One of the charges is driving while impaired, so in that case, it doesn't matter how much he had to drink. |

Alcohol affects everyone differently. It all depends upon tolerance and body weight. The heavier the person, the more they can consume before becoming legally drunk.
If you have any doubts, I would go pick him up. DUI's are rather expensive, not to mention they stay on your record, make your insurance go up, health insurance goes up, and all sorts of other effects. Why chance it? If you don't feel comfortable, go get him with the intent of taking him out to dinner or something like that.
Good luck! |

He shouldn't be drinking or driving, no matter how much he has consumed! Geeeeze |

It's probably ok, but it really depends on the rate that he was drinking. If he drank a couple of beers in the afternoon but consumed 6 in the last 2 hours, that's too many to drive.
It boils down to when he consumed the last few beers. He should take a cab or have someone bring him home. There is no excuse for taking life threatening chances or putting someone else's life in his hands. |

It depends on many things, how much physical activity has he been doing during/after drinking, how big is he, and so on. if he feels he is not as what many people call "buzzing" he probably will be ok. but that doesn't mean his blood alcohol level will be under the legal limit. best option is to discuss your concerns with your husband and see if it would be better for either someone else bring him home, or you to pick him up (if possible) for his and other people's saftey on the roads. |

You may have to ask the coroner, if you can't get an answer sooner. This is serious stuff -- he needs to either admit the problem, or you need to get him to -- before he kills himself or somebody else. |

It's all about the person drinking and if their a functional alcoholic. I've known a man to have his throat close over the period of five years and he was unable to eat solid food, so he just drank beer, you would have never known he was a drinker either if you just met him.
Chances are though your husband doesn't have that much of a tolerance so he should probably cut back or drive a euro car so if he crashes no one innocent gets hurt. |

I used to think I was ok to drive too, until I got stopped one night. Being cuffed and taken to the police station changed my mind about drinking and driving. |

well it all depends on how much time there was between each beer and when he drank the last ones! |

It depends on a lot of things such as weight, if your mail, what are drinking. It really is not so much the intoxication as it is the impairment. If you have one beer, you can be to impaired to drive, and then, some people are not. I have stopped people that have drank alcohol but the passed my test. I have felt they were not to impaired to drive. So the short of it simple, if you drink, you are WAY better off not driving. It is not worth the trouble for the drink. |

Can he handle it? Does he appear coherent? Does he have all of motor skills present? Yes to these and he should be OK.
Does he have blood shot and glassy eyes? Does he smell like alcohol? Does he stumble? Does he slur his speech? Yes to any of these and he should be off the road.

It depends on his weight, and when he had the last 2 or 3 beers.

I'm retired after 28 yrs of policing. For a number of years I was an active Breathalyzer operator and conducted over 500 breath tests on suspected DUI's. Many heavy drinkers are well aware of legal limits, # of drinks per hour to reach certain levels, etc. They always try to say what they think will mislead the police, relatives, spouses. The more 'experienced' they are the more detailed the story. Regular drinker --- "How much have you had to drink this evening"?. "Only three beers". Why that number I don't know, but that's usually the answer. The person can be falling down drunk, but still say 3 beers. However, the problem drinker/alcoholic knows the rule of thumb is one drink per hour to (often) be safe to drive. Convenient? Sure, but you and I can easily tell that's a contrived answer. My experience and training usually shows me the person is lying, and their statement can be used against them in court. For instance, the driver blew .18%? That proves he knew he had too much to drink to be driving and really thinks he can outsmart everyone. Nope. He would have been better to do only what he *had* to do (i.e. blow) and otherwise keep his mouth shut. The fact that you yourself obviously know he is not being truthful tells me he is an experienced drinker or an alcoholic. At the very least he is a problem drinker that will end up killing himself, you, one of the kids, or some inocent stranger. Please believe me, it's a matter of 'when', not 'if'. I strongly suggest you speak to your family doctor or contact Al-Anon. That's a great support group for family members of 'problem' drinkers. They are or have been in your position. Please don't let it go on any longer. All the best, and good luck! |

That's lower than one drink per hour so based on that cheater estimation he is OK, but everyone is different, I would honestly drive after that rate, and if he drank the 8 beers at the end of the day that would be different too. |
