I've used the ones they used to have in bars. While I admit they are not accurate, it took substantially more than 3 drinks for me to blow over .08. At that point I felt pretty loaded.

Gawd forbid they are caught smoking too!

Oh the humanity!!


I think it's still not enough as well.

....On a side note, I wonder how many emploers will be forced to "let people go" because driving is their job or at least part of their job.

I'm sure this will prove devestating for many B.C ers,,,,,Oh Well.

People just need to drink more, not less. That way you'd be so drunk you will have no hope of ever finding your car.

Just because they provide parking does not mean you have to drive it home. Leave the car in that big parking lot over night.

Are you saying one can't take out his hottie for dinner and have 2 glasses of wine without taking a cab?

Ridiculous.

What they are really telling us is that we should just smoke more pot.

Who cares about them? It's the people they run over who matter.

I see another CP "You're wasted after the first drop" alcohol debate.
Gotta love the people who are convinced that one beer plus driving home from the pub equals dead women and children.

You could do that. But then you would have to get a ride the next day to pick up your car. Or walk there. But I guess driving there is just too damn irresistible? And then there's the possibility of something bad happening to you car in the lot, I mean a bunch of drunks around is not going to help.

Let's be honest, when you drive somewhere you have the full expectation of driving home, 9 times out of 10.

If someone runs over people because they have a .05 BAC rate they shouldn't even get behind the wheel sober.

If someone runs a person over because of 2 glasses of wine, then they should not only not be allowed to drink and drive, they should also not be allowed to drink, period.
