I'm good to drive after 2 drinks, I'll only have more than that (unless I'm chilling for like 3+ hours) if I'm not driving

Dont drink and drive at all dude, please

How you feel is a terrible measurement of whether you are good to drive or not after having a couple drinks

It's not about how I feel, I know I'm good to drive after 2 drinks because it doesn't affect my motor skills at that point, I don't drive buzzed or tipsy, let alone drunk

I'm comfortable with 1 drink. usually if I'm drinking it's quite late and I'm exhausted already so I don't really want to test my limits on the road.

I feel like "limit" could be taken a few different ways here. I used to be able to put down like 8-10 before I'd get to the puking/blackout point, but I don't know if I could do that now. I don't even like to get "drunk" now. I'll only have one or two. I'd probably be pretty hammered at 4 or 5 nowadays

Yeah, particularly given that there's likely a certain amount I could reasonably consume, but my limit is zero because I refuse to imbibe and discourage others from doing it as well.

I don't even like to drive completely sober from driving anxiety, I wouldn't feel comfortable after drinking.

Moot point though I haven't driven in like 8 years.

If you drive after drinking you're a thoughtless asshole.

yea, and it's unfortunately higher than i like

on nights where i want to remain relatively buzzed for 4-6 hours, i go through about half a quart of crown

i don't touch a driving wheel for like 16 hours after even tasting a sip though out of principle

This is a willpower issue, not a physical limit issue. Anyone can give themselves kidney stones or alcohol poisoning by drinking too much too often.



Ive been getting better at stopping after one or two. But sometimes Ill drink a case of Nudes, or a four-pack of tally IPAs.

My limit is when Im still conscious enough to function but also start making bad decisions, like tipping mailboxes or being a menace in general.

Legally, my limit is one proper pint and half of a beer to a full beer, both at 5%/vol. This would get me safely under 0.05% BAC.

Still havent reached the point of puking or passing out yet so no to my take on what limit means. For your take zero. I shouldnt be driving sober let alone after drinking.

I never get drunk, I just haven't any interest in that. My "limit" is one glass of wine or shot of something on the rare occasions I do drink alcohol, usually vodka or tequila or a fruit liqueur like crme de cassis, because that's the only amount that's safe for me to have with all the pain meds I'm on, and I came to that conclusion very cautiously!

Good judgement is being aware of your faculties, your tolerance, how much you've had to drink, how much time has passed since you've been drinking, etc. Not all judgement gets thrown out the window as soon as you've had your first sip of alcohol. I'm not defending drunk driving, it's a terrible thing. Alcohol also can affect people in different ways. If you think it's dangerous for you to be driving after having any alcohol, then by all means don't do it. If I spend three hours at a bar and have had two 6% beers spread out over that period of time, then I know I'm going to be just fine.

Bad judgment is thinking that all of this bullshit rationalizing makes someone any less of a brainless asshole for drinking and driving

Bad judgement is adhering to extremes rather than recognizing nuance. Labeling someone a "brainless asshole" for having a small amount of beer and driving afterwards is not productive.

True, and the facts in my scenario showed that I was safe to drive. I know because I actually got pulled over in this scenario for my tag lights being out, and when I told the officer I had two beers at the bar, they performed a sobriety test, which I passed, though it was scary as hell.

If I have any intention of driving, I limit myself to a single drink that I finish at least an hour before I have to drive. If I'm going to be there for a while and will have a couple hours before driving, I might have a second, but that's the absolute most. If I have any intention of drinking beyond just having a beer/glass of wine with the meal, I don't drive.

Maybe not productive, but it's true.

Drinking - even "a small amount of beer" - and driving makes one a brainless asshole
