I don't believe that its so much we're trying to figure out how to drink and then drive. I know for myself its out of correcting a belief of the law that is incorrect. As for your don't get in vehicle after drinking a single beer its my exact philosophy that I've had all my life. I refuse to drink a single beer and drive. I believe the last time I drank and then drove it was at least 8 hours between. I walked home and walked to pick my vehicle up the next day.
2 beers, on day off, in personal car = fired

Injun I don't think you read the thread in it's entirety.
The question never had anything to do with drinking and driving, it was about the law not being clear.
To simply lay down more rules because the law is not clear is how freedoms are taken away.
So you just give up?? I don't care if you don't drink, it's not about drinking. Don't you feel you should have a clear understanding of what the limits are at all times? That is like saying there is no need to understand gun laws because you will never own a gun. You are giving away your fundamental right to have a legal system that all citizens are able to abide by and understand. In effect you are giving all authority to law enforcement or government and in the bigger picture destroying the concept of innocent before proven guilty. When citizens become complacent and just do whatever they are told regardless of what rights they are supposed to have, you just gave away all your rights. I do hope you can agree with the final sentence in this post, if you do then you can see the ramifications of the issue addressed in this thread. If not, the country is in it deeper than I thought. lol
That was what I was posting about and everyone assumed I was trying to figure how much a person can drink and still drive. The question is on the law and the fact it is not clear. It is the responsibility of government that the law can be understood and interpreted by it's citizens. They make #### sure we all know what's supposed to happen on April 15 every year.
Even in the end of this discussion it has been settled with the term "officer's discretion". I do not agree with this when it can have such a serious impact on a person's career unless of course officers can not make a mistake ever. If they are gonna play it this way I think it is just safer and easier to say a number that must be obeyed 24 hours a day. 0.04 at all times, just for the sake of clarity. Like I said cough syrup can do that, but like someone else pointed out on the matter of tolerance half a beer can inhibit some people. I really see both sides and understand now why it is a grey area. All I gotta say is thank god that rape, theft and murder allegations are not handled at officer's discretion!
