White Wine With Fish- Right?

[Judge]

In this case it was bourbon. And a bit too much at that.

Hundreds of fish killed in leak from bourbon warehouse collapse

Oh, that's terrible! I really hate reading about innocent wildlife being killed from man made mistakes.

 

[kay]

Poor fish.

I just haven't come across pollution exposures like this involving consumable alcohol. Might not be toxic to all humans, but when it comes to wildlife...it can be quite costly.

Long term impacts of that event will be devastating. The wildlife in the area will probably take years to recover. I really hate all of the pollution that is damaging our lakes and oceans.

I do know that fish can be incredibly sensitive to any number of environmental changes. We have a man-made lack/marina in the metropolitan area well stocked with fish when in one winter nearly all of them died. The consensus was that it had to do with unusually low temperatures and oxygen levels, but others disagreed.

Yeah and especially marine mammals sensitive to many environmental changes such as the BP oil spill that happened in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. Years later after the oil spill happened for example it had decreased a dolphins birth rate where some dolphins won’t give birth and some have a miscarriage.

The other week on Wrong Planet someone asked "If Jesus turned water into wine, why do we still have water?" and I jokingly answered "So the fish don't get alcohol poisoning and die". Now I feel bad because a lot of fish really die from alcohol, even if it was an accident. Since fish breath liquids through their gills, alcohol must be the equivalent of a horrible, toxic gas to humans.

I was trying to figure out why the fish didn’t just get drunk, but your explanation makes sense. They breath via the water. Trying to breath is any other liquid would he like us being in a chamber without oxygen. Whether or not its poisonous we (like the fish) would quickly suffocate.

Ok. I'll give it a go.

How do you turn me into a fish?

My wand is broken Mr F,
Can’t you just set up an I.V to keep you going ?

One of those peaked caps with a beer holder either side and long straw?

A ‘camel back’ filled with alcohol of your choice?

 

[Thinx]

So, 'Drink like a fish' is inaccurate then?

 

[GrownupGirl]

^ That saying reminds me of Gollum's riddle in The Hobbit: Never thirsty, ever drinking, all in mail never clinking.

 

[tducey]

To bad to hear this, those poor fish.
