    I won't drive drunk but I do understand how fast alcohol is typically burned and my body is a little faster than the generally accepted number.

    One drink = .02
    One drink is burned off each hour.
    .08 is the legal limit in wisconsin.

    Lets say I drink 7 drinks over a 3 hour span.

    I have .14 of alcohol in my body but I've also burned .06 over 3 hours so I should be right around .08. I will jump in the car and drive at that level. If the cops pull me over, I'll hope the don't notice I've been drinking if they do make me blow, I'll blow below a .08 anyway because my body is slightly faster than .02 per hour anyway. I hope that made sense. That's what I do.

    One time, I was at a couple bars with a friend. WE were out from 10 till 2. I think I had 8 beers over 4 hours. My friend insisted I had 8 beers and was over the limit. I explained to him the equation that I learned at DARE and he was like whatever, your not driving. I was like "fuk U, I'm driving". Anyway.....8 * .02 = .16 but you then subtract .02 * 4 (hours) = .08.........So, .16 (consumed) - .08 (burned) = .08 (legal limit in wisconsin). I saw a cop outside the bar so I asked if I could blow a breathalizer to insure I was OK to drive. I was at .06. I was legal and I drove. I didn't really need to prove it to myself. For some reason I just trusted teh damn equation but now my frined belives in taht equation and uses it too. Just make sure you know how many shots are in each drink. If your getting doubles, don't make the mistake of calling it 1. I keep track of everything I put into my body anyway sot this works for me. If you just drink and don't count, it won't work...

    like I said, over 3 hours you can drink 7 beers and who the hell needs mroe than that? If you're a small woman or have a bad liver it might not work for you, you might need to tweak it but for me it works masterfully.

      Oh yeah, you can't drink 7 beers every 3 hours consecutively.....


      6 hours = .12 burned
      14 drinks = .28 consumed

      If you drink at that rate for 6 hours strait you'll be .16 and way too damn drunk to drive and you'll never get away with it. I presume everyone understands the equation. It's fairly simple, but if you don't think you fully understand the concept then don't fuking try it.

        Unless its different over there I dont think you even have to blow a .08 to get a DUI. If the officer does his sobriety test and decides you arent able to drive you can still get busted with a lesser amount of alchohol in your blood.

        Is it the same in WI?

          I tried in vain to disprove that many times in college.

            No, lol. I was talking about my 20's and when I said forever after, I meant throughout my early 20's.

            That was a very long time ago, believe me.

              I believe in most states if you are observed driving erratically, pulled over, and blow a .06 you can be arrested for unsafe driving on the basis of driving while impaired. It probably is less severe than a flat-out DUI/DWI conviction. Any attorneys care to comment?

                How does alchohol content figure into your equation? It varies from 3.2% to over 10.

                  I think he was referring just to microbrews, which are are in the middle single digits.

                          3.2 in the grocery stores. You can get regular beer in the state liquor stores.

                            Same as Minnesota then.

                              Minnesota is a 3.2 state?????

                              Hard to believe.

                                Yup. 3.2 in grocery stores and I believe at sporting events too. I think you need to have a permit to sell real beer at an event. I know they were selling real Summitt oatmeal stout and the Irish fair this summer, which was unusual.
