What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

According to online blood alcohol level statistics, someone at her weight – 180 pounds, according to her ticket – would have to consume more than 12 drinks in several hours to register that high. There is a possibility of coma and death due to respiratory arrest.

After drinking that much, I'm surprised she could even find the car!

You're right, abacass. I have a hard time with the car seat stone-cold sober! Can't imagine trying to fasten it drunk.

I bet the 5-year old probably strapped herself in the car seat (assuming she was strapped in)

I was thinking the same thing. I definitely wouldn't want to drink against her in a drinking contest.

In her defense, she drinks that much because it helps her balance problem.

Holy shots, Batman! I bet she had one heck of a hangover when she woke up in jail.

holy crap!! That was one of the more fun jobs in the lab, running the alcohol levels, have personally seen levels greater with conscious patients. They build up a tolerance. Incredible.
