Re: Ticket (Hot Vibe)

quote:Yeah Drunkenvibe the legal limit is 2 beers now. New laws are going to be passed that will make the legal limit less than 2 beers. You can have one 12oz beer and drive fine but if you have that 2nd one you need to legally sit for an hour before you can drive home. It is crazy. Not trying to start an argument but I believe that the laws are so strict with drinking and driving(which I think is good) that an honest man out with family at dinner legally can only have one drink with his meal. Maybe if I was at Macdonald's would I only have one drink which is 22oz or bigger. This law could kill some Microbrewery's and fine dining establishments. I have already discussed this with family and friends (which a few are police officers). I have decided not to drink at all while I am out unless my wife drives home. Not worth it to even try once the law changes. I could loose my job/house/wife/child for drinking two beers at dinner. Let me know which one of those you would chose. At home watching college football 2 beers are gone before game time. I am sure that drunkenvibe could appreciate that. Intresting concept but how do they intend on detecting two beers.... Is that 4% or 7% or 7.5% alcohol, 355 ml bottle or a pint..... See my point... beers come in a variety of strengths, sizes... as do many other drinks... No state or province would pass a law like that..... They may lower the blood alcohol concentration limit which is what many states are doing.... Like here in Canada the legal BAC is 80 mg% or 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 milliters of blood. I have heard a few states are looking at going to 60 mg%..... This concentration is getting close to an average male consuming 2 16oz. glasses (not bottles) of beer. but you got the right idea.... just don't drink and drive at all..... Even if you are under the legal limit does not mean you are not inpaired.

quote:I had an officer let me take a breathalizer after having two beers. I like mine strong from a micro brewery. 5.6% just like an ice beer.I drank them within 45-50 minutes. I even had a cigar to make the beer last longer. You are correct drunkenvibe in the assumption that I enjoy life and hearty beers. I exercise but it does not matter. Life is good to me. A typical large scottish guy ready to drink a keg. Obviously two beers does not make me feel funny at all. I took the test and blew a .09 which would have been enough for me to get a DUI. I could not believe it. The officer (friend) told me a good rule of thumb is 1 1/2 to 2 beers every hour. Since I drink a hearty beer I need to be careful. So I ordered another pitcher and had a few more. I was already over my limit to drive and I did not feel like sitting in a wonderful microbrewery and drink pop. My friend drove us home. Only had one beer to show what his alcohol content was. It is scary what the laws are now. I am a good size guy at 250lbs 5'10" with a 54" chest. I look like a nose tackle. The law a few years ago was .1 now it is .08 That makes quite the difference. Drunkenvibe you take care. Also to all of the Vibe meets. Drive all day to a meet and enjoy a couple of beers after a hot day in the sun then (accidents happen). I am not saying an officer will pull you over just to see if you are drunk. I am saying for example you are at a light waiting for it to change and some A-hole behind you taps you and damages a tailight. An officer driving by stops to help and smells beer on your breath. yada yada your done. The chances of this happening are slim to none. Just trying to make a point. I am not quesitoning me being able to drink 2 beers for dinner. I will just have to time myself and stay if I am going to have 2. If the service is slow or we are there a long time then ok. I am not going to risk it. I hope that I have shed some light on the subject. Just wait until the laws change from .08 to .06 That is 1 beer period. If we think its bad here try Europe. Do not even think about driving and going to a bar. I remember being in Scottland and going to a pub. There was a guy that was arrested before he got back into his car. That scared me to death. We drove to the pub and took a cab home. That could have been me and I did not know it. 5.6% is plain old beer here in Canada...... a strong beer is 7% and higher..... we have some up around 9%... Your police friend is somewhat correct... 1 to 2 beers an hour for an average sized male... Again the beers he is refering to are not bottles but 16oz glasses... a typical bottle is closer to 2 glasses.... I teach officers how to use the "Breathalyzer" and as part of the training they get to drink and be tested... I can tell you from experience that most are as supprised as you were on how little alcohol it takes to get into the legal limit. But I can say how obviously inotoxicated most of them act as well.....

Paul,you are just a typical teenage guy going thru the ups and downs of becoming a man. we all have raging hormones and crazy thoughts when we grow up. nothing wrong with that. but, here, we are all cheering for you and hope you can learn from the plethora of experiences this forum has to offer. why make mistakes everyone else makes if you can avoid it with foresight. kinda like watching scary movies when you know the killer is hiding in the closet and the girl just walks in. you want to scream "don't go in there!" but it's too late. never mind the fact there are 3 dead bodies lying on the floor....
