Had to google that one. So do you feel constantly intoxicated?
No, but other people kept saying they could smell it on my breath. I blew a .12 after 48 hours of supervision.
Got a home breathalyzer, and after eating a brownie and drinking some milk, waiting a couple of hours, I tried it and got an error message that it was too high. The breathalizer caps out at .40. My wife tried it as a control and got .01.
So, Iām going full keto. My diet will be meat, fermented veggies, water and black coffee.
I donāt care if I lose strength, I can get it back, but this is ridiculous. And I am pissed off.

I once blew a .3 something after drinking all night then realizing I had school (11th grade) in a few hours, so I took a couple hits of acid to stay awake.
Several teachers turned me in, saying my behavior was strange and I smelled of alcohol.

For how long? Has anyone said?
Oh wow! That sounds horrible!!!
Taking an antifungal and waiting to blow .01 or lower for ten days in a row, to rebuild a healthy gut biome.
So I have no idea.
My wife has commented multiple times that I have developed the highest pain tolerence of any one she knows. Like, accidentally misstepping and breaking a door frame and not feel hurt. I apologize and fix it, of course. But . . . It kind of tracks.

Donāt they know the druids were tree huggers too?
Do you think the pain tolerance has anything to to with you being a chef?
You guys seem to get burned a lot or have to handle unreasonably hot items (e.g., testing temps, making tuiles). Maybe at some point the body just gives up?
Possibly. Itās a very strange tribe at high levels. The body shapes are interesting to analyze.
I find it to be kind of a Janus situation. For instance, I can kind of taste by touch, if that makes sense? And also if I cut my finger Iāll feel it faster through my knife than through the cut. But the ābig hitsā donāt register, like using your knife callus to grab a sheet ray and calculating how much time you have to make it to the dish pit before your skin actually starts to smoke.
Honestly, muscle is like armor in the kitchen.

I have about the same tactile adaptations from working with hot things.
Thereās also the speed and dexterity factor. Youāre likely moving way faster than you realize until you see someone less experienced that moves like a lava lamp.

This is one of the ways I judge a new hire. Have a mental map and order of operations.

I donāt have one of these but the tip of my left index finger is pretty dead after using it to test if the pan/pot/wok is hot enough
Talk to soldiers and chefs. They will be the best project managers you have ever seen.

So does this have the same effect on you as consuming alcohol? As in, does it make you drunk? Or does it just affect your digestion and breath?

I donāt feel drunk, but that could be because it didnāt hit at once one day, so I assume the gradual ramp-up let me adjust.
What a fascinating medical āconditionā? After reading your post @Brant_Drake I remember reading about this guy a few months back. And after doing a bit of searching, I also read that fewer than 100 cases had been confirmed since 1952ā¦can that really be right? Is it that rare?
I find it fascinating but hope you get better all the same.

Iād never heard of it, but when I switched from an MD to a DO they figured it out.
Iām also pissed because if this happened in college, I would have saved so much money.
