Agreed. Much to media hype indeed.
I don't do it anymore because the laws in my province have stiffened SO bad to the point the cops can play judge and jury. Even if you blow a 0.01% they can give you a 24 hour, impound your vehicle and make you pay points off your license, if they "feel" you aren't safe to drive. This is being appealed as we speak. But because of the huge increase in people getting fucked over and having their licenses taken away, I don't drive drunk.
I did a solid 10 years of it though, multiple times a week. It's shmeh. The smear campaigns are the exact same ones that target all your precious drugs you all whine about so much. It's mostly propoganda.
If I feel fine to drive and I know I'm in good shape, I'm going to do it. Well that was my mentality back in the day when the laws were more lax anyhow. I have avoided accidents with dumbass old people that shouldn't be driving while under the influence of alcohol.

Even with a BAC of .15 people only have crashes an average of every 2,000 miles. It's very rare to get into an accident even while drunk. That doesn't mean it's a good idea. It does mean that you don't have a very good handle on exactly how risky your actions are. People aren't capable of really understanding such odds.

What's the average when sober? And what's the average for say .08?

I've driven drunk. There were times when I thought 'hey, no big deal' and times where I could barely keep my eyes open and on the road. That line between 'I'm cool' and 'Eye'mah cuhoool bra' is blurry to say the least. Thing is, even when you've had just a couple beers, it's still no fun. I'm always worried about a checkpoint, or someone else doing something stupid and getting fucked over. So I skip the whole thing and just ride my bike to the bar. I can get as smashed as I want and still be able to ride in a straight (enough) line to make it home.
Good luck OP!

I've driven drunk over 1,000 times and I've yet to get into an accident. Just make sure to be the least drunk person of the road. Where I am from is different though, only certain towns try to nail drunks. Too many alcoholics near me to get all of them.

It only takes once.. My aunt didn't make a habit of doing it and ended up T-boning some family and killing (at least one of) them. No priors. She did 15 years in prison for manslaughter. The psychological damage she suffered (not to mention the physical damage) is for life though..
You get in a wreck and it doesn't matter who is at fault if you're drunk. You will be liable.

I am actually having real trouble finding where I got that statistic from. I suspect I may have derived it from other data. Here is some relevant stuff though:
http://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/arh27-1/63-78.htm
Even having a single drink triples your risk of getting into a fatal accident.

I've been stopped by the sheriff on my bike, pretty recently too. I was shitfaced, though not falling down drunk, but he had to know. He stopped me because I blew through a stop sign, and was going so fast he thought I was running from him He checked my ID, I shot the shit with him a little and asked how fast I was going, he let me go on my way. Try doing all that drunk in a car. You'd have to be a real shitshow hitting cars or falling over to get a BUI.

The same thing can happen if you are stoned and I know enough people here do that as well. I try not to make a habit of it, but more so out of fear of a DUI than fear of an accident.

I think driving while high is stupid as well.. I know I'm in the minority about that here.
I've never supported the "everyone else does it so it must be okay" mindset... Doesn't matter if everyone is high while driving, I still say it's dangerous. Maybe I'm just a special kind of person and smoking weed doesn't slow everyone else down, although I highly doubt it, but anything that impairs my ability to think clearly and react fast cannot be good for something as inherently dangerous as driving.
I'm the same way about driving while very tired/sleepy and texting while driving.. I see them all as dangerous and unnecessary. If someone is finding any of it nessecary then that someone needs to plan ahead better.. More time to sober up/sleep or pull over to text if it's that important.
Don't even get me started on that "smoking makes me a better driver" shit either.. That's the same thing stumbling drunks say. It most certainly doesn't make them a better driver, they just don't notice all the mistakes they're making.
