Should I be arrested?

I just drove after drinking three beers. I wasn't drunk, but definitely slightly tipsy. Sure, I drove fine and was extra careful, but what if I had to make a split-second maneuver because of someone else's bad driving or carelessness?

3 drinks in one hour will not get you to 0.08 unless you weigh 100 pounds.

If you think your reaction time may be skewed over the limit or not it is not fair to others on the road to drive that way. I take a cab to a mid day movie on shrooms/rc's in order not to drive.

I used to drive drunk constantly, and a few times I had to make split-second decisions which I pulled off admirably. This is because I drive carefully, whether I'm intoxicated or not.
But yeah, I've been in the tank twice, once under the limit and once over. Both times it was for minor infractions, ie. going through a yellow light slightly too late and speeding on a straight, empty stretch of road at night.

I thought it was always legal to go through a light when it was yellow. What is the infraction? Sometimes it is legal to run a yellow light and sometimes illegal, depending on the officer's mood?
I would have to think that driving drunk slows your reaction time and aptitude though no matter how careful you are.

Well, you can generally compensate for that by driving a certain way. IE very defensively. Since that's how I always drive, I drove pretty safe when I was intoxicated. Some people are morons, who drive absent-mindedly normally, and when you're drunk, absent-minded is psychopathic.

Same here, I was about to say.....
I weight 160 as well, and 3 drinks in an hour would have me lightly buzzed , like pris said at least to the point I know I shouldn't drive. I could, but shouldn't, and don't...
I've always been curious how feeling the effects of alcohol correlates to the actual BAC ....

I do think driving drunk should be dealt with harshly unlike drug possession and use which are not really wrong just illegal. Driving cooked can possible harm others so that is wrong. If they let out the dope users there would be plenty of room for harmful people like habitual DUI offenders and kiddy touchers.

yellow means yield.. you can enter on yellow
i have been pulled over for turning right on a green arrow without yielding though
lol, its up to the cop
and he can always say your plate light was out and it just turned back on. yo uwould have no way of knowing

I know in Ga a .02 can get you a DWI if they determine you're driving unsafely, it holds true in many states

I had two beers and drove with no problem tonight. I have used allot of drugs and 2 or 3 beers really doesn't do any thing. Most certainly not what I consider intoxicated, im sure many can agree.

My step dad is a cop and Ive asked him to bring the alcotest.
0.08 for someone that doesn't drink very often gets him drunk. For regular users (like myself), gets me tipsy.
For hardcore alcoholics, 0.08 is barely noticeable.

my stepfather went a week without drinking, he was pulled over and blew a .32, well over the legal limit at the time which was .12 in Ga, a person can build a tolerance which means the alcohol stays in their system for an extended period and they wouldnt be impaired but by the definition of the law they're still intoxicated
if I had a ,32 BAC I'd be in a coma
