Some questions about drinking alcohol

Ok, this is something that I was kind of wondering the other night... Please answer the questions as accurately as possible.

1. Are you male or female?
2. How old are you?
3. How much do you weigh?
4. Would you consider yourself in good shape (aka more muscle than fat)?
5. How many drinks can you have and still feel comfortable driving? Please give a time frame in which the alcohol would be consumed.

I was at a party on Saturday night, and a guy who is about 180 lbs. VERY fit had about 3 beers and 3 shots of whiskey during a 3-4 hour duration, and then proceeded to drive afterward. It bothered me, and I said something, but I was given a lecture about how "it's cool", because they "know their limits" and that they "were fine to drive". I will admit, he seemed ok to drive, but I wasn't happy about it.

It would be interesting to find out how much alcohol people think they are ok to have and actually drive after.

Be Cool!

1. Are you male or female? male
2. How old are you? 19
3. How much do you weigh? 40inch TV?
4. Would you consider yourself in good shape (aka more muscle than fat)? no way, i expect to die in the next 2 years.
5. How many drinks can you have and still feel comfortable driving? Please give a time frame in which the alcohol would be consumed. drink driving isnt good, but say like a pint or maybe 2 over a course of 3+ hours should be alright i guess, depends if u've been on a drug binge the same day

Re: Some questions about drinking alcohol

1. Are you male or female? Male.
2. How old are you? 20
3. How much do you weigh? 150 - 160? I honestly dont know.
4. Would you consider yourself in good shape? I'd say im in good shape.
5. How many drinks can you have and still feel comfortable driving? I can drink about a 12 pack and still be able to drive fine. I mean i can pull it off even when im under the influence of drugs. Done it many times in the passed with out a problem. I just set my mind straight, me knowing im drunk gives me more of a reason to be extra precautions.

male
2. How old are you?
31
3. How much do you weigh?
185 pounds

I am fit
5. How many drinks can you have and still feel comfortable driving?
Please give a time frame in which the alcohol would be consumed.

I don't drink and drive. Or minimum 2 hours after a pint of beer. Anymore than a pint and I will not drive. I like extreme sports, but I don't take unnecessary risks. People who drink and drive should be sterilized. People who " handle " it and drive anyway, should be shot.

2 drinks in the first hour, one drink every hour thereafter is what an average man should drink if he wants to stay under .05 not sure what the standard is for .08

easily capable of being pretty hammered and driving safely and responsibly, not that i ever do.

1) male
2) 23
3) 68kg
4) no, it surprises me that I'm still alive
5) I don't drive yet, but I can drink up to 12 beers/evening (yeah I'll be drunk then)

1. Are you male or female? male
2. How old are you? 19
3. How much do you weigh? 95kg
4. Would you consider yourself in good shape (aka more muscle than fat)? good shape (though I need to lose 5kgs, damn off-season from basketball )
5. How many drinks can you have and still feel comfortable driving? Please give a time frame in which the alcohol would be consumed. A pretty decent amount as I'm big and can handle it but generally I try not to drink at all if I'm driving. I hate people that drink and drive. My experience as a bar tender also tells me that a beer every hour will keep an average person under the limit, but a standard drink and a standard person don't exist. It's impossible to judge and is best not left to chance. Don't drink and you'll be fine. If you do drink, catch a taxi or bus

I have been totally wasted once and still managed to pull through driving home even though its almost 6 am and there are no cars around.

The trick is to eat as much as u can after ur drunk or after u've vomitted and lots of limejuice.

male
24
220 lbs
im in ok shape
i know for a fact i blow about a .05 after a six pack over 4-5 hours. usually if im going to be drinking i just plan on staying somewhere. its not so much the volume of booze you drink as it is the time in which you drink it and how fast your body metabolizes the alcohol. for teh average healthy man its about one drink an hour. so if you pound back 3 pints in 20 mins. your liver takes about 3 hours to metabolize it. some people its a bit longer, some a bit less.

but in general i find most people should know their limits.i have had a few friends get nabbed for DUI so im paranoid about it and i wont get behind the wheel unless im sure i blow well under the legal limit. (i even have one of those sharper image portable breathalizers)

5. How many drinks can you have and still feel comfortable driving? Please give a time frame in which the alcohol would be consumed.

i've drived with lots and lots of vodka over a 3 hours period, but I knew I was drunk i just was the soberest. But I think 5 or 6 beers over 2 hours is fine, over that is drunk


Posted by THE_Chris on Oct-30-2006 13:25:

If you drink alcohol at all, you dont drive.

