Operating heavy machinary and driving are the two things they say to not do while impaired. What else? I’m sure they wouldn’t say medium and light machinary is ok to operate?
And what else is on the top 2o things to not do?

Flying a plane, caring for children, control tower for an airport…actually I don’t want to deal with anyone drink at work, not any type of work. I also don’t want my husband to be drunk more than a handful times a year. He’s never very drunk ever really.

Then again, you could also miss the toilet and plummet into the shower head first like I once did, so maybe avoid using the toilet too. lol
@Coloma Things I have done impaired: Skiing, surfing, roller skating, horsesback riding, swimming, WW rafting, bowling, football, shaving, riding a bike, going to the toilet, taking a shower. I am sure there are others but I don’t recall…....Wait! answering on Fluther! That’s another!
@rojo Well sure, me too, but if we’re talkin’ playing it totally safe. Hell I took a metal lake canoe down the rapids on LSD once after midnight, on a moonless night. Whatta trip! lol
Brain surgery comes to mind…
My banjo teacher told me never play the banjo after drinking. I ignore that advice all the time.

Probably shouldn’t enter a food eating competition either, like pancakes or hot dogs. Might choke to death. haha
Remember, recently the two people that choked to death eating pancakes and giant doughnuts.
Job interview. Not a good idea.
Showing up in front a judge in court for DWI ! !
Yup, or one of my friends had a couple of drinks after work and it was 10:30 at night when he was pulled over. They brought him to the police station, he could not pass DWI test. So they called his wife, she was home, to come an pick him up. They were going to give him a verbal rather than write a ticket. His wife showed up about 45 minutes later (she had 3 Martinis on board). SO. . . . the cops made them BOTH sleep it off in the “tank”
Asking questions or providing responses on Fluther.
@flo the reason they give the warning is because driving and operating machinery when you’re impaired endangers other people. All of our answers are good, but they don’t hurt anyone but themselves.
Thankls everyone. So, looks like just about anything, since good judgement is needed at all times.
