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.



You're totally wrong on the science and how about just not drinking a full bottle of wine with dinner? A glass each isn't enough for you? Then find some other way to get home.


The "it's so unfair I can't get drunk and drive! what am I supposed to do?" is like the most embarassing, douchetastic argument ever.

I almost always know about what my bac is when I'm drinking. It's not like it's some kind of arcane secret knowledge or anything.

If I chug down a 5-6% beer, it's no driving for the rest of the night.
Even if I'm tehnically OK 1-2 hours later.

Maaaybe a small glass of wine, then I'll drive later.

But public transportation is so damn awesome and affordable here I don't have to consider driving if I'm even thinking of downing alcohol.