Simple as that.

To hell with this "Ive only had xxxxxxx I can still drive ok". I have no patience with people who drink and drive. Just dont do it.

I will drive half an hour after i had a beer. I never drink more that that. Also even if its only one beer, if i feel funny i will wait a bit longer before getting behind the wheel. I would newer drive drunk. I have two friends who almost died because a drunk driver hit them. One was hit by a van which ran a red light at 60km/h which was enough to almost send him and is bike trough a pub window and another one was the only one of 4 people in the car who survived when a drunk driver hit them head on (the bastard pulled trough without a scratch on him). She was in a coma for months and had to go trough several plastic surgeries to repair here face injuries (she still looks very different than she did before, also there was significant brain injury so her personality had gotten a bit twisted since the accident also). And the most scary thing about that is that i was supposed to be with her in that car. She asked me to go home with her but i had to cancel because my father needed my help with something. If he hadn't called me that night i probably wouldn't be alive today

Let this be a roll call for the future DUI'ers of the World (DUIW).

Drinking and driving is just plain retarded. I've lost too many friends because of it.

And to answer

1. Are you male or female? male
2. How old are you? 25
3. How much do you weigh? 224
4. Would you consider yourself in good shape (aka more muscle than fat)?Getting there.
5. How many drinks can you have and still feel comfortable driving? Please give a time frame in which the alcohol would be consumed. At most it is 2 pints with at least an hour (and water) after the final one. If I have more, I get a ride or call a taxi. Why goto jail for driving drunk? You think you are on top of your game... but the fact is you are drunk. Try saying you are sorry to the family you just killed. Try saying you are sorry to your family for destroying it. Sure its cool to risk your luck. There is one thing out there that will always get you. My final words: Karma is a bitch.

male
25
178
im in decent shape and stay active
3-4 drinks over 4 hours should put me ok to drive, i know my limits if i have responsibilities which means i'd have about 2-3 drinks the first hour or two, chill out for the next hour or two mixing in a beer with 2-3 waters or redbulls. chill for another 30-hr and then drive off if i had to.

im the same way, I call 600 cabs after I go to church on sunday so no one drives home after having alcohol in the service. better safe than sorry.


Posted by Marc Summers on Oct-30-2006 16:24:

I get really cocky when I am drunk, and I usually find some way to get my buddies to give up my keys.

I've driven drunk, rolling, and high on weed all at the same time. I'm surprised I'm not dead. Now that I've calmed down somewhat, I realize the error of my ways.

Don't do stupid shit!

Re: Some questions about drinking alcohol

1. Male
2. 24
3. 135 lbs
4. good shape.
5. two beers. max. because i don't want to be stupid and drink and drive. it's not because i feel drunk, it's because the AF would kill me if i got anything related to any kind of alcohol + car incident [whether it be DUI, DWI, or anything related].

that and my truck is still relatively new [18 months], and i don't want anything bad to happen to it.

so general rule, if i drink, i won't drive...regardless if i feel like i can.

exception being having a beer @ a restaraunt w/ dinner or something.


Posted by RandomGirl on Oct-30-2006 19:58:

1. Are you male or female? Female
2. How old are you? 20
3. How much do you weigh? 110 lbs.
4. Would you consider yourself in good shape (aka more muscle than fat)? I am in decent shape.
5. How many drinks can you have and still feel comfortable driving? Please give a time frame in which the alcohol would be consumed.

I would probably not drive after 2 drinks. I am anti-drinking and driving. A few friends of mine have shown me that it isn't a bright idea.

Re: Some questions about drinking alcohol

1. Are you male or female? male
2. How old are you? 21
3. How much do you weigh? ~180pounds
4. Would you consider yourself in good shape (aka more muscle than fat)? not really, but not really in terrible shape either
5. How many drinks can you have and still feel comfortable driving? i require around one full bottle of vodka/whiskey/etc to even feel dizzy. i wouldn't be drunk driving regardless though, due to the legallity of the issue.
