    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.

      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.
