Do you drink and drive?

Maybe not hammered, but where do you draw the line when drinking and driving. If you're one of those tits that has 1 sip of wine and then says you can't drive, don't bother, but for the rest of us...what is too much?

for me 8 beers is tops, if i give myself time to sober up, but if i'm drinking then driving right after it's pretty much 3 tops, i could do more, but i dont want to push it since i'm technically supposed to have 0.0% alcohol.

Not usually, but last night I did.

Done it a few times; fucking hate myself the next morning.

edit: didn't read your question. Yesterday...perhaps from 12pm to 12am: perhaps 15 beers and 5 jagerbombs?

I don't drink and drive (bar a couple to stay below the limit) and I have no shame in telling you that you're a fucking idiot for doing it.

Couple of pints. The limit here is .3 Cant take the risk.

Meh.

I feel exactly the same way, buuut:

1. Was only driving for ten minutes, in very familiar streets.
2. Wasn't too pissed - sober enough to be nervous about drink driving (irony anyone?).
3. It was 12am, so there were fuck all cars on the road out in suburbia.
4. I'm an extremely conscientious and competent driver.

for me it's like

1. I'm only driving the highway for 40 minutes
2. I had 7 beers all night, from 9:45-2AM
3. It's 5 AM now
4. I'm a good enough driver

That's probably not even drink driving?

Your liver apparently clears 1 standard drink an hour (no quoting though), and 10-5 = 7hrs, which would roughly make you .00

I would have no worries doing that at all, and neither should you!

Yesterday I was probably .06, .01 over our legal limit - hence the guilt.

Does anyone ever drug drive?

I'd never drive on speed or weed. Used to drive a lot on e when I was younger though - I didn't find it to affect my concentration or reactionary skills at all; if anything it sharpened them slightly.
Not talking about being mega-fucked though obviously - more of a "night after" thing on the way home when you're through the best/worst of the pill.

People like you need to be neutered.

It's not just about you, it's about safety of others. If you drink and drive you may be creating a mess for other as well, so please don't, get a cab.

Fucking dolt.


Posted by noikeee on Nov-11-2007 15:40:

2 beers tops here. Can't take the risk of being caught and don't want to be a risk to others. I have 2 or 3 friends that are fucking idiots and go drive completely hammered though. Like waking up the other day without knowing how did they get home. That's fucked up.


Posted by Zild on Nov-11-2007 15:59:

I try not to. I know they would never be able to make DWI charges stick but they take your license no matter what.


Posted by Andryuha on Nov-11-2007 16:01:

2 beers max.


Posted by Boomer187 on Nov-11-2007 16:06:

about a beer an hour, with the last hour n half to two hours drinking water. oh and this is with food, beer only (no shots).


so sometimes I start off with two beers the first hour and slow down after that i think it also works out statistically with your metabolizing of the alcohol.

that sounds about right. doing any shots, and i refuse to drive.

but yeah most of the time if i'm going to drink and i know ihave to drive, i'll stick to the one beer per hour rule.

It's all funny till someone gets hurt. Douch�.


Posted by D-res on Nov-11-2007 17:45:

All too often. Usually I can gauge where the line is, although if I'm just shitfaced beyond recognition, I usually say I can drive then too, although by that point its fairly obvious I can't.

Only on the way to work


Posted by DJMiakoda on Nov-11-2007 18:27:

Saying you're a good enough driver to drive drunk is only fooling yourself.
Doesn't matter what time of the day or night it is, drunk drivers are a threat to everyone else on the road.

I have zero respect for people who drink and drive after seeing a family get destroyed by a drunk driver on my road.

When you drink and drive you're basically saying you don't care about anyone, including yourself.

Hell no.
