GRABBERS Alien Aquatic Lifeform And Ethanol Weakness Explored | Why It Pays To Drink Ethanol

I love how the original inspiration for this movie was that the director was drinking at a bar, in Australia I believe, and had gotten bitten by a mosquito and he said that he hoped it got wasted and crashed into the wall. That somehow turned into a thought for a vampire movie where the only defense was to get drunk so the vampires would get poisoned and then that somehow turned into space mollusks. Also, I believe the 5 protrusions around it's mouth are it's eyes. Kind of like how clams have light sensing spots around it's shell opening. Personally, I felt this movie captured the feel of the first Tremors movie. Both movies feel like they could be in the same franchise. Love them both.

[@AnomalyINC]

Love this movie. Jolly good fun. I reckon the reason the characters being so clueless when it comes to the alien shenanigans is due to a combination of factors. 1: Aliens do not usually go to Ireland, for obvious reasons. 2: Irishmen are severely desensitised not only to alcohol, but mortal danger in general. 3: Between the Faeries, the Rot, the Aliens and the English, Ireland has its hands full at any given moment. You can only care about so much at a time.

At 10 minutes, you said a blood alcohol level of .2 would mean her blood was 20% alcohol. Just a heads up, it'd actually only be 0.2% alcohol by volume. 20% would basically mean your blood itself was liquor.

[@nicohoffmann6218]

And this should be wrong. Alcohol content of blood usually is not measured in percent it's measured in thousandth, therefore 0.2 means 0.02% of the blood is alcohol. Which is usually reached after one beer. Therefore a bit unrealistic depiction in this movie. 0.2% alcohol in blood means totally hammered, with blackouts, 0.4% alcohol in blood usually means death.

Not to be confused with a "creole" language which is a naturalized language that forms over time as a mix of multiple languages, and becomes a dominant language of its own in a region, such as Jamaican Patois.

I remember reading about that story as well, apparently the octopus was able to memorize the guards Patrol routines and waited for an opening to crawl out of the tank and go to the one across from it and snag some tasty fish. Then it just went and crawled back into its own tank. But the fact that it was smart enough to memorize the guards patrols hints at an alarmingly intelligent being. Also, there was another story about an octopus that was getting annoyed at this bright spotlight that was shining into its tank enclosure, so somehow it was able to open its lid and squirt water out of the tank at the light to blow it out. Maintenance kept replacing the bulb wondering what was going on, until they put up a security camera and rewatched the footage, and realized it was the freaking octopus burning out the light with water!

You have been on a roll my friend! Just pulling out all the horror goodies! So I need to recommend The Hallow and Let Us Prey. Both amazing Irish horror movies, and The Hallow would be perfect for this channel!

[@SCZDN]

Love the mix of nostalgia, the occasional b movie thrill and recommendations of either new stuff or hidden gems I've missed this channel has. Grabbers was a great time.

[@Farhadk1989]

I think, Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is measured in %, so a BAC of 0.2 means 0.2% of your blood is alcohol, not 20%.

[@stavkous4963]

I see

[@Farhadk1989]

For 20% of your blood to be alcohol, you'd need to drink 1 liter of pure alcohol, or like 2.5 liters of vodka very quickly. Assuming 5 liters blood in human body and 40% abv for vodka.

[@noehonegger4624]

thank you i thought i misheard and needed to check the comments cause if you get to a 3 in bac will probably body a bunch of people and well thats 3%

[@Sinphanius]

The Grabbers; "I can't believe I landed near Ireland when I'm Allergic to Alcohol. My Luck Sucks." The Aliens from Signs; "First Time?" Also "The Documentary" you mentioned with Drunk Animals may have been "Animals are Beautiful People". I know that had a section like that and yeah watching the animals drunkenly stumble around was hilarious.

Can confirm I live in one of them and the amount of alcohol people drink is insane!

[@trolly4233]

Id say this thing came from a large mass of ice partially filled with water and a chamber of air. this would be a small segment of crust from the ice barrier on Enceladus. The creature goes to the trapped air and dry-ish land in the cave to lay the eggs, and as Enceladus moves around Saturn the tide in these cave would rise and fall, wetting the eggs. As for how they got there, there are MASSIVE ejections of ice and steam and water that rupture out of enceladus constantly, so... yea. any water left at the bottom of the cave (think of this as a moonpool) would freeze solid, preserving anything inside it. And for the lack of eyes, Enceladus is an ice shell moon of saturn. no light ever reaches the interior ocean.

The fish tank where that happened at was in OR. I'm originally from Oregon, and learned about it in marine biologist class. I'm fairly certain it was the Newport aquarium. It was a particular female Pacific Octopus, and after she passed I heard that there was another octopus doing the same.

[@BrandonTurman95]

The documentary you're talking about with the animals getting drunk on fruit is called "Animals Are Beautiful People" from 1974. I watched it as a kid as well and I absolutely loved it

[@jasonscarborough94]

Is that the doc that Overdrawn at the Memory Bank go its drunken animal footage from?

[@BrandonTurman95]

@@jasonscarborough94 that idk because I've not seen that doc lol

[@jasonscarborough94]

@@BrandonTurman95 Its a very weak adaptation of a Phillip K Dick novel starring Raul Julia, about a near future society developing tech that lets them transfer peoples' consciousnesses into other living things or temporarily store them on giant 1980's computers, and when Raul gets briefly body swapped with a baboon it switches to documentary footage of monkeys and elephants eating fermented fruit, and the scene looks very similar to what Roanoke described.

[@Rurik_Luci]

10:20 for those who don't know it's between 0.25 and 0.3 that you can start experiencing things such as your heart just randomly shutting down.

[@stavkous4963]

What

[@Rurik_Luci]

@@stavkous4963 yep. That is why if you are ever found by police and they give you a breathalyzer test senses .25 or higher they are going to take you to the drunk tank they're going to take you to the hospital. Like they are legally required to take you to the hospital because if not they can be held liable for when you die from poisoning yourself. For some reason it's also not uncommon that people who go out when it's snowing drunk and just hug a tree trying to stay warm also have a very high blood alcohol level. So yeah try to keep it below .15 because after that your chances of either crapping your pants, peeing your pants, or just puking everywhere or any combination of those three go up exponentially.

Humanity's absolute frenzy for fermentation is, to me, one of our species hallmarks. If something can be pickled, distilled or boozed, we will do it! While not the only species to enjoy getting tipsy, we are the ones who take the steps to expediate the process so its literally on tap. For better or worse, this is one of our legacies and its not quite as terrible as a bunch of our other fawk ups so, uhm, cheers? Edit: If the thing just live son blood and water, why leave the ocean for dry land unless I missed something about completely devastated local ocean life. Yes, the whale got schloorped but there's more than that down their and humans taste bad enough when not looped.
