Well I haven't drank like that in some number of years when I was much younger...
However to defend myself and others, it has always been my understanding that the legal limit is different for different people and it has a lot to do with your weight and metabolism...
Some folks that are large and overweight, tend to absorb alcohol faster and also rid their body of it faster...
Smaller folks keep it in their system a longer time...
I never knew the legal limit when I was younger, and there was no way to test my own self...
When I did drive after drinking, I never had a wreck or was stopped by police or had any problems...
Maybe I was not that drunk...
I can't just sit and drink and drink and that applies to now as well as when I was younger...

Hand on heart, never, I have a zero alcohol policy when driving. But you should see me when its my turn NOT to drive.

Last year a little boy that I babysat was playing on the side of the road, and a drunk driver hit him. It was truly the saddest thing I had ever witnessed. He didn't even make it to the hospital.

Which is why I will NEVER drive drunk.

Only a bicycle (which is still an arrestable offence) - but never ever in a car!!

I guess if you had more than 3 drinks you were over the limit automatically? But it depends on the elapsed time over which you had the drinks. If you ran into a tree, you were probably over the limit. The best solution is not to drink and drive or speed and drive. Then you know your good by definition.

Once or twice 'the morning after', before I realised that was just as bad! Still managed to crash once due to sheer incompetance while stone cold sober, so just because a person doesn't drink drive, it doesn't necessarily make them a good driver.
Anyone thinking of mounting their high horse needs to remember that!

Oh grief - probably - unknowingly, the morning after. I know a guy who lost his license collecting his car from the pub the following lunchtime! He thought he was doing the right thing leaving it that long - he was totally incredulous when he got a positive alcohol reading. It just goes to show - it takes a lot longer than we think to get the alcohol out of our systems.

I did about eight years ago. I thought I was ok, but when I went out in the morning and saw how I had parked...... I should never have been behind the wheel. Never again.

Never knowingly.

I have never driven after having even one glass of wine but I have been heariing how, even after a night's sleep, you can be unsafe. It has made me think.

No, I've never had a drink then drove. I personally think 1 drink is 1 too many.

I have and I have ridden with drunks ! Never again it took a really bad car accident to smarten me up . I wasn't driving but I got hurt really bad and I could have been killed by the look of the car. I never saw the car but my Dad did and he describe it to me !! I spent a year in and out of the hospital and now have one leg shorter than the other and I walk with a limp ! Could be worse I could be dead!! The accident was so bad that it was reported that I had died so imagine the look on my friends faces when they saw me ! I wondered why nobody came to see me in the hospital !!

No - but then I have never driven.
I do take this seriously though and would never get in a car with someone who might have.

Me. It was years ago, before it was the big social evil it is now. I still don't know how I did it - I couldn't even see where I was going, and it was a 20 minute drive! It was quite a common thing to do in those days.


vdv_desantnik
Never. I wont even drive after one drink, and only drink when I know I wont be driving the next day
