between drinking a soda or beer, if you are under the legal limit, when you are driving?
Why can't I have a beer when I am driving as long as I am over 21 and under .08% BAC? |

Would you get in a plane if you saw the pilot chugging a Budweiser in the cockpit? Quoted:
Would you get in a plane if you saw the pilot chugging a Budweiser in the cockpit? Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) 91.17

Quoted:
Legal drinking and driving would make prosecuting DUI cases more difficult. People could claim they just chugged a 5th right before they were pulled over but it wasn't absorbed until they did a breathalizer an hour later. That already happens. You can refuse all day long and wait for the blood test and they can't "prove" what your BAC was when you where driving. |

Quoted:
Would you get in a plane if you saw the pilot chugging a Budweiser in the cockpit? Sure. Dude likes to party. And that's why we have Copilots. Of course since he's making bank as a pilot I'd expect something better than the flavored water which is Budweiser. Maybe a Heineken. |

Quoted: Yup. You could drink beer at 19 too. Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: It used to be like up until the early '80s around here until they made it against the law. The legal limit was up around 0.15 too. Nope. Yup. You could drink beer at 19 too. |

Quoted:
How much of a raging alcoholic do you have to be if you can't wait till you get home? Some people actually just enjoy the taste of beer - doesn't mean you're drinking it to get drunk... Health-wise, one beer is probably better for you than a 20oz bottle of brown HFCS |

I remember sharing a beer with my dad while out fishing. He would stop me after one 7 oz. beer and say "when you're 19 you can drink as many beers as you want." They changed the law to 21 by the time I turned 19.
