Only ever drive if I've had only a couple. Ie, 2 in 1st hr then 1 every hr after and only if I feel ok. Worked in operating theatres for 10 years & patching up accident victims wears pretty thing after a while.

I drove my old SS thru a no thru road coz I was pissed. its a pity that sometimes it takes something like that to make u realise. but if i didnt do that I wouldn't have me Jeep How about out in the sticks? Like if you were camping out bush? I know lots of tools that have got stuck in a "puddle" when pissed but go back the next day to pull em out and theres a pootrol at the bottom of a dam!

I must admit 20 yrs ago I used to, you'd go to party drink heaps and drive the car "just round the corner" to get home, everybody did it without even thinking twice about. Looking back at it now, Bloody Idiot...Now if I'm driving, nothing, won't even have one, if I'm having a drink, I take a cab, or get a lift.

Life is too important, especially someone elses life.

I havn't had a sip of alcohol since my wedding, about a year and a half ago. Must be something to do with the fact i've discovered i'm a celiac and am allergic to beer

I got done drink driving. Blew 0.1 and then 0.07 at the station.
Didn't really think about drink driving before but now I don't drink any alcohol at all if I don't have a driver.

Was VERY lucky to get a second chance and not lose my licence or get a criminal conviction (yes, drink driving is a criminial offence).

I voted "If I've had a couple" as I have in the past had 1 beer after work and then driven home, but I have also tested my BAC on a calibrated tester and I know I can have 2 beers in 2 hours and still be under .02, which is the limit for our site.

But luckily for me my wife doesn't drink at all so if we're going out I also have a designated driver

Yea i couldnt believe that either. The body is supposed to be able to process 1 standard drink an hour. That one beer must have been a darwin stubby unless he was on medication as well lol
