That's pretty much it right there ... it's not really worth drinking at all if you're going to drive home. Can't say I disagree.
It doesn't mention this in the article but another huge thing is drivers who are suspended won't be able to drive while they appeal the suspension (usually takes 21 days), as they could previously.
To give you an idea of .08 or higher (at least what the newspaper said) is a 120lb women could have one daiquiri, or, a 180lb guy drinking 3 pints of beer within a 2 hour period.[/QUOTE]
