      Would vomiting work then? I've heard that the reason you feel better after a vomit session is because it gives you a shot of adrenaline. Or is the feeling better after vomiting a placebo?
      You might even vomit from nausea from the hangover. I've never had a hangover though so I don't know if it gives you nausea.
      TL;DR
      Would vomiting work, apparently it gives you adrenaline, or is it a placebo? A hangover might cause you to vomit anyway.

    I noticed Adam got better than even the sober control value towards the last couple of tests. It's not entirely clear whether the improvement was due to the exercise + slap or just because Adam was practising and getting better at doing the test. Even Jamie improved from the first drunk test to the last although not as much and he never did better than his sober control.

    Pepper Spraying your junk works. The adrenaline response from it metabolizes alcohol fast, which rids the body of the alcohol, sobering you up quickly.

      @LazyYes 6 лет назад +12

      0.08 is nothing. It's probably 0.8. Here in Sweden we have quite strict DUI regulations, and you cant have over 0.2. Usually a grown up man can handle about 1 beer (around 5%, 33cl cans) and drive after. But it's rly cutting it close for 2 beers/you probably wont be able to drive legaly.

    • @Cilghal001
      @Cilghal001 6 лет назад +11

      at 1:01 they say "point o eight" which is 0.08, which is kinda low. But hey, you are usually supposed to wait at least 15 minutes before you use the breath analyser. Same goes for cigarretes :)
      just a theory:
      So I guess that if you are a bit drunk or have a hangover while driving and the police stop you and demand you take a breath analyser just smoke a cigarrete, quickly take the test. If the machine says you´re above limit. You say whatever and get somebody sober to get you home. You can later say that the machine wasn´t used properly as you have smoked a cigarrete. Most Breath analysers have it stated in a manual that they aren´t as accurate. Boom, you don´t have to pay the ticket. :D

    I usually have my drinks, and if the buzz starts feeling like I'm spinning or uncomfortable, eating a good meal usually calms the buzz waaaay down. Not like nachos or some snack, I mean a burger or two, the fries, and a damm milkshake if you can. If your really messed up, just get some time outside, fresh air, take a little walk, then eat like this. Usually I would pass out after, and wake up next day no hangover or regrets. Important factor, the food has to be filling, a big meal will help a lot. Drink on an empty stomache? Hell, you'll know it after just a beer 😂

    You know with cold water bit, I've always thought you either needed a hot bucket AND a cold bucket or you need to be constantly dunking your head in the ice water not just dunk and sit there.

    This was definitely one of their least scientific tests because of the amount of people used in the experiment and how they were getting drunk, but it was one of their funniest.

    They should have let Kari slap Adam, that would have been more entertaining.
