in jail - but she'll be breaking out the champagne and partying like mad the second she's released, if her parents get their way.

Page Six has learned that the celebutard's doting daddy, Rick Hilton, was recently shopping a "Get Out of Jail" bash for his little girl to the top Las Vegas clubs, including Pure, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and the Palms.

"He was originally asking for a $50,000 cash fee to be paid, as well as accommodations and flights," said our source. "Pure and Hard Rock said 'no' flat out, but George Maloof, who owns the Palms, didn't say yes or no. He's very good pals with Paris and is the one who once hooked her up with Britney Spears."

But following last week's Paris pingpong match - in which the L.A. Sheriff's Dept. sprung her from the slammer because of a "medical condition," only to have a judge order her back inside - Rick's big party-push has been put on hold. Still, insiders say they're positive an out-of-the-slammer soiree remains in the works and will be even more expensive than Rick originally had in mind. "Her cost has gone up," said our informer. Hilton rep Eliot Mintz did not return e-mails.
 
Her dad is an idiot. Paris got dropped by her agent.

Agent Drops Paris Hilton as Client

By Elizabeth Leonard

"Paris is no longer a client," says Endeavor agency rep Michael Donkis, who declined to specify a reason for the move.

According to a source, Hilton was dropped last Friday – the day she was ordered back to jail from home confinement. The move was announced in a company-wide email, the source says.

The Beverly Hills-based agency has represented Hilton since 2005, handling her deal for The Simple Life.

Hilton, meanwhile, spent her fourth night in the medical ward of the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in downtown Los Angeles. She is serving out a 23-day minimum sentence for violating probation in an alcohol-related driving case.
 
Oh dear.

and then this

With all the positive news surrounding Paris Hilton's stint in prison to surface over the last few days - news, for instance, of her supportive friends or her improving mental condition - we're saddened to report that our source says Paris's mental state has allegedly taken a recent turn for the worse during her stay at the Twin Towers detention facility. An X17 source is reporting that Paris has been assigned "three additional guards to watch her 'round the clock."

One sheriff's guard will be stationed at the elevator, one at the doorway of into the health ward, and one at the door of her room. Our sources the "sheriff is worried for Paris' mental state after recent erratic behavior" and that she has definitely not been cleared to leave the psychiatric ward.


Now she's playing the psycho card :huh:
 
as stated earlier by a poster that I cannot recall in either this thread or another similar one...

"ow...I hurt my eyes from rolling them too hard":rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Now thats teaching her a bigger lesson than jail. :der:

and you can kill someone by not paying attention to the road because of
--your cell phone
--the radio
--your iPod
--doing your makeup
--eating
--talking to a passenger
--thinking
--sun glare
--sneezing
--fatigue
--etc. etc. etc.

look, i'm not trying to make light of DUI/DWI. it needs to be taken seriously and my utmost sympathies to anyone who's been a victim of DUI... but there is a huge difference between having one drink and having a dozen. just because yes, you can still kill someone after one drink doesn't mean that having one drink is the same as having 10 or more.

exxxxactly. if someone has 1 beer and drives and gets into an accident, that doesn't mean the beer caused the accident. if someone has a sip of wine at church then gets in an accident on the way home, it doesnt mean the wine is what caused it. there are lots of reasons for accidents. theres a study that shows talking on a cell phone is more dangerous than driving at the drunk .08 level.

Maneuvering through traffic while talking on the phone increases the likelihood of an accident five-fold and is actually more dangerous than driving drunk, U.S. researchers report.

That finding held true whether the driver was holding a cell phone or using a hands-free device, the researchers noted.

"As a society, we have agreed on not tolerating the risk associated with drunk driving," said researcher Frank Drews, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Utah. "This study shows us that somebody who is conversing on a cell phone is exposing him or herself and others to a similar risk -- cell phones actually are a higher risk," he said.

His team's report appears in the summer issue of the journal Human Factors.

so... in another words, she shouldn't drive at all? :hmm:

well, 40% of accidents are "alcohol related," that means 60% of accidents are from sober people. frankly, it seems we should be banning the sober people instead :wink:

A much needed dose of common sense, although doubtless you'll still be falsely accused of defending or even advocating drunk driving.

