The Beer Batter Defense

76-year-old John Przybyla was pulled over back in 2014 when a sheriff’s deputy observed him crossing the center line.

Mr. Przybyla told the officer that his beer breath was caused from theย fish fry he had just eaten.

It was his 10th DUI.

Let’s just say he won’t be attending any fish fries for a while.

  1. Like the guy who left the NY Thruway rest area and headed North, back to Canada.
    About twenty miles up the road a Trooper stopped him;

    Man; What’s the problem officer?

    Trooper: Do you realize you left your wife back at the Ramapo rest area sir?

    Man. Well I’ll be damned! So that’s it!. I thought I was going deaf.

  2. What a dummy. When you cook with wine or spirits the alcohol evaporates in the cooking process. All that remains is the flavor.

    A favorite restaurant of my youth, the now-defunct Don’s Drive-In in Livingston, New Jersey, made the world’s best French-fried onion rings. They were so popular that Don had to have two guys on every shift doing nothing but cooking onion rings. He once told my father that beer was the secret ingredient in the batter.

  3. @gfyonkeres – I respectfully call your attention to this article on cooking with alcohol. If you are simmering something for more than a couple of hours, then the alcohol remaining will be 5% or less compared to the initial strength. But there are lots of recipes that retain a quite high proportion of the alcoholic beverage used in the cooking.

    We don’t worry about this at our house except when we have certain guests over for a meal. If you are serving recovering alcoholics, please be careful. Of course in the extreeeeeemely unlikely event you are serving a dish to a mohammadman, the sky’s the limit, and don’t forget the bacon.

  4. Ohhh. Battered fish! I had a flashback to the kegger softball games we played back when. You know, a ball game that may have a beer waiting for you at second base to entice you not to go for third.

    A lot of beer batters in those games. I thought: Hell yeah you’re drunk after one of those. What kind of defense is that?
