but driving with three beers you have the same chance to kill someone as someone who didn’t drink at all, are you with me here? you can’t say a guy it’s DRUNK with 2 or 3 beers..
1-I don´t know your alcohol tolerance. You can be drunk on three beers for all I know.
2-Bollocks. Your reactions are slowed down with ONE beer. So your chances of hitting something or someone are increse.
3-I´m with Marja on this one, our head does need checking.

1. nobody aged over 16 get drunk with 3 beers, supposing you’re drinking a normal blonde beer: 4°-5° (well, you don’t have to drink a 20° red triple-malt beer!)
2. why the legal limit is 0.50 and not 0.00 (at least in my country)? if your reactions are slowed down with one (ONE!) beer, there’s something wrong with your health… go to the doctor and tell him your problem.
(i’ve always known that in small doses alcohol increase your reflexes and reaction time; ONE beer is a small dose.. <—- maybe it’s wrong, i just heard that somewhere; even if it’s wrong, with ONE beer anybody CAN drive, trust me)

One beer doesn’t make you drunk, but it significantly slows down your reflexes. They do research on this kind of thing all the time man. I’ve seen (part of) a documentary on discovery channel where they showed how even one pint can alter your reaction times. When you’re driving, the conditions (day or night, wet/slippery or dry road, rain or fog) might decrease your ability to drive. If you want to add slower reactions on top of that, you’re, frankly, an idiot. Drinking 3 beers then driving? Piss off.
That’s like me saying I don’t really need to wear my glasses when I drive, cos I can basically make out the shapes of the signs and other cars anyway. It’s the LAW and you need to abide by it. This isn’t some little cool rebel thing. This isn’t smoking in the boys room in school or having a pint during lunch. This is about you endangering yourself and more importantly EVERYONE AROUND YOU.
I’m glad they actually have a limit at all in Italy, because before 1990 they didn’t, did they?

Have been watching this thread for as while, and really reassured at the majority opinion!! I’ve just sent my other half off to work, he’s a paramedic. He’d love to say that everyday he deals with people that are genuinly ill or injured through no fault of their own. he doesn’t he spends the best part of his working day mopping up the crap caused by drinking (be that drunk drivers that think they are alert enough to drive - you’re not booze is a chemical depressant, or usual binge drinking at the weekend). the sad thing is that it’s normally the drink driver f**kwit that gets off with the minor injury and the innocent victims that suffer. and all the time he’s dealing with these avoidable “accidents” there’s probably some poor old lady having a heart attack somewhere that he can’t get to cos he’s having to deal with the s**t caused by losers that think think they have the god given right to drive their cars whatever they’ve had to drink.
there rant over…

Well, Infernalover, you are so wrong about the amount of beer: Sometimes I drink 10 beer and THINK I would be able to drive( which of course I do NOT), but an other time I feel drunk as hell after 1 or 2 and then I am allowed to drive:This happened last summer on the beach, I drank 2 beers in the hot sun without having eaten anything, well, I wasn’t walking straight, fortunately I didn’t have to drive, but legally I would have been allowed to do so, so I think there should be ZeroTolerance when it comes to drink and driving…I can tell you that if they would catch all those people there wouldn’t be that many traffic jams any more!

Dont drink and drive, not for your own sake, but for everyone elses! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
I hope you don’t get your license back, cause when you still try to defend what you did, I don’t think you’ve learnt your lesson - no matter what you claim.

i didn’t want to mock your mistake, it was referred to the sense of your words (you said it like whenever a guy drive, he has chances of hit someone..):
dunno you, but MY chances of hitting someone is 0 (ZERO). and so should be for EVERY driver. unluckily it’s not. there are some drivers that are more and more dangerous than a “drunk driver”. (i’m not saying that driving drunk is ok…)

c’mon. i’m not an idiot! i said small doses, not “a couple” of cold ones!
another point is: (not to say i was right with having driven drunk that night)
if that night instead of drinking 10 beers i had smoke 10 joints, then for the alcoholimeric machine i would have been OK…
you think it is right?

There’s something delicious about that.
If you don’t drink at all if you’re going to drive, then you know you’re not going to have a problem & no-one else can blame you for being slightly/very drunk if you end up caught up in a situation that’s not your fault. If you can’t through an evening without having a drink, then you probably shouldn’t be driving in the first place, unless it’s to an AA meeting.
Here endeth the lesson. For now.

Just read through all these threads. I have been driving for 14 years now, and don’t drink and drive at all, not for my own sake but for others.
In the UK they have adverts on TV that scare the shit out of you, and are verey graphic to say the least.
I think there are times when I have one beer when I am not driving, and think I can feel that already. Health wise I am pretty sure I am ok, got round the London Marathon.
It has been interesting to see that attitudes around Europe mirror the vasst majority of attitudes here in the UK.
My fianl thoughts on this thread and drinking driving are based on Tom Araya’s words:
‘If you wanna live by the sword, you WILL die by the sword’
