    I'd guess .25 is in the neighborhood of 15 beers in his system if he weighed around 175. While most people can drive pretty safely at .10 and a few hardcores can probably drive pretty safely around .20, I don't know if anyone can drive safely at .25?

    Of course, driving at a high rate of speed on a motorcycle after drinking indicates he wasn't even trying to be 'safe'.

    I've read things about Chico that talked about his Jekkyl and Hyde ways. He was apparently a very angry drunk who would switch up after a drink or two.

    that's lots of beers
    I can't drink that much
    if I do, by the 8th beer I have to eat something like fries, pizza, eggrolls, whatever. It's a habit already. Feel too drunk, eat.


    Edit: I read in a BAC table, .25 ammounts to 10 drinks. How could he even turn on his motorcycle?

    I don't think he was kidding. People who drink and drive (especially as pattern behavior) shouldn't be protected. Chico did a stupid thing and thank god he didn't kill a law abiding citizen who had the sense not to drink and drive.

    This is what irks me about the memorials and tributes.. The guy was a fucking loser who happened to be an entertaining boxer.

    I love how everyone minimizes things with terms like 'high risk lifestyle' and 'living on the edge'. Bull shit, the guy was an irresponsible piece of shit that left behind 4 kids with no means of support..

    where did you find only 10 drinks? What weight?

    When I checked, it looks like it's around 12.5 drinks in your system at around 175 lbs.

    I'd guess it wasn't beer. Easier to get that drunk on hard stuff.

    I'd guess his wife has plenty of assets she can sell. Diego made a lot of money in his career and short of getting robbed, there's still going to be money left after the irs gets theirs.

    I'm only guessing, but it's hard to completely erase that kind of money.

    Well I am not completely sure of Chico's financial situation, but I find it hard to believe that he left his wife/kids with much since every tribute I've seen ends with them asking for donations..

    Regardless of the financial situation, he also left his kids without a father. He was still an irresponsible POS in my opinion.

    while your criticism of the people who are praising corrales too much might be warranted, you might be going overboard in the other direction.

    Corrales seemed like a very cool guy in all of the interviews. I can see why people liked him. Then you hear about hitting his pregnant wife..and the apparent circumstances behind his death...I can see why people don't like him.

    Ignoring knowledge and indulging in echolocation.
    :lol: That was a good little argument you and him had there Lib four Lib, short but sweet. The world isn't stacked against pregnant Mexican women, glad you two got it out of your system.

    Sorry, but for me, being cool in interviews and being an entertaining boxer doesn't offset being an irresponsible, drunken driving, wife beater..

    Call me crazy..
