With all due respect you need to read some science. According to the chart in my link it would take me 4 drinks in the first hour to reach the limit (i.e. the body generally removes about 1 drink per hour from the system as specified in the article and I weigh about 200lbs).

I found a good primer on the subject: http://chavesdwiprogram.us/pdf/Effec...toxication.pdf

But I'm not here to say that any level of drinking and driving is OK. I understand that any amount of alcohol can have different effects on different people (weight, age, food consumption, past damage etc.). Heck, I am a Registered Nurse.

In the future I'll let my non-drinking wife drive the golf cart home, even though I seldom have more than 1 drink at the squares. Even the AMA says you could benefit from 1 glass of wine per day

Again - this thread is about whether they should give citations to people sitting in carts at the square - not whether they should drive home or not. We ALL understand you shouldn't drink and drive.
