No. How about, don't drive no matter what you drink. What's "safe" by law and what's right are two very different things.

Don't be fooled. The contents of the typical bottle or can of beer, glass of wine, or liquor drink (mixed drink or straight liquor) each contain virtually identical amounts of pure alcohol. When it comes to alcohol, a drink is a drink is a drink and are all the same to a breathalyzer. 31 For more.
Know your limit. If you are not sure, experiment at home with your spouse or some other responsible individual. Explain what you are attempting to learn. Most people find that they can consume one drink per hour without any ill effects. Also, experiment with the Drink Wheel, which is very informative.
Eat food while you drink. Food, especially high protein food such as meat, cheese and peanuts, will help slow the absorption of alcohol into your body.
Sip your drink. If you gulp a drink, you lose the pleasure of savoring its flavors and aromas.
Don't participate in "chugging" contests or other drinking games. 32
Accept a drink only when you really want one. If someone tries to force a drink on you, ask for a non-alcohol beverage instead. If that doesn't work, "lose" your drink by setting it down somewhere and leaving it.
Skip a drink now and then. Having a non-alcoholic drink between alcoholic ones will help keep your blood alcohol content level down, as does spacing out your alcoholic drinks
A good general guideline for most people is to limit
consumption of alcohol beverages to one drink (beer, wine or spirits) per hour.
Keep active; don't just sit around and drink. If you stay active you tend to drink less and to be more aware of any effects alcohol may be having on you.
Beware of unfamiliar drinks. Some drinks, such as zombies and other fruit drinks, can be deceiving as the alcohol content is not detectable. Therefore, it is difficult to space them properly.
Use alcohol carefully in connection with pharmaceuticals. Ask your physician or pharmacist about any precautions or prohibitions and follow any advice received.

1 hour per drink is as long as it takes for alcohol to get out of your system........it does not matter how much you eat! 1 hour per drink. so if you have 3 shots...3 hours, 3 beers...3 hours, ect...it doesnt matter if you feel the effects or not it is never safe to drink and drive

i have gotten in trouble from drinking,.....you don't want to get in trouble from that, the best thing is to never drink if you are going to drive,.....it is cheaper to find someone to drive, or take a taxi,.....trust me on that, i have spent thousands of dollars fighting drunk driving charges,.....i will not drive even if i have had just one drink, it is cheaper having someone else drive for you,.....and when i say thousands, i mean thousands, i have money, but the law will take all you have, if they can, i still have money, but would have much more if i would have taken my own advice,.....
