Assuming an average body weight and metabolism but yea 1 beer = .02
It’s pretty simple to have a couple beers and not exceed any of the current laws.
If you’re going to be out pounding shots or double redbull vodkas maybe you shouldn’t fucking drive? lol
Yeah it’s true. And, no, technically you can’t have 4 beers an hour and drive. You people are aware that you can currently get a dwai (driving while ability impaired) if you blow .05-.07, right? Right?
And if you guys didn’t know .05 BAC to .07 BAC is a DWAI in NY
Driving while almost Impaired?
OK, let’s clarify.
For the first hour that I am drinking, I can have 4 beers and I will be at .08. For every beer thereafter, I need to wait an hour, to get back down to .08?
So with the current implementation:
.00-.04 = Legal
.05-.07 = DWAI
.08+ = DWI
New Law:
.00-.04 = Legal
.05-.08 = DWI
So with the new law, you can have 2.5 beers in the first hour of drinking. For every drink thereafter, you need to wait an hour to drive.
Driving While Ability Impaired. Yes, I did know that but for the sake of the numbers everyone was throwing around, BAC calculation needed to be clarified.
Look at the post before his
I guess I didn’t know these numbers, but I generally never go out drinking and drive home. I barely even drink as it is.
.08 for me is 4 beers …
.05 would be a lot less than that. And I dont think I’m all too impaired with a couple beers (if at all)
If i drink 4 beers over an hour, and breathalyze at 60 minutes, I’m at .06 consistently. I bet I could pass any sobriety test at that level too. I disagree with this proposal

Damnit… board junky beat me to it.
There was sarcasm in my original post
Agreed two beers is like a casual drink. Sorry 2.5 beers.
Fuck I need a beer
If they were serious about reducing deaths, they would get serious about DWI related penalties.
As it stands its a cash cow for the govt that does little other than hit someones pocket. This sounds like more of the same.
I suck…:pat:
I will probably be a .05 after lunch. lol
I’m about to get .05’ed when leave work today.
WIN!
I think the line for people is blurred about what casual drinking is VS binge drinking at a bar.
I hope pun was intended here…
I have a career and stuff…
It way easier to call a friend or get a cab home no need to drive.
But in all seriousness, could you hit .05, feel fine, and drive home thinking you’re as right as rain?
I don’t really drink anymore if I had 3 beers in a hour I might feel it
