0.15% is not that high, about 3 beers. Edit: wrong, it’s probably like 5 all at once depending on body weight
I just wanted to read the article to see what he did that got him this sentence.
in Europe people are vehemently against you driving after any amount of alcohol at all. even a half pint of 3% beer.
Europe also has public transit nearly everywhere, so there are actual alternatives.
If you would get in a car and drive after three beers, you’re a piece of shit.
The other person makes a good point if I were to pound three Bud Heavies in an hour, and try to drive that would be very bad but if somebody habitually drinks, it may not make them drunk or impaired.
I don’t think that they should raise the limit, but harm reduction principles would suggest that the penalty for a non-violent offence shouldn’t be 10/years in a for profit prison working for slave wages.
Back when I was drinking, 3 beers wouldn’t even get me buzzed. I could shotgun a 6 pack of tallboys and still pass any field sobriety test.
The quantity of alcohol needed to be impaired is very subjective.
but not a breathalyser
Right, but BAC alone isn’t enough to judge impairment. Tolerance is a very real thing.
No it’s not though. You may not feel the buzz that you are chasing, but the actual impairment is still real and in place. You may think you’re fine, but your not. That’s one. And two, once you’ve had 3, your more likely to have more. And if your willing to drive with 3 when you’re sober, you’re Likely to drive with 6 when you’re drunk. Every drunk driver who ever got behind the wheel thought they were fine. Even the ones who had accidents.
I don’t think you understand what drug tolerance is.
No, I think you don’t. Even in people with high tolerance, low levels of alcohol still impare motor skills, reaction time and inhibitions.
A drug tolerance is when your body builds up a resistance to a substance to the point where more is required to produce the same effect. This includes side effects like impairment.

First of all, that was over 20 years ago, 2nd it would give away my location, and third, you can look up any state 3rd dui offense charges, and they are all going to be similar.
Regular strength beer .15 is about 4. One drink, glass of wine, shot, or regular beer; is .04. You take the time you started drinking, then for every hour you have been drinking subtract one drink from the total and multiply times .04. If you had 6 at a bar, and started two hours ago, you would have 4 in your system at .16. Obviously good beer tends to be stronger, about double what is considered normal, like two hearted ipa from bell’s or sierra nevada or something.
I’m not sure you meant to reply to me since I’m not the same person who criticized what you wrote.
I looked at a chart and it says a 100 lb person would have 0.04% BAC after one drink. If you’re 180-200 lbs one drink is 0.02% BAC
.04 is about one drink, for a normal sized person, and it leaves your system at about .04/hour. As I explained, to calculate if you are legal you add your drinks, respective of strength, obvioulsy my 7.6% ale is 2 if regular beer is 1, and subtract a drink for every hour you have been drinking, and then mulitply times .04. Bars should have breathalyzers in them to give you an idea. Charge a quarter a go.
California DMV shows one drink as .03% so about what you’re saying. I was looking at this chart on Forbes and it has to be completely wrong https://www.forbes.com/advisor/legal/dui/blood-alcohol-level-chart/
Oh idk, I had to pay for court ordered substance abuse classes as I got alchohol related charges before I was 21, and one they taught us the alcohol thing to calculate if you are legal to drive, the only useful thing I got out of those parasites.
