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.). |
Yes, and No. You are absolutely right that it depends on body weight, condition, food, age....and many things more. Also a lot of elderly people take medications which affect the driving ability as well. The problem is, no one says I could be too drunk. Everybody is under the impression, I can still drive, i feel good.

I am a much better mix, I am a LEO and my wife sells beer.

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.

Good choice.

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.

And this is up to the LEO. He have the right to do it and it is his or her decision if they let you go. So be nice to all law enforcement officers and make sure, they get a pay raise.
