Answer 1

You will be fine after a night's sleep. Bailey's is cut quite a bit so the punch as not as hard as the warmth makes you think. But it is harder than wine or beer, so take care!
You're reaction will be tempered by how tired you are, how much you weight, what else you have eaten the day you drink, how much water you have had the day you drink and right after you drink, and how much exercise you have gotten the day you drink. Anything that makes you more thirsty or dehydrated will make drinks affect you more strongly, so always keep that in mind - the same amount that barely got you a buzz most nights can put you under the table if you are stressed, worn out, tired, hungry or even just sunburned!
In the morning you will be fine - but don;t drive tonight unless you are pretty stocky and ate well today.

Answer 2

Well, you sound like a sensible person, and I wouldn't worry about driving to work tomorrow "IF" the 2 Bailys are all you drank tonight. (besides alcohol will not register on breath-alizer accurately after 7 hours I am told)

Cheers, have a good time but don't drink anymore, OK?
I must commend you for "not JUST going to drive home tonight!!!
take care of you

Answer 3

This will depend a lot on your body size, consumption of food
your metabolic rate and the time between your last drink and getting behind the wheel.

If however, 12 hours have elapsed between the drink and driving then you should be fine.

DON'T however take my word for it. Everyone is different and you could still be over the limit in the morning, depending of the above factors.

If you are unsure then don't drive.

Answer 4

If that's all you had to drink all night, and assuming you're getting a decent amount of sleep (meaning you've had a few hours in between to process it), you'll be fine. Just in case, if you're under 21 and drinking, some states have a no tolerance policy that if you have any alcohol in your system, it's a DUI. Honestly, depending on your size, if you drove right after 2 shots, you'd probably be ok anyway. There's a lot of "ifs" that go along with DUI. Good rule of thumb is 1 drink every couple hours and you'll be fine.

Answer 5

For two shots, i beleive you should wait at least 1 1/2 hours before driving for the average female. So if you sleep, at lease 4 hours, you SHOULD be fine. But if you feel even a little impaired, dont drive.

Answer 6

If you had only 2 shots of Baileys and you had some food and a good's night sleep, you should not have any problem. A good nights sleep would have been 5 hours or more. You probably would still have it in your system if you drank more alcohol than that.

Answer 7

your answer is you will be allright in the morning to drive so long that all you had to drink. the best answer if you know your going to drive dont drink at all, drinking is like tag you drink because you see thim doing it so you dont want to be a wimp so you drink say no is a good thing (they even look up to you that a good felling and you dont have to worry about driving any time.

Answer 8

The best rate to go by is one drink per hour.

For a 180 lbs man, if you stay to one drink an hour, you are fine.

There is no such thing as tolerance (only how well you handle alcohol), the only thing that lowers your blood alcohol content is TIME.

Answer 9

the alcohol will be in your blood stream by now but you could just drink a lot of water.

its not a stupid question because last year this women ate a few mince pies and was over the driving limit.. (though it was for the same night not the next day )

Answer 10

2 shots f baileys is nothing....theres only a 17 percent alcohol per volume so therefore..thatyll be out of your system before you even drive home...now if you took more then id say you need to probably sleep it off
