I wonder how that works.

Oh, this is a good thread to post this chart.

You can see how far you are progressing!

not everyone who drinks is an alky, some can control it 😉 not me but some can.
 
Oh, I realize that. I found that chart the other day and it brought back memories. The first time I saw it back in '97 I was barely on the chart. Man I slid far down that sucker.

I just like to give information might be useful and informative.

.10 seconds actually

 
I don't know how much truth there is in it but I have heard many places that the overage body can process on regular serving per hour.

It takes an average body 1 hour to process one drink through. 1 drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80 proof alcohol.

Wow what a waste of time. I had 3 drinks in less than .08 seconds.

 
I'm on Coors Light #8 right now, so I would assume that I'm legally drunk... 🙂 However, I'm not driving anywhere, so it's all good...

Last time I drank, I consumed one fifth (1/5th gallon) of 80 proof smirnoff strawberry vodka (drank straight, no mixer or chaser) in two hours.
Does that qualify as legally drunk?


I may have been shit-faced, but I was sober enough to clean up my vomit before passing out!

I've stuck to another, safer, more natural alternative since then.

drinking vodka straight never leads to anything good.
 
My cousin got pulled over a few months ago for going 50mph in a 45mph zone. He was arrested for drunk driving. His BAC was 0.02 (correct). Apparently in California, any alcohol in your system equates to drunk driving??? Got fined $2000 plus community service, etc.

Oh, their working on that. Their the ones artificially holding the drinking age to 21 still too. Even though numerous college presidents think otherwise. Less binging occurs once legal.

hehe, think so? You should see the streets at 1AM on a Friday/Saturday in the city I live in..

I don't know if there's any one magic forumla... I've had nights of drinking where I felt absolutely fine: no fuzziness, no tiredness,, but I would have blown over easily.

It's easier to just err on the side of caution, or hey, have a DD or a call a cab... not that difficult to make a sensible choice that still allows you to have fun..

Either he was underage or dyslexic, .20 vs .02.
