Iowa Man Fired for Drinking Ethanol Fuel - Nubblies.net Forums

DES MOINES, Iowa — A man who claimed discrimination after being fired from an ethanol plant for drinking "automobile fuel" has been denied unemployment benefits.

Cory Neddermeyer, 42, was dismissed by Amaizing Energy in April. The Denison-based company produces ethanol fuel for vehicles in a formula that includes a high concentration of alcohol.

According to Neddermeyer, he showed up for work on April 21 and saw that there had been a spill of fuel alcohol. Hundreds of gallons of 190-proof alcohol were held in a 6-inch-deep holding pond that was about 30 feet by 24 feet.

The liquid had not been blended with gasoline.

"I am a recovering alcoholic, and I thought about the availability of this alcohol throughout the day," he wrote in a statement later provided to state officials. "Curious about the taste and its effects, I dipped into this lake of liquor and drank what I considered to be 2 to 3 ounces. The next thing I remember is waking up in Crawford County Memorial Hospital."

Neddermeyer was found by co-workers in an incoherent state. He was taken to the hospital, where his blood-alcohol level, according to state records, was reported at 0.72. That's almost twice the level considered potentially fatal for many adults.

Neddermeyer was briefly hospitalized for acute alcohol intoxication. His employer searched his work area and allegedly found three empty bottles that contained trace amounts of the fuel.

He didn't say that's all he had, he just said that's the last thing he remembers.

Mr. Blonde · 07-12-2006, 08:07 AM

I don't think so F3lix. I think he's trying to convey that he only had a little bit as an experiment and just that little bit affected him that much, so he doesn't get in more trouble. Although, as Gaz said, bullshit.

Ironic Mustache · 07-12-2006, 12:10 PM

Most regular alcohols are 80 proof so and if this stuff is 190 proof, which is 2.375 as strong. Three ounces would equate to 7.125 shots in one gulp. A recovering alcoholic would likely have lost his tolerance already, which would compound the affects severely. Even two ounces would be just under five shots. I drink all the time and a quintuplet shot would definitely have me drunk. Passed out I doubt, but definitely drunk. Over 7 might do the trick though.

damn witch doctors and your math.

DJ FC · 07-12-2006, 02:41 PM

3 oz 190 proof = 7.125 oz 80 proof = 5.9375 shots 80 proof

	The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
