aH...

I see that Arfcoms Mad Mom contingent is out in force tonight.

You young pups amaze me.... "Drinking before/while driving" somehow has come to mean blind drunk behind the wheel.

So, in your mind, someone asking where he can buy the tool that the cops would use to incarcerate him is just looking for a reason to drive drunk. Even though he wants to make sure that he isn't 'legally' drunk...

You friggin' amaze me.

I was going to ask where I could get my speedometer calibrated but nevermind.

(OP.... run! I think I might have distracted the neo-prohibitionist bitches so you can escape. You owe me a beer)

The way I took it is he is trying to do the right thing. He wants to make sure he is ok. Hell he may set his personal limit to be .02 before he will drive. All these asses are assuming that he is going to make sure he is at .079 so he can beat the system and drive on the edge. If I go to have dinner with a couple of friends, have a couple of beers and DON'T FEEL ANY EFFECTS AT ALL. It would still be nice to use a PBT to check.

I did the same thing, it's good to know your numbers. I can drink three beers at any pace, and keep myself under the "man's" arbitrary numbers. Although I was thinking about the CCW laws, not the drunk driving laws. But it's the same threshold.

actually its not the same. DWI is when your BAL is .08 or over. There is zero tolerance when you carry. If your BAL shows any content you will go to jail, and its a felony to boot.

ETA this is in TX, not sure of other state's laws.

Who here has sipped a beer while driving?

I even know of some drive through Margarita stands

Apparently if they don't put the straw in it, they haven't made it an open container.

Here's a question...which would you rather have:
A person who is paying attention to driving and is well rested without distractions, but has 2 beers in him.

Or a person who is tired from a long week at work, driving home in a hurry, and is on their phone.

Pretend there is not a neither option, and then realize that you drive with the second person ALL THE TIME. Accidents happen, people get totally fucked up in car wrecks. Sometimes it's a drunk, sometimes it's a sober person who's at fault. There is no blanket solution and legal limits only address one tiny part of the overall problem, people drive while impaired. Me? I'd take the guy with two beers but who actually cares about his driving. His reactions are a fraction slower, but at least he's looking at the road. Arfcom's take though is that no matter what, under no circumstances whatsoever, no matter the situation, if alcohol touches your lips you should be kept 100m away from any car like device. You know those car things outside the grocery store for little kids, the ones that cost a quarter? YOU STAY THE FUCK AWAY YOU DRUNK BASTARD.

First time I went to the Dayton ham fest in Dayton Ohio was years ago they had drive through beer stores I thought that's great. Then I found out they had open container law that had some kind of mandatory jail time and I said wtf. This is some kind of entrapment. We bought the beer and drank it at Hara arena. We would cug alug the last one as we got in the car

no open container and we were now also guilty of littering. But we never had more than 3 or 4 a day.

In the 70 -80's it was normal to buy a 12 pack and split it between 2 or 3 guys and just go out driving not saying it's right just the way it was.

Its kind of like going to a good church bazaar You are going to drink 4 Lone Star beers while you listen to the polka music for 3 hours it would be nice to know your OK to drive? I would say at 250 pounds and full of barbecue or fried chicken you would be but what do I know? Though I have watched people who have not had a drop drive like shit.

I agree with the texting issue. Both scenerios are wrong and Should be Completely Avoided. Don't try to figure a way around it.
That does not change the fact that drinking/texting and driving are any different than my sarcastic scenerio. Neither can or should be justified.
If the OP or anyone else is going to drink the should not drive. If they are not responsible with the booze, who's to say they are responsible with anything, including their guns

I guess as a guy who might drink 4 beers a year, I just don't see where Alcohol could be important enough to a person that they would even risk the possibility of a DIU or DWI. What is really so important about having a drink with your friends that you guys are willing to risk a life changing experience for it? A criminal drinking charge can have a huge impact on a guy, especially in his 20's and 30's. But, if that's where you're at in life.......

Maybe your friends aren't worth having if you need a drink to hang around with them...

You better check Iowa's DUI laws.

Here in IL, if an officer believes you are the slightest bit impaired, you can get hooked up for ANY AMOUNT of BAC.

There is NO statutory minimum at which you are "safe" in IL.

My personal limit is two drinks per night over a minimum of two hours. That has served me well.

These people who drink three to five and try to drive home... I don't see how they do it.

Wasn't there some famous sports athlete that was stopped and got a dui for under the legal limit? I was informed when that happened that the legal limit means nothing, if you are pulled over and suspected of drinking any amount can get you charged with something. I think it depends on where you are at but the legal limit really means nothing. I agree with dui limits but I think the legal limit is so low that being below that should not be illegal. In most places it's 0.8. I think it's 0.6 in a lot of places as well.

But yeah, if you are that worried you want to get a breath unit it's a bad sign. Just limit yourself to 3 beers an outing. Make sure not to drink any of them the last hour before you have to drive. don't drink them all in the same hour. It's just easier not to drink at all in my opinion. Basically you cannot drink until you have a buzz so what's the point.

All this means is that you have built up a tolerance which is not something to be proud of even though it will impress the average 19 year old.
There is nothing "manly" about drinking and driving. There is no God given inalienable or Constitutional right to drive around pissed up.

