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

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

i have heard that sometimes hardcore alcoholics can seem very drunk after quite a small amount of alcohol, or completely sober after a huge amount of alcohol. i wonder why that is.

so according to the metric cited earlier by Patal, that would be somewhere around 15 drinks in an hour. It seems possible I guess. definitely couldn't do more than lay on the floor though and pray with my glimmer of consciousness that i will not die.

Most behaviors associated with drunkenness actually stem from psychosomatic effects created by the drinker's own expectations. For example, studies have been done which show that people given a placebo alcoholic beverage become just as chatty and sociable as people who are given a real one.

If you can't think clearly you can't drive safely. One time I ate some shrooms, drove to a park completely normal and then the shrooms kicked in.. I tried to get out of the parking lot but I had this hallucination that I infinitely kept turning the steering wheel to the right lol and I knew I wouldn't get very far so I parked my car and my friend and I waited for someone to pick us up. It definitely wasn't a good decision. My scale sucks though and I thought I had taken way less than I actually had. Driving on any amount of shrooms is a bad idea. Sorry for rambling but ultimately driving intoxicated is a bad idea period. And it's a good thing I learned that before anybody got hurt. For alcohol I'd say 3 beers should be max for people who are habitual drinkers. Those who get drunk easily should have 1 at max. If you can't think straight, you're putting yourself and others in danger when you get behind the wheel.

Jesus Christ. This guy was a super hard alcoholic though, he'd come in at 9 AM looking all tweaked-out asking me for a glass of vodka. It kind of put the fear of the alcoholism in me.

I argued it with a cop once, he said there was no way someone could blow a .30+, we started googling it and that high of a BAC isnt uncommon for an alcoholic, what I found shocking was that one of the highest ever recorded with a living person was a .95 BAC

i have seen footage of that study or one like it, but it doesn't prove you statement. you could say that everything physiological affects the mind, and is therefore psychosomatic...but i don't buy into a constructivist viewpoint on drugs. each chemical has a molecular structure rooted in objectivity. the expectations build on that objective foundation.

True talk. Law is law. Im not a big fan of alcohol by all means (does not mean I do not use it threw out the week, I do).
I like to get high and fly when I can or use no substances at all before driving. Its always the better option. hehehehe

Well, if you should be arrested I'll be in the tank with you. I had 3 beers before I went home and I'm fine. I've got a hefty tolerance to downers though and I stick to side roads and drive very defensively pretty much all the time. Downing some H2O and eating some food as we speak to absorb tha booze. Drink responsibly kids.

pshhhh an expensive product. Some yo yo was trying to sell a bar for $4. Shit was in in a form of 4 pills. Rip off. I gave up and have not searched for the junk since. My only current intentions with Xanax has always been to kill a trip for a good nights sleep 
I have abused the stuff in the past, and my god.. I would not want to drive on it...

Ha I'm just poking fun at people's general attitude toward prescription drugs. If it has a pretty name people don't seem to be afraid of it. It bugs me that most people really have no fucking clue what they're ingesting. It's either that, or more frightening to me and probably more to the point, they just don't care.

I know some people can handle alcohol well but at some point you definitely have impairment of your driving abilities and I definitely think there should be strong penalties for that, whether you feel drunk or not. On the other hand, I don't really care as long as your not endangering other people... (driving into a tree or something) I just think that when you are taking someone else's life into your own hands there needs to be major ramifications.
