OP said typical light beers. Those are closer to 3.5% alcohol. Some are 4%. 20-30% less alcohol.

200 pounder shouldn't even feel that.

know I've seen where it's possible to get a DUI even if under the limit, but I'm not sure about that.


Diabetics can blow a false positive when they have a high blood sugar.

It's dangerous because seeing cop lights -> adrenaline rush -> high blood sugar from the adrenaline rush

For me back when I used to drink four beers was a waste of time.

Is this graph saying that I drank all 4 drinks at the same time and immediately had a bac over .08?

Those are merely hydration beers. You’re, or the “200 lb man,” is good to go.

I know a guy who was completely sober and got a DWI. The way I see it, if you gonna have 2 ounces you might as well have 4 beers because you will smell enough for suspension. But learn how to do basic calculations on how much alcohol you’ve had, how much your body removes per hour and bump that up against the legal limit. Legal limit is pretty impaired if you run the experiment. Pound 3 Budweiser beers in 10 minutes and wait 30 minutes.

You should be good, unless you have a metabolic condition.


People metabolize alcohol differently. Size isn't as important a factor as it's believed to be.

Stop trying to justify drinking and driving.

It's legal to drink and drive as long as you don't go over the limit. That's why there's a limit.

Yes, in Tennessee (and other states)

quote:

Multiple Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) troopers have faced scrutiny or resigned following investigations into "sober DUI" arrests where drivers tested negative for substances. Most notably, Trooper Asa Pearl resigned in 2024 after 41 of his DUI arrests in Bedford County were dismissed, many involving sober drivers. [1, 2, 3]


You drink water and be DUI, according to law enforcement.