Ranger, all due respect but I think you're missing the point. We, or at least most here, aren't saying that having one beer and driving is verboten or is the same as driving drunk.

What we're saying is "With the prevailing attitude towards drinking and driving by MOST cops, even having a single beer and driving COULD land you in jail for driving while impaired, and that's just not worth it".

In other words, if a cop pulls you over and smells alcohol on your breath, even if you pass the field sobriety test, and even if you pass a breathalyzer test, you could still be charged, and that's just not worth the price of cab fare.

Threads like this are amusing.

Any reference to consuming alcohol before driving brings out stories about DWI wrecks, and friends who were killed/injured, and blah blah fuckity blah.

It goes from a guy wanting to know if he can have a couple of beers and then legally drive, to stories about people who were shitfaced falling down drunk that wrecked and killed someone.

It's like mentioning guns to a liberal and their mind instantly jumps to mass shootings and drivebys.

Then people love to use the tired old line that some guy "just had a few beers" and then killed 9 children in a fiery wreck. Well, bullshit. Either he would have wrecked sober, or he lied about how many he had. I have a feeling that the majority of the ones who pull out the MADD lines don't drink. If you drink often enough, you know your limits and you can tell if you're "impaired" or not.

Of course there are idiots who drive when they're tanked. I've lost 2 friends to it and you know what? They were idiots. They were the ones who would get downright violent if someone suggested they were too drunk to drive. Everyone knew it was just a matter of time before they bought it. I also have a dozen other friends who drive after having a couple of drinks and they've never had a problem because they know when to give up the keys.

I swear sometimes this place focuses on nothing but the extreme opposite ends of any topic.

You know, there's plenty of people who don't even feel a bit impaired and may be close to the LEGAL limit.

They keep lowering the BAC limits. It's sort of like being required to drive 35mph after taking the speedometer out of the car. Heck EVERYONE should be able to look out the window and tell how fast they're going, right? If a measurement is good enough for the cops, it's good enough for the OP.

Or for the nights you get drunk and crash at someone's house to sleep it off... then wake up the next morning and not realize that you could still legally be impaired.

Personally, I rarely drink anymore and if I do it's a few at home. But I can't see how having an item like this is a BAD thing. If he blows over .08, he doesn't drive. That's better than most of the guys at the bars do.

If you don't like people driving at .07 or so, then feel free to donate to your favorite lobbying industry like MADD.

Of course, feel free to label me as encouraging factory installation of kegerators in every passenger vehicle.

Then people love to use the tired old line that some guy "just had a few beers" and then killed 9 children in a fiery wreck. Well, bullshit. Either he would have wrecked sober, or he lied about how many he had. I have a feeling that the majority of the ones who pull out the MADD lines don't drink. If you drink often enough, you know your limits and you can tell if you're "impaired" or not.

Of course there are idiots who drive when they're tanked. I've lost 2 friends to it and you know what? They were idiots. They were the ones who would get downright violent if someone suggested they were too drunk to drive. Everyone knew it was just a matter of time before they bought it. I also have a dozen other friends who drive after having a couple of drinks and they've never had a problem because they know when to give up the keys.

I swear sometimes this place focuses on nothing but the extreme opposite ends of any topic.

Let me add this:

Threads like this show the liberal bullshit put out in schools and on television is working. It used to be legal to have an open container in a vehicle. In fact, I have seen police on duty get out of their cars with one. Since the schools were so effective in putting out their bullshit, threads like this tell you it is not practical to even drive by a place that serves alcohol, let alone go in and actually have one. Another thing that threads like this show is how personal responsibility has gone down the shitter. Most people view society as they view themselves. So threads like this say a lot about the people posting in it. A lot, if not most of the people posting in this thread don't have enough sense to know when they have had enough. That's pretty sad.

I see a lot of threads on here about freedom and not having the .gov interfering in your life. It seems the people posting in those threads are the first to stand up and tell you how to live your life.

Well, enough of this bullshit. I'm going to run some errands (I'm sober so don't get your panties in a wad), then I'm going to sit out on the back porch, drink some beers, and shoot my rifle. I would suggest evacuating the state from Waco east to the state line. Feel free to call the sheriff on me, since I will, according to some on here be acting irresponsibly, and possibly breaking the law.

I see nothing wrong with driving home after having a glass of wine or two with dinner.

I'm crazy like that.

What the hell is the matter with you people? You sound like a bunch of GD liberals.

The OP is taking responsibility. He's trying to figure out how much he can drink and stay under the legal limits. It's not like anyone is drunk at the legal limit, they are pathetically low.

What a bunch of politically correct sucks

Afcom is full of people who have no problem with telling others how to live their lives. This site is full of liberals (they just don't call themselves that).

+1. All these people here are going to call a cab after 2-3 beers? bullshit. All these people here NEVER have a beer with dinner because "any amount will impair you" bullshit. OP: If I know I have to drive, I just watch how much I drink. stick with no more than a beer per hour, for a max of 3 beers, you'll probably be ok, unless you are super skinny or something.

agreed!
