in NJ the limit for drinking and driving is .08. Did you ever wonder how you could get to that limit? Is it 1 drink per hour? Is it 2 drinks per hour?

Do it by your weight and gender.

I could have 5 beers in one hour and still be legal.

5 beers in an hour puts me right at 0.080.

B
brothermanOG 2004

.075 for me.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

I could throw down a 6 pack in 2 hours and be below the limit. Huh. I never understood how this works til now.

This makes me feel like a lightweight! If I had 6 beers in 2 hours I KNOW I'd feel it and I wouldn't attempt driving.

iwz iwz

Oh yeah, seriously. If I've had 2 beers, I usually just make Mikayla drive. Better safe than sorry. 6 beers? forget it!

yeah, i normally don't drink much anyway, but if i'm driving i never have more than 2 beers, i drink water, and i wait a few hours to drive just in case. no sense pushing it.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

exactly. the repercussions are huge... for what? a couple beers? not worth it. not for one second.

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

yeah i've known a few guys who have gotten DUIs, and it is one of the worst things ever. Tons and tons of fines, lose your license for 7 months, mandatory classes. not to mention the fact you could kill or injure someone.

punkprincess punkprincessOG 2001

i lost my licence once. but not for dui. remember your dad yelled at me? lol *punk princess at 18->stupid*

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

wait... i think i do! wasn't it for speeding or something? going 100 or something like that?

punkprincess punkprincessOG 2001

yea, and you dad was like, you dont drive like that when MY kids are with you do you?

and you know whats annoying? Bill & i were driving home from your house, and he was racing me and I got pulled over & he just kept going. RAH i was so mad at him esp b/c i was following him.

lol... that stinks!

although bill got pulled over at least 3 times either from or to my house

hahaha, billy always got pulled over on the way home from our house.

um it was more then 100... lol the cop took your license right?

aww little tina was the only girl i knew that could keep up with me.

i remember that ... haha good times

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

i my reading is for 3 only. i'd only get to a sip of one beer and i'd be so bloated you'd have to roll me out. *i dont like beer bleck

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

it's weird, after 6 beers my BAC seems to increase at a much faster rate

jamiephaser jamiephaserOG 2003

dude i have seen you get tipsy on two longneck coors lights all saucy lol.

theremin thereminOG 2002

Light beer isn't light because it's low in alcohol. Many of the light beers have just as much alcohol as regular beers. Light beers are called light because they're low in calories. You have potential of getting drunk just as fast on light beer as you do on regular beer.

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

according to this, i could drink 10 beers in 25 minutes and be totally wasted.

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

woah! this is eye opening. i could have 3 drinks in an hour and still be at .079

I am so nervous about this, i don't drive after one drink. I'm going to start boozing it up....and then driving. hahah

web-toedchloe web-toedchloeOG 2001

I'm not sure about this. Alcohol stays in your bloodstream for a while, and it doesn't matter what size a person is, the breathalizers are skewed to get around that.

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

yeah but after a certain amount of time it does wear off. and you can see that according to this thing, it does show that it stays in your system for a while, because if i had 10 beers over 6 hours, i would still be well over the legal limit

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

I could have two in one hour and be at .064 um...I so know that I could never even drive after one.

For some reason the third one in an hour bumps me up to .102

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

Three drinks per hour for me-I would never drive after 3 drinks in one hour.

coreyfeldman coreyfeldmanOG 2003

These are 12 oz beers. a normal can/bottle/draft is 16 oz.

theremin thereminOG 2002

Yeh, definately don't look at this as British pints which is like 19.5 - 20 ounces. That'd be severe.

theremin thereminOG 2002

I hafta find out what I weigh. Haven't been on a scale in ages. But after a tiny bit of drink you gotta do the safe thing - hand over keys to a trusted friend who didn't have anything at all, wait awhile before leaving and eat food, anything that eliminates risk entirely for your situation, even if under the legal limit.

B
brothermanOG 2004

My rule is, if I have more than 2, I don't drive. I think it's silly to not drive just because you had one beer. I mean if you came with someone who didn't drink, then it doesn't hurt to let them drive, but 1 or 2 is not going to affect me. I mean the calculator said I could drink 5 and still be under the limit after an hour! LOL!

flomojopoanode flomojopoanodeFounder

I'm a lightweight, I can only drink 3 in an hour, 4 puts me over. I never drink that much anyway... I rarely drink.

theremin thereminOG 2002

Based on the weight I think I am, I think I have those same numbers. I'm not gonna test it out tho. That's plain stupid.

B
brothermanOG 2004

Test it while at home. Haha...

theremin thereminOG 2002

Uhm, it'd still be deathly dangerous to drive, no matter what the setting.

B
brothermanOG 2004

Don't drive, test it with another type of motor skill, like video games.

B
brothermanOG 2004

That's cuz you are a sissy. LOL!

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002

False.

alexOG 2001

wow. ok this test is really dumb. according to the test i would have negative blood alcohol levels if i consumed one beer or two beers in a six hour period. that is the dumbest thing i have ever heard. yeah, this makes a lot of sense. right now my bac is a 0.00. but if i drink this beer, then wait two hours, my bac will be even lower than 0.00. i think a cop would still take you in for negative bas levels.
