I have a very good friend used to bring rum balls in to work at Christmas. "Look out" she would warn us, "Just one will put you on your ear."The average rum ball is 10-15% rum. (Except for Aunty Vera's which were 0.001%)
The average shot of rum is 30ml, one standard drink.
It takes 5 standard drinks to get you to the legal maximum blood alcohol level, 0.05%.
That means you need to eat two kilograms, or nearly four and a half pounds, of rum balls to reach the the point where you are considered unsafe to drive.
Maybe not.
...
Of course you are not fit to drive. You are on your hands and knees, throwing up in the gutter.
ReplyDeleteI've never had one...sure would like to try one.
ReplyDeleteI 'accidentally' ate those somewhere in Europe 7 years ago..I had no idea rum is alcohol (and Muslims are not supposed to eat them)..how naive! It made me a little dizzy and I threw up the moment I reached the hotel room.
ReplyDeleteAfter that amount you wouldn't be able to fit behind the wheel!
ReplyDeletehaha....maybe not.....4 1/2 pounds of rum balls sounds like good n' plenty.....a hard way to get your ration of liquor.....even if you love rum balls. They look like donut holes..... :)
