I know in NY, the legal limit for underage people is 0.02. I would check your state laws.

When I was younger I did. I've even been pulled over twice while intoxicated and not even asked if I have been drinking. But I'm too old to be that stupid anymore.
 

Yup, plenty of times. I'm sure it will happen plenty of times in the future too.
If you don't like that, too bad.

im in MN i believe the legal limit here is around (.08) i could have that completely fvcking wrong though

never drove intoxicated, except for a schwinn bike once

i don't plan to either (not much of a drinker anyway)

how much can one consume and still be under the legal limit, isn't it around 1 beer and hour, or one shot an hour?

I think we're in the same boat here.

Maybe...I was pretty drunk, slept for about 6 hours, and woke up. I'm not sure if I was a little tipsy, or if I just felt like crap from a bad sleep and booze.

Two nights ago and I was speeding... Tsk... I went 55 in 35 and 80 in 65 all while I was around .08 :( But I had some good drifting skills at the time :) Wet roads as well :) [OREGON]

And I didn't feel drunk but legally I probally was right there on the .08 scale... I drive fine and those speeds are my normal speeding that I do, heck I don't even consider that speeds sppeding at all. Oh well... Nobody got hurt and that's the most important thing.

Way too many times to even think about but it was back in the days when there were few consequences. I am very fortunate that I didn't kill myself, or more importantly, some innocent bystander.

Does legally intoxicated mean above the limit?

Or do you mean intoxicated (as in you've drank) but are still under the legal limit, thus driving (legally) while "intoxicated"?

I have driven many times after only a couple of drinks - I always felt fine and drove fine but was likely over the legal limit.
