I generally think you shouldn't use a lathe if you've had ANYTHING to drink, and you really shouldn't operate anything else if you're actually drunk, even a rotary tool. But maybe you could have a shot and use a rotary tool. I don't know. Wear safety glasses. You have ten fingers and they're all okay, but your eyes are more than the sum of their parts and you shouldn't consider one of them superfluous.

Everclear also can be used as a lacquer thinner. Good thinking.

I came across mention of a Gnostic codex called The Unreal God and the Aspects of His Nonexistent Universe, an idea which reduced me to helpless laughter. What kind of person would write about something that he knows doesn't exist, and how can something that doesn't exist have aspects?

You're probably just a pussy, OP. I operate extremely dangerous multi-million dollar equipment while blackout drunk every day for a long time. I still have all my fingers and I've never been in serious accident. You're really underestimating the capabilities of drunks. Some people can handle alcohol better.

As long as I can still open my drinks with the power tools, I'm not too drunk yet.

I would consider a lathe more of a machine than a tool. If you can't carry it by hand, it aint a tool.

there have been some storms at sea where I was dead sober and pissing myself, but on a good day it owns to be the captain with a buzz. One of my favorite moments was a friend putting a pipe in my mouth as I was doing an approach to key west harbor. High as gently caress while dodging reefs and cruise ships. Nothing could ever go wrong here
