Drinking and Driving

[FireyBudBurner]

Yea I'm not a big drinker and somedays that second beer can get you a real good buzz. Somedays you need to throw them back to get buzzed, which means your hurting the next day. I think hangovers and not being able to drive safely really make alcohol a big negative unless your partying. Not to mention the dumb shit that can come out of your mouth in front of friends and loved ones after one to many.

Well I drink everyday..I am just 110 pounds....3 beers and I'm half drunk. So 2 beers and I shouldn't drive.

AUGGGGGGGHHHHHHH insanely frustrating. i've been drinking and driving a long time. and i CAN tell when i'm to the point that i shouldn't drive. also another thing, i'm not talking about cruising along eighty miles an hour on the freeway, when im drinking and driving i usually keep it under thirty, because i'm driving on back roads through the woods. i live in rural pa and i can drink all night long with a case of beer on the back roads and not see another person. if i'm out in town drinking at the bars, i never drive. but its not unusual for a few of us to grab a case and hit the back roads all night.

also ironically enough. i got a dui while i was stoned, i've never even been pulled over while i was drinking.

It's in the same category as toking and driving...
It's unsafe, so don't do it.

how can all of you think that its ok to smoke and drive just because you do it all the time, and not think the same way about alcohol......im baffled. you all do realize that you're not a stumbling around drunken irishman after the first one right? there are different levels of intoxification when it comes to drinking , just the same as with smoking!!

You're right, there are different levels of intoxication when it comes to drinking. But I don't think people are talking about getting into a car after the first drink. It's that "I'm soo fuckin drunk" or even "Damn I got a really good buzz" state where people shouldn't be driving. If you go out to dinner and have a couple glasses of wine or a few beers it's not such a big deal(depending on your weight of course). But if you're drinking to get drunk, you shouldn't be driving. Period!
