Affect of Alcohol (Beer) on Soaring and Soaring Racing
Soartech wrote on 3/5/2019 3:47 PM:
There are scientific studies showing more than two diet drinks a day are linked to some health issues, including strokes. Very interesting, because I had a friend who sucked down about 6 diet Cokes a day. It made me very nervous to know he was doing that. Then he had a stroke at age 50! (Later died of cancer.) Coincidence?

Yes we need a randomized double blind study to see if we really are more likely to find lift under big puffy clouds. Flying around with all these ideas of where lift is based on 'bro science' is barbaric and dimwitted |

Flying around with all these ideas of where lift is based on 'bro science' is barbaric and dimwitted Interesting argument, considering that many of the first thermal soaring folks thought that the clouds sucked them up, rather than their being lifted by rising air emanating from the ground. Thoughtful observation and disciplined research seem to make the greatest advances. But then again, I've always found that post-flight beer and BS yield great soaring insights. |
