Aside from 'parsing' 2 different posts, did you happen to notice I said IF you were a parent(fortunatly that probably won't happen) 1 drink at dinner. What ..you can't hold your liquor? You're the one spinning...course that's your normal state of mind....or what's left of it.

Of course I can hold my liquor, but of course I'm spinning. I just asked who drives home after you drink. Because if it's you, aren't you putting others at risk?

not with 1 drink, unless I was a jockey. You're so busy trying to answer that you don't grasp what I'm saying.

I guess i can add hypocrite to my list.

When I was like 19, I drove blazed once, I was so wrecked that I passed out in my driveway. My dad was at the OTB and he got home around 1:30am, and went inside looking for my keys, and then he knocked on my CAR window and there I was, sleeping away, never drove again under any type of impaired feelings.

....and so you should believe in Angels,too

You are a complete waste of time to me! Whatever your state allows .08 or .06 is the criiteria for putting others at risk. So....continue to babble on....

Actually it is generally .04 for when you are driving with your ability impaired. .08 is generally for driving while intoxicated. Your body does not process alcohol in the first hour of drinking and then processes it at the rate of .02 per hour. So if you had one 24 oz beer or a mixed drink with a double shot of alcohol in it or 10 oz wine when you are dining out then you could be driving impaired.

The Legal Limit
In all 50 states, the legal limit for drunk driving is a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level of .08. A 120-pound woman can reach a .08 BAC level after only two drinks and a 180-pound man can be at .08 after only four drinks.
A "drink" is either one shot of liquor, a five-ounce glass of wine or one beer, all of which contain the same amount of alcohol.

At a .08 BAC level, drivers are so impaired that they are 11 times more likely to have a single-vehicle crash than drivers with no alcohol in their system. But 25 years of research has shown that some impairment begins for both males and females even after one drink.


.02 BAC Level
At the .02 blood alcohol concentration level, experiments have demostrated that people exhibit some loss of judgment, begin to relax and feel good. But tests have also shown that drivers at the .02 level experience a decline in visual functions, affecting their ability to track a moving object, and experience a decline in the ability to perform two tasks at the same time.
These changes may be very subtle and barely noticable to the person who has had only one drink, but in an emergency situation while behind the wheel of a vehicle, they could cause the driver to react (or not react) as they would without having had a drink.


Dimmy, quit while you're behind. This wasn't one of your better showings today.

I said 1 drink...for me that would be less than .02...I wouldn't be impaired

What I can do is vouch for these studies..at least for me. I need only sniff booze and I'm seeing HUGE tits on Thebby.

There are def. times that I can have just one beer and really be feeling it. Especially when I dont eat much or have had a stressful day.
