There are no set amount of drinks. It is the amount of alcohol in your blood & because no two people are affected exactly the same, it might be that half a glass of wine or beer might make one person over the limit whereas it might take another person two, three or more glasses.
It depends on weight, frame of mind, how much & often you usually drink & things like that. The best way to avoid drink driving is if you have had a drink..............then don't drive.
Walking home might take a while but it's better than the possiblity of taking a life/lives.

Where I live (Canada), its .080. That works out to just over 2 bottles of beer (or 1 1/2 pints). However, it also depends on the time period in which you drink. On average, the body processes 1 drink/hour. So if you drink 3 beers in 2 hours, you're probably OK (legally speaking). However, everyone handles alcohol differently. The best option is to not drive at all if you've been drinking.

In Manitoba, the legal limits are as follows...
.08 classified as impaired. Lose license and possible jail term if involved in accident...Manslaughter charge if someone killed....We have no sense of humour with A**H**** who drink and drive.
At .05, the police will suspend your driver's license for 24 hours...no judge required.
New drivers are ZERO tolerance, I believe for the first 2 years. Any evidence of alcohol, within the first 2 years, and you walk for a year.
Manitoba probably has the toughest laws on the continent, against drinking and driving.

There is no reliable guide, to quantity. Driving performance changes with alcohol consumption, one friend rode his motorbike much better after about 9 pints, others are much worse after 1 pint. I stick to Coca Cola.

I ain't sure but I usually have 1 pint of Carling/Carlsberg or I have 1 bottle of WKD or VK. If staying out longer then I drink water, buying non-alcohol costs more than alcohol.

the legal is 30 units. but even one alcoholic drink can impair your reactions. So better safe than sorry. because it's not only the drinkers life at risk it is all those unaware that they are under the influence. think be for you drink be for you drive is the motto.

alchohol dulls your senses and slows your reaction times down, some people even make the mistake of thinking they're better drivers when they've had a drink. Better not to drink anything if your gonna drive, although the legal limits are-
35microgrammes of alchohol in 100mil of breath
80milligrammes of alchohol in 100mil of blood
107milligrammes of alchohol in 100mil of urine

It depends on your body fat, muscular build, metabolism, and a number of other factors that determine how much alcohol stays in your blood at any given point in time. The more frequently you drink, your body becomes more accustomed to metabolizing alcohol and you can drink more and have a lower BAC content.
The state legal limit in most states is .08. For most men, this means three beers and for women it varies between one to three.

.08 blood alcohol content in most states, which is not much. You're right, if you must drink at all, don't put your and other peoples lives in danger by getting behind the wheel.
