Confessions of a drunk driver

I've not tried Tito's. I am a fan of Absolut. I've had that on the rocks and love it. Anything top shelf makes a world of difference. I've tried Knob's Creek at your suggestion and will give Tito's a try. When I drink vodka I usually do it as a mixed "Best Damn Bloody Mary Evar." Which really doesn't lead to nuance of vodka. However, a dirty martini tends to establish the vodka base. So perhaps a Tito's, dirty, with shaved ice is in my future this week.

I think you will be pleased with both of those made with Tito's.

I had moved on from Absolut, to Grey Goose to Ketel One and Tito's surpasses them all, I think.
 
I'm glad someone bumped one of these threads, actually. I thought of you all while driving this morning.

There are always those who argue that 0.08 is obviously drunk. You're past that limit, and you deserve to go to jail or at least lose your license. You are automatically unable to drive.

Strange, though, that I don't recall anyone arguing that 0.05 was any of those things. Now that the "recommendation" is to lower the BAC to that level, what about it? Were people driving drunk all this time and we were just too fixated on the super-flimsy limit to capture them? Doesn't this just strengthen the argument that pulling someone over should be based on what they are doing (ie - how they are driving, etc.) rather than checkpoints or suspicions?

There is another alternative :D

Guy comes out of a bar at closing time.
The cops are out in force across the street, just waiting...
He staggers over to his car, hops in, squeals out of the parking lot and and is swerving all over the road.
Cops are on him like flies on sh*t...
They tell him to get out and do a sobriety test.
He passes it perfectly...
Cop says: "What's going on here?"
Guy says: "I'm the designated decoy! - All my friends went THAT way!"

Did you get the ladders back?

DC lowered it's BAC to determined when you were legally drunk. Now you are legally intoxicated after one and a half glasses of wine or shots or beers.

Who goes out to dinner and just drinks one glass of wine or a bar and just drinks one beer?

Hay bartender - gimme a shot of whiskey and a shirly temple...

Never retrieved those ladders. Yeah I shouldn't have been driving that night, and I shouldn't have gone to jail that night either, from hearing stories from those older before the whole DUI system took place in this country. Cost alot of damn money, more money than most people have in their retirement accounts today from what I read, that means if your an average American worker or non worker, than you go straight to jail get released and will then at sentencing go back to jail since you won't be able to pay the fines, and won't have the money for a lawyer.

The cops used to just tell you to pull it over or go up the road and get some coffee from what I've been told. It cost me alot of loot, and stress, and time lost. Now that night wasn't the norm, there was emotions mixed in there with a sudden departure. Normally I'm a professional when I go out and the key is to stick with good liquors, good beers, and stay hydrated. Yep we all fuck up and thats life, and anyone who thinks different is living a boring ass life.

BAC to the .05 bac discussion: After getting rid of smoking in most bars and restaurants, they took the fun out for some, left the non-fun for the rest. Now with the current bac of .08, which is ridiculously low, leaving many to sacrifice drinking at all when going out, in fear of a bac number, few can be completely confident in, if put to the test. The results thus far, have been less than steller times for many going out for the night, due to having to take precariously energy reducing, stress inducing precautions such as who will drive and possibly get the DUI tonight(like a lottery system), or do we know anyone Amish who doesn't drink yet will drive us later.

Fewer drink, more smoke weed, maybe not due to the more stringent laws, who knows, but fewer are going out and having a good time, and those that do, have a lesser time with the thoughts of cops out there looking around the corner, watching you leave a parking lot. Weed is good too, but people don't go out to smoke weed, so I'm wondering if the police state is punishing smoking cigs and drinking alcohol in public, to keep people from socializing as much as should take place.

Now with the .05 Bac, altoids, mouthwash, rubbing alcohol absorbed in the skin, a hangover from the night before, could trigger a DUI for the masses now. A friend of mine got a DUI at noon on a Sunday, from drinking the night before. He was driving fine, just speeding, and that's the key here, you don't have to be doing anything wrong to trigger a possible DUI, beside just driving out there on the roads.

So in the near future, as people go out, their night will be one that is made of food, no smoking, no cigars, no drinking, just food, and still the possiblity of getting pulled over and a fine for something. Sounds like a night out at a church. Doesn't sound like a place of fun or that I want to spend my days in. Sounds like a society of robots.

Yes, yes it does, which is why MADD, for one, doesn't support the rule, yet.

They have to manufacture some way to spin the obvious that you just pointed out.

Give them a few weeks to get their shit together, line up the propaganda lies, and they'll be all for it.

Wow, there's a conspiracy for you...would not surprise me at all.

Especially when you consider how many revolutions have been plotted in taverns and pubs and over drinks.

And, at least for right now, face to face communications are tough for the system to monitor, if you take a few precautions.

Not so for all the communications that go on while we hide behind our curtains, huddling in the house, hoping to be left alone for one more day.

FTFY. :D

As far as the shine goes it depends. Sometimes we call it "Thunder Head" for the storm in the noggin the following day. Depending on how it's made it can be good or bad. Same as store bought. Some is straight corn others, depending on corn price, go to fruit. I've had both and almost always cut it with water.

The secret to avoiding a hangover is water. You should plan on drinking twice as much water as alcohol in terms of regular beer either while you're drinking or some time that same night before you go to bed.

You're hitting the nail on the head harder than I think even you know.

I see college has served you well. :D JK. That and Vitamin C. The last drink I take of the evening is usually about 16 oz. water mixed with dissolvable C. I never take acetaminophen or the like. That is just accelerated liver damage. Water IS a good thing. Cheers!

I say, sing "the star spangled banner" or "The Anacreontic Song" and it's all good. (rumor has it that the tune was used as a gauge of drunkenness in the 18th century...not being able to sing it meant one is too drunk to be served again)
