If you shouldn't double while drunk, clearly you shouldn't double when
at the bar. So does everyone agree that this is ND/T?

With X having only a four-prime and O poised to leap out with a 6
if X doesn't cover the 8pt, and with O having a huge pip count lead,
I don't think this can be a pass. The double is less clear to me.
Simply hitting doesn't necessarily lose X's market. I would not
double OTB.
