Darin, i respect your thought on the drinks and driving and respect the way you approached it as well. I no longer drink and drive in an illegal fashion (wish i could claim i never had, but that would be a lie from my younger days), but i do not agree that having a beer (or two) or glass of wine with dinner makes you unable to drive and the law currently doesn't think so either. Basically i try to follow the law and my own morals which are usually much tougher than the law (but not always).
Not sure if any of you have ever had a chance to do this, but i was fortunant once that at a bar they sponsored a police campaign to show who was over the limit and who was not (breath test right in the bar). Frankly the .08 is really hard to get to if you are not just pounding them down. I am a BIG guy, but i had several beers in an hour and a half, and did not blow a .08.
by the way they stopped this campaign because some idiots figured that since the had 3 beers an an hour and did not blow a .08 they could have 3 beers every hour for 4 hours and still drive not taking into account what they ate, etc. needless to say once they got arressted the police figured the benefit of education only helps those that are capable of actually learning.
