there have been a few times where i felt i could've exercised better judgement. i have never taken the wheel if i find myself stumbling or even sluggish in the eyes. always was alert enough to walk in a straight line. problem is i don't know what .08 feels like, and with my height and body weight ...6.2 @ 220, im not sure how much of that would impact me.
i always drink water when having drinks. and stay away from shots, particularly when i know i have keys in my hand. and im soft i won't lie i don't do the whiskey or bourbon neat or on the rocks. o well. also i've gotten drunk on an empty stomach before so i usually combine eating a full meal if i consume alcohol. it slows down absorption and also limits how much i can drink. if i eat and get full, its kind of impossible to go reckless with a lot of alcohol, prolly hurt myself.
these days i drink in moderation, and opt for public transportation when i can. my go to drink is an IPA. for mixed, i go whiskey ginger, but honestly, to get drunk of that you'd have to drink a lot, cuz its mostly ice and ginger ale...and im not about to down ALL that soda to get a buzz.
