I know that *I* would be fine. I have no idea if you would. We do weigh pretty much the same, though.

yes, you should be fine. If you don't feel like you can though, don't.

2 Delerium Tremens at 9% is going to be different than 2 Amstel Lights at 3.5%. The number of bottles is not the only factor.

Yeah, and if I have a drink, I don't drive for a whole week, just to be on the safe side.

So he is below the limit...a van filled with kids pulls out in front of him.
His refexes are just slightly impaired due to the 2 beers.
he kills all the occupants of the van.
So whats he going to tell the parents of the dead kids?
I only had 2 beers??
Things that make you go hmmmm

That situation is less likely than there being a wet spot on the road that affects his braking, or him not seeing the van cause he was adjusting the radio, or a million other things that could make him crash just as easily.

I'm not advocating drunk driving, I just don't get the paranoia about driving when you have even a single drop of alcohol that's not affecting your driving ability in your system.

If you are involved in an accident, the difference between a drop of alcohol and no drop of alcohol could be the difference between jail and no jail.

You'd have to have 1250 or fewer drops of blood in your body for 1 drop to put you over the legal limit. I'm jsut guessing, but 1250 drops is probably like... an ounce. You'd be dead from blood loss.

At this time of night, the more important question is, are you tired.

Being tired is more likely to affect your reflexes than a beer or two

Look into the buzz factor, not the number. If you are buzzing still, then do not drive. If you are not buzzed, but only drank two over a couple hours, then I'd say you're fine. Just smoke a bowl, and go. ;) j/k
