Austin Watson arrested for domestic assault

[triggrman]

Swatting at her which is probably just a swing and miss of some kind and, mainly, her having a bloody leg along with bruises on her chest. I don't know how much she instigated anything, but as someone said when this first came out, if it was a factor, he probably would've used that "excuse" with the cop, which he didn't. If someone proves she was basically attacking him in some way and he was restraining her..... maybe..... but basically I was waiting on more details, got them, and they were worse than I hoped for.

To me, the bloody shin and intoxication says it's less likely his doing.

Growing in a house as the youngest of 6 boys, I've had my share of altercations and none ever resulted in a bloddy shin.

I've also ran into my share of objects (coffee tables, planters, etc) while intoxicated.

I could see the bloody shin happening inside the car, too, or on attempt to exit.

Or a drunken fall

As long as we're making stuff up, he could have pushed her down.

You know guys, it IS ok to say I don't know.

I think Watson needs to go and I don't care what anyone thinks. I was raised and will always believe you should never lay your hand on a female. No matter what she does. I mean unless she comes at you with a knife and there are no possible exit to get away from her you have to defend yourself. Women can be crazy true but as a man I think you have to be a bigger man. Your wife the mother of your child and you shove her so hard it leaves bruises. People that's pretty hard and we have no room for players like him. I don't car how drunk she is or what she does. As a man if you're that mad at your girl you wanna do physical harm you should walk away. I have 3 little girls and I wish some guy would lay there hand on them when they get older. It will be the last female they hurt. Hockey is a game. It's an entertainment. I love it like the next man but abusing a women is just plain wrong

We had room for Ribs on this team, and we had room for Tootoo on this team. People aren't perfect and if the team can help him and he gets himself straight then all for the better. If he doesn't and continues then you send him out the back door with the garbage. I tend to lean that sending him packing does nothing for the team, him, or his girlfriend.

For the Dr's...How exactly does alcohol and breast feeding work. A female said he should've had her arrested for child endangerment. she thought it might be a factor

Not really an issue. The alcohol content in breast milk is the same as in the blood, ie miniscule when compared to actual alcoholic beverages.


No one would ever get the slightest buzz drinking the blood of an alcoholic.

I've actually wondered about this well before the incident. Thanks.

Sure an adult would never get drunk off that but what about a small child? (Not picking a side here ... It's a genuine question)

Same. Just genuinely want to know because newborns just weigh around 10lbs.

Effects of alcohol exposure during lactation

The effects on neonates exposed to alcohol via breast milk are very different from the effects of in utero exposure [9]. Next to an altered milk taste and smell, consumption of low to moderate amounts of alcohol can result in a reduced amount of milk produced without altering its quality [18,19]. The presence of even small amounts of alcohol in the breast milk (e.g. the mother drank 1 glass and breastfed her baby one hour later) can disrupt sleep-wake behavioural patterning of the infant [20]. Regular, at least daily alcohol use during lactation can result in a Pejorative Sluration of motor development, not mental development [21]. On a longer term, research revealed that it can even affect the hedonic response to the smell of alcohol of children aged 3 to 6: the emotional context in which parents experience alcohol and how often parents drink, influenced children's liking the odour of alcohol. Children of a parent or parents who drank alcohol to escape problems were more likely to judge the odour of beer as unpleasant than were similarly aged children whose parents did not drink to escape [22

The word starred out, read backwards, is "drater" I looked it up because I thought maybe it was fluctuation and there had been a typo.

Interesting research.

It was relevant to the discussion.

True, very true. Summer sucks, drop the puck.

Again, no. A BAL of .10(intoxicated) means 1/10 of 1% of your blood volume is alcohol. Beer is about 4% alcohol, so the blood/breast milk of someone toasted is the same as if you drank a mixture that was 39 cc water and 1 cc of beer.

Edit.. I read the study above. I cant access the source articles to see how much consumption was required to produce the negative results. Daily, significant alcohol consumption can likely cause some negative effects on a breastfed baby as opposed to every once in a while.

However, we dont even know if Watsons girlfriend is still breastfeeding, if she ever did. The kid was born in March, and many women dont make it more than a couple of months before stopping and switching to formula.

Ok... I’ll open this when there’s actual news to discuss. This has gone too far off. If I miss an update, please message me and I’ll open the thread. Thanks!
