Karting Under the Influence

Finally, a scientific look at the effects of drinking on driving (a Mario Kart, that is). (via Matt)

My verdict? I think the hypothesis needs more testing: "Coconut Mall", where I gather the tests were run, is a course where reckless driving might actually benefit the karter; but my guess is that such recklessness would actually be detrimental on e.g. "Wario's Gold Mine", or "Rainbow Road."

At the very least, it's probably worth another round of rigorous drinking testing.
