Physics says you should never be under the influence of anything while operating something that weighs as much as cars and move as fast as they do...even 30 MPH. It isn't about the lucky people who make it home, it is about all the extra people who don't make it home.
This from someone who drove home drunk more times than I can even honestly acknowledge (100s) during my 18-22 year old fetish with alcohol. Two DUIs in the same time period were also enough to get me to never do it again, not even one drink. In all those times I never so much as scratched my car, I don't remember getting home at least half the time.
The problem with alcohol is it removes your ability to rationally think about almost everything after even one drink and even if you "feel nothing".

More than 1 drink? Don't drive. that is my rule and the rule all people should follow. One beer or glass of wine is not going to impair enough to cause you to have an accident that would not have happened anyhow.
Anything more than 1 is a slippery slope I do not want to tread.

Koneg pretty much nailed it. However personally while I rarely drink, any drink at all is an absolute no for driving.
If I have had one drink, I do not drive. If anyone else has had one drink, I do not allow them to drive, or at a minimum will not ride with them.

If I've had more than 1 drink I just don't drive. Period.
Which brings up an interesting question:
People go out to dinner all the time. They have a bottle of wine with dinner. They're both now over the legal limit.
The limit is set so low, and alcohol is so demonized in America that every day, just for having a nice dinner with your wife, you can get a DUI.
And yet, couples do it all the time.
My wife and I live in a small town with no taxi service. Thanks to the insane laws in this country, we're supposed to get a designated driver every time we go out to eat? How asinine is that?
Also, I'd like to add that the medical community states that the BAC is a sham because you're not "impaired" at .08 but more like .16.

Dui laws aren't about safety.
They are about oppression and revenue

Honestly I have to be pretty drunk not to drive home, and I've never been so high I wouldn't drive.
I'm not going to try to justify it, and I can't deny any of the risks named. It's just something I do, and I've been doing it for a while.

Right, because if they were really about safety, the cop would administer the breathalyzer and then just shoot the drunk.

1 drink impairs you. You might not think so, or feel so, but it's fact.
