Driving While Intoxicated

On the other hand, I also think it's ridiculous that I can't have 3 drinks in an hour and legally drive.

Your math is off unless you weigh less that 140. 3 drinks in one hour at 140 lbs would leave you at .07. http://www.brad21.org/bac_charts.html

That's a good guide but BAC can vary a lot depending on other variables.

I guess things always vary depending on variables...

But these are the maximums, it can only vary down from there.

So, I didnt something silly a few weeks ago.

Ended up rolling my car, turned a $12000 car into a pile of scrap metal. Blew 0.192 and go to court next week to see whats going to happen.

Let this be a lesson to you all. DUI is the worst idea you will ever have, don't fucking do it.

I feel honestly sorry for you.

I will have to disagree. I get at least 1.5 oz per drink at my regulars and when I do shots they are usually 100 proof.

Just got my first DUI today. This nutty kooz cut me off and in an attempt to avoid slamming into her fender I pulled a hard right and ended up dimpling the corner of her SUV; nothing a hairdryer and a broomstick couldn't fix. But of course she's one of these pregnant soccer mom types so the cops were called in and an investigation was launched. I, having a beer full of in my belly, casually suggested the boys in blue had better crimes to investigate.
The first cop was cool and let me call my friend to drive me home but then Lieutenant Shit-Kicker (a high-school jock who suddenly has no power in adulthood and turns to the police force) arrived out of nowhere and administered a test that I've attempted while undrunk and failed.
Next thing I'm in the cuffs and this jack-ass made several needless high-speed U-turns so the cuffs would dig in my wrists. Back at the station, after blowing a .128 with nary a wobble in my words or steps, Lt. Shit-Kicker told me that if this was the 70s, he would have pulled off the side of the road and kicked the living shit out of me.
I kind of respected him for that!
Now it's buses and bicycles for the next 6 months.

6 months??? You have to be kidding, man. Here in Belgium, two weeks at the max. And, handcuffs? This would never happen here. Come to Belgium, man, we will grant you drunkard's asylumn.

If this was the 70s wouldn't the legal limit be .15 ?

Young Lt. Shit-Stain couldn't have been born later than '79, so his knowledge of 70s police law probably comes from TV. But hey, you're gonna encounter a-holes in life no matter where you are.
And they made some great movies in the 70s. Some great novels, too. I bear no ill will towards young Lt. Shit-Kicker. He's missing out on so much life...I'll be glad to see him in court.

Thanks, amigo. Belgium sounds like the kind of country where a man can go about his business and needn't worry about trifles like having a few beers and picking up a pizza.
My job search starts immediately.
