Obviously he's not the smartest, but if you are going to drive drunk, wtf are you going 97 mph :facepalm: I think it would be easy to tell when I'm borderline and driving home...it's about the only time the needle on the speedometer stays right on the actual speed limit.

And for all the soap boxers, don't come in here and act like you've never driven while questionable. I'd venture to guess that of all adults legal drinking age at least 75% have done so.

exactly what I was thinking, when I am questionable I abide by all driving rules and even come to a complete stop at stop signs too...:shrug:

It's one thing to do it, and hopefully have learned as you have matured about why not to do it.

It's an other to post that it is borderline acceptable if you stay within speed limits and because you presume a majority of adults have done the same thing.

Stopping at stop signs and abiding by driving rules, what a novel concept.

I am not a saint for what I have done in the past (pun definitely not intended), but that is most definitely in the past, far past. It amazes me that buzzed driving is deemed acceptable by so many on here and in society.

Put me in the 25% group.............If I have to drive, 2 maybe 3 beers and done...............I't not worth the risk.....:0008

Just so you know three is considered under the influence, sorry, you aren't the angel you thought you were.

depends on the amount of time they are consumed.

I had 3 in 1.5 hours and was pulled over for a tail light that I did not know was out. I told the cop and he made me do a sobriety test which I passed with flying colors. He then said he was going to give me a breath alyzer and I had to wait 20 more minutes for another cop to give it to me.. (ASSHOLES).. I blew a 0.5 on 3 beers in about 2 hours after it was said and done.

Speaking of Turner my trade past the objection deadline but players never switched rosters.

My buddy had a blower in his car and we were at a cookout one time. I think I had two beers in an hour and had to go literally three blocks to pick up a friend that is handicapped and my buddy has a wheelchair holder in his truck. I get in and blow and hum into the thing and it comes up .04, so I am like...........cool. Truck won't start............fuck.......blow again..........still nothing.......I try it four more times before I get out and tell my buddy that his truck is fucked up. I tell him the story and he has a fit. Apparently .04 is the limit on those things and you only get five violations a month and they can arrest you!?!!

Yeah, that went over well.

I'm well aware of what 2/3 beers will do to my system & faculties. Anytime you put alcohol into your system you're under the influcence...But you knew that already....


Hope this helps.............:0008

Well I was just saying because the last time you did that you ended up hitting a tree and Elin left you and you haven't won a major since......just saying.


Besides, Angels are white not asian-african. Just look at the pictures in the Sistine Chapel.

It all makes sense now............:facepalm:

Where does the word acceptable appear in my post?

So you never go to dinner with your wife, girlfriend, whatever, have a cocktail while waiting to be seated and split a bottle of wine with dinner.

3 drinks over 3 hours, 185lbs shouldn't put me over the limit. But if I didn't eat any food until that meal (which is common for me), then who's to say if I'd blow a .09 or up.

Get off your high horse.

Exactly! Are you going to be over the legal limit? Most likely not. Is it possible? You betcha. This happens all the time.

What an idiot these athletes are!:facepalm:

Rent a fuckin limo. Plenty of money so I just don't understand these guys driving after drinking. Yes, I've done it but I don't do it anymore. Been years since I've gotten drunk and drove home. If I have more than a few beers and feel like I can't drive, I always take a cab.
