Yes. One drink an hour. No matter what kind.

Stop saying stupid . |

I dont want you to delete your post, I want you to not drive after drinking. ;)
For professional drivers there is a period of 12-hour you can not have been drinking, before getting in the seat of a vehicle, and I do believe these are international (at least EU), and it is because everybody metabolizes alcohol differently and there are far too many factors too include that a simple list with time+alcohol amount just isn't accurate enough, and the fact that your government think it is, is beyond me. And most other countries in the world. |

Yes, 1 drink = 12oz beer, one shot, one glass of wine. 3 shots is the same as 3 beers, ergo, if you drink 3 drinks within 10 minutes, they will be out of your system in 3 hours.
Math is hard.
Regardless, most adult males could have 3 drinks in an hour and still be fine to drive immediately after finishing the last one. Hence the legal limit being .08% (3-4 drinks). |

Fair enough. I totally agree with you that it's much more complicated than the simple math presented (though, those factors are all discussed in some depth over the rest of that article). Still, I think the whole 'not a single drop of alcohol' stigma is going wayyy too far. It's a tyrannical crusade, imo. If I drink 3 beers over a 2 hour span and then wait 3 hours to drive (as I did in the story I shared here) then I know myself to be stone cold sober. Perhaps that isn't true for everyone but it certainly is for me. I believe that I was fine to drive a full hour before that even, but it's important to exercise caution in these matters as the penalties are so harsh. |

Which is stupidly high. In Norway the legal limit is .02%. Many of the -ia's and surrounding countries even have 0.0%.

Yes, because all types of wine have the same alcohol level. That's a well known fact. Everybody also knows that a Piņa Colada and a Long Island Iced Tea have the exact same alcohol content.
The rate of consumption also plays a big role in both how inebriated you get and the rate of which you get there. Getting drunk fast doesn't =staying drunk for 3 hours then suddenly not be drunk again.
It takes the body roughly 25 minutes from you have ingested the last unit of alcohol to reach a plateau of drunkenness, in which it will stay for, as you said, 3 hours, followed by a decrease in inebreation, or a come-down if you'd like. Just like with those ecstasies you had one too many of. |

Yes. .08% is stupidly high. American lawmakers must be pro-drinking and driving. OR maybe it's that a normal person who isn't an idiot can operate a car perfectly fine with a BAC of .06%.
I think you're just a .
Sure, not all people should drive after drinking, but it's equally stupid to say that nobody should drive even after drinking a small amount. |

| Driving home one evening, it is raining like crazy. This black car from New York has no lights on and decides to turn without warning. Thankfully I kept my eyes open for that moron. I truly wish I had a Hummer sometimes, people like that individual I wouldn't mind running off the road. |
