yeah yeah yeah....

Why do people drink? It tastes bad, sure. But later if you drink smartly you have a buzz. Which is fun. I'm not saying i need alcohol to have fun, i'm just saying if i have alcohol i have as much fun as normal for less effort.

What about when you have to go to the ER because your liver failed on you? Ooh! And what about when you get drunk and get beaten up by some biker? And when you become an alcoholic, lose your job and end up on the street? Or maybe when you get arrested because you're only 16? :P

Sure, I'll have a sip of my dad's beer when he has one with dinner (when we do takeout, usually once a week or so). When I'm 21, will I have a beer if I'm eating out with friends or family? Sure. But I'd never do it to get drunk... That's just a bad idea in general... And I like the taste of (good) beer... :P

*Paedric asks the question...*

Is it possible for a post in the Off Topic forum to go off topic?

Well, the Choke that I upended on the year old oil spills in my driveway didn't do a thing so I think we might be able to add remover of oil stains into the realm of urban myths. Either that or I need newer oil spills.

you'd just need a coke that matches the oil stain's vintage. car oil companies develop their products in close cooperation with the coca cola company for maximum greasekill.

Nothing like an urban legend to galvanize any society. Be sure to watch the show "MythBusters" for a dose of the scientific method.

Look at the pH values:
Vinegar 3.0
Coke Classic 2.63
Pepsi 2.49
Lemon juice 2.5


Both Pepsi and lemon juice are more acidic. Stomach acid is about 2.0, so my advice would be to vomit on your grease stains.
That would be about as likely as anything to remove them. Commercial driveway cleaners are generally degreasers - not acids.

Okay, I was just watching the MythBusters on the Discovory channel. They pretty much consigned most of the uses for Choke firmly in the the relm of urban myth. It is very good at removing rust from bumbers, and did clean blood from the tarmac a bit better than water alone but that's about it. So there you have it. Choke is good for nothing. 0.o
