>>According to his son, Paul had four or five beers in the course of a four-hour span, not enough to become disoriented.
If they were maybe 12 or 16 ounce or even 20, one per hour might not make him too intoxicated...though if it’s as many as 5, who knows.
The son said that’s what dad said to him. My humble guess is that it was double that or more. You just don’t disappear like this, without alcohol being the problem.
Years ago here in Germany...from the base, we had a bus of folks that went to a wine fest. The bus deal was to help everyone out in the end because they were going to be too intoxicated to drive. So they wrap up six hours, and get back to the bus. Here’s this stranger gal (an American) just weeping and crying....in a drunken state of mind...in the middle of the parking lot. She’d been so drunk, that she missed her bus. She didn’t have any more cash, and was in a mess. They took her along with them....back to the base, and someone later drove her back to the right Army post.
That would lay me out! Then of course, I’m a 125 lb. female who never drinks.
American beer, like Coors Light? I can’t imagine ingesting enough to be drunk in any real way.