It's almost impossible to have a debate on issues where the moral majority have already decided on the correct opinion to hold.

So this country should just allow people to get shitfaced and drive in any condition? Do away with BAC? Or is this only for women you deem attractive?

This is such an absurd and dramatic misrepresentation of what Chizip actually posted that you cannot be serious.

You must be indulging in hyperbole.

:rolleyes:

earlier this year i defended a 63 year old man in a similiar situation. i guess it was because i have the hots for him too.

to be honest i couldnt give a shit about Paris Hilton. i just think the joy people get out of others downfalls is a bit sick.

Who blows .08% after one drink? Unless you've got an enzymatic defect (and even then, unlikely), nobody has one glass of wine and then blows a .10%.

If you're a 200 lb guy, you'd need to have 4.5 drinks IN SUCCESSION. If you space them out, subtract .01% for every 40 minutes that span your drinking. If anyone thinks it's fine for a guy to down 5 shots one after another and then get into a car and drive....I think there is something questionable with your reasoning.

Nobody gets pulled over for a DUI after 1-2 drinks. Nobody. It's not even worth discussing. Whether .08% is reasonable, however, is definitely discussion-worthy.


Question: what about the effect of medications one might be taking (particularly meds that affect the liver in some way)? Could that skew the readings?

I ask because I used to take a depression med that seemed to intensify the effects of alcohol (having one drink would feel like two, two like four, etc.)

Had to be *very* careful about how much (or even if) to drink...

Doesn't hurt that he won a World Series last year, does it. :rolleyes:

Whatever. You're the one that brought up how hot you think she is and that the people who don't like her must be jealous.

actually, other people brought up her looks and how ugly she is. all i was saying is people on this board must be pretty damn hot and/or have super high standards to call her ugly.

I thought this was interesting. I'm a .07 after one drink an hour. that doesn't even take into effect other health factors, that would probably push it higher.

You can calculate here:
http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/bac


You must be a "little person", aka 'dwarf' then.



Honestly, with my heavy drinking, I'm a .10% after SEVEN DRINKS. Meaning at .08% with my health factor, is usually around 4 drinks, and I never ever drive after that. My having two or three drinks should not prevent me from driving home, it is not harmful. My having OVER three drinks is illegal, as it should be, and anything after four drinks is BAD.
In fact, one time my family was having dinner and my uncle is a police officer, and we were having red wine with dinner and each of us adults had maybe 3 or maybe 3 and a half, since we finished two bottles. But we had all got up to leave and drive home, apparently not even the cop sat there and counted out how many drinks or how long to calculate or estimate what his BAC level is.

BAC levels really do vary depending on a person's status, their weight, their ethnicity, etc etc.

But I'm here to say that just because someone has one or two drinks in them make them a danger on the road...

unless it's a dwarf that has had two drinks.

I personally think that .08% is a bit too strict, but for our nation, we deserve it.
We're fucking spoiled and we're fucking up this country decade by decade.
Look at fucking Paris Hilton, OK we get it, you hate prison and you think it's unfair, go the fuck away and deal with it. Stop making us hear about it by worming your way onto the View.
Go cry in your little cell. Waaa waaa.

Want someone to call a WAAAAmbulance for you?

We need stricter rules to prevent shit like this. Seriously. I'm all for .01% levels if we keep this shit up!

What drug was that?

I have to be careful too, I take barbiturates at times and sometimes they "speed up" the drunkeness...

That happened to me a lot, with my medicine. And I used to have to take certain painkiller/meds shots for a headache that I could never ever drink with and I found when I DID mix it, it caused some pretty bad behavior. And I had only drank a little.
I used to down a six pack, no problem, but this night, I went out of control!!!
I was wondering if my meds had to do with it...and I think it did.

So yes, mixing any kind of medication with alcohol DOES affect your vulnerability, even though it might NOT affect your BAC.

Everything you said in this post about what else can cause accidents is true. I tend to bristle at this kind of argument, however, because someone could take it as permission to drive after drinking. "Hey, I only had 2, and I KNOW I'm okay."

And you know what? They may be. But you know what? They might not be, either. I wish more people would err on the side of thinking they'd better not drive, or wait another hour before doing so.

:yes:
