	While it may be an accepted, alternate US spelling, it's most certainly not the normally used spelling (even in the US). I've never seen it spelled 'saber' before. And www.usfencing.org doesn't spell it that way.

	Agree with TessSGS: After an evening of drinking, the word "sober" was the furthest thing from my mind.

	it's after an evening of drinking [rung 5]... which is water... after an evening of drinking water, you will be sober

	You could also be sober after an evening of drinking no water at all.

	Ever heard of a NHL team called the Buffalo Sabres?

	My dictionary. set for American English, says saber. My British friends would spell it sabre. Saber fits the ladder.

	I was gonna criticize you for keeping the CVCVC format all the way through, and then Rung 15 happened. Nice.

	From Dictionary.com: sa·ber [sey-ber] –noun 1. a heavy, one-edged sword, usually slightly curved, used especially by cavalry. 2. a soldier armed with such a sword. 3. Fencing . a. a sword having two cutting edges and a blunt point. b. the art or sport of fencing with the saber, with the target being limited to the head, trunk, and arms, and hits being made with the front edge and the upper part of the back edge of the sword and by thrusts.

	Erg is a unit of work not power. Work is a force applied over a distance. Power is the rate of work - or work divided by time. You should keep Watts in the clue but remove erg to be correct.

	sproutcm:	May 8th, 2011 at 21:25 GMT		9 points
	@vankessel Yes, an erg is a unit of work or energy. But the question says erg/s which is work or energy over time, which is most definitely a unit of power.

	A night of drinking water doesn't leave me sober...it leaves me running to the bathroom every 20 minutes.

	I spell it Sabre. But I recognise saber.

	Technically, you CAN get "drunk" (well, intoxicated) by drinking too much water.

	volkstraum:	May 9th, 2011 at 23:21 GMT		-3 points
	Drinking water doesn't make you sober up, nor does it keep you sober. Actually, water can be intoxicating if enough is consumed.

	The first clue is a little ambiguous. I was trying to think of 5letter words meaning "continent" or "hydrated" or "bloated" as we're expecting the the answer to reflect a change in our condition after drinking the water. A lack of change is harder to guess. And besides, if I was insanely drunk before I started drinking the water, I might still be drunk at the end of the evening. I have been that drunk. :)

	@stolkmen: rung 5 is water. So you get drunk on water?

	OnABoat999:	Sep 29th, 2011 at 19:12 GMT		5 points
	What it stated was that you would be sober after an evening of drinking WATER(rung 5 was WATER).

	Mmm, some dubious clues going on here. And a few dodgy answers too.

	Yeesh. The whining in these comments is painful. I liked the quiz.

	Quiz was ridiculously easy, but not because of some of the shaky/ambiguous clues taht we're all whining about

	refwen:	Oct 28th, 2012 at 03:50 GMT		1 point
	im drunk after an evening of drinking...maybe the clue should read: what you are before an evening of drinking
