[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just don’t like the idea of drinking and driving.[/quote] This is how so many middle age 30 & 40 somethings catch their first DUI charges. They don't picture "too tipsy to drive" as having a few glasses of wine at a bday party. Or an afternoon at a winery. I work in the court system in my county that deals with first DUI offenses. I hear the same story over and over..."I had two glasses of wine at dinner." "I had a couple of beers watching the game." but people fail to realize that their body changes as they get older and the alcohol metabolizes differently. Two beers at 22 is different than 2 beers at 38, especially now that higher BAC beers are popular. Most of these people also come in with low-level BACs, like 0.09-0.11. Some of them even pass the roadside sobriety tests because they're simply tipsy, but tipsy driving is drunk driving. [/quote]
