Is it ok to enjoy a few drinks when driving?
I saw someone posted a few days ago that they can't control themselves when drinking and some people replied that they don't drink at all when visiting the strip club. I like to have 1-3 drinks, preferably beer because its harder to get drunk off of, to loosen up and not be socially awkward. I can drive just fine after and I remember everything. Is it so bad to have a few when driving?
Got something to say?

Staying sober at a club lets me personally enjoy things to the fullest, whereas the drunken buzz is just less real I guess. As to how many is too many that is an individual thing, body weight, how much you ate before, how quickly you drink the drinks, that all factors in.
Now 3 craft / IPA type beers could be a problem. They have a much higher alcohol content.
If you think that next drink might put you over the edge, it'll put you way over it.
If you can't control yourself, swear it off entirely, and seek help.
Responsible and Experienced Tusclers Advocating for Reliable Driving Sobriety (RETARDS).
Everyone please thank the RETARDS for this valuable and timeless reminder of our responsibility to ourselves and to those who share our roadways. 😀
i happen to agree with u on this one. a little alcohol in ur system really makes u pay attention to the road
if driving drunk was so bad then i am certain that the sheriff of cousinlover county where rick lives in north florida would have caught mr dugan by now. but we know rick is still posting here and i attribute that to the fact that the endless drinking losens mr dugan up so he can give the sheriff the slip
mr dugan i hope u dont mind that i have reaveled that u live in cousinlover county but since u have stated that u live in east bumfuck florida and most tuscl poster know that east bumfuck is the seat of cousinlover county i thought u would be ok with it
Enjoying a few drinks when driving implies you are drinking when driving - not drinking and then driving.
Depending on the length of time spent in a club - and your body size - possibly two drinks should be fine. More than two can lead to buzzed driving - which is not ok.
If you are drinking when you are driving - that’s never acceptable. An open container is not a good thing.
mr dugan comes from a long line of wife-cheating children-deceiving drunk-driving moralists because thats how they roll in north florida.
well at least thats how they roll in east bumfuck florida. i have heard that some other parts of florida are downright civilized
A: Only if they weren't brother and sister.
You RETARDS are really performing a valuable public service. After all, where do you place a needle exchange, in a leafy suburb like mine nestled in the education epicenter of the state or in a slum in Miami? The slum of course! What better place than a strip club customer site to promote the virtues of sobriety, abstinence and other cleaning living? Cause after all, even if others misinterpret it as self congratulatory virtue signaling, you know the altruistic truth of your intentions and that's all that matters. Keep up the good work. 😀
At least when your wife finds out what you're doing and leaves you, your church excommunicates you, and your kids move in with stepdad and call him "daddy," you'll have something to fall back on.
Just make it a one car OUI and don't make too much of a mess.
or two at the club you should be able to metabolize one drink an hour.
I think it is safe to have at least 4 drinks during a club visit, maybe 5 unless you’re a lightweight and alcohol affects you differently than normal people. Personally, since the drinks are smaller and slightly iced/watered down, I am going to enjoy 4 drinks and feel relaxed. PSAs for retards around my area states “buzzed driving is drunk driving”, but if I get pulled over I will still be way below the 0.08 if I have 4-5 drinks. Since I don’t have a CDL to worry about, I am in the clear from a legal standpoint.
For that, you have my gratitude.
That's just me though. We're all grown men here, each can make his own decisions. I'm just risk averse. Plus I'd rather spend the money on pussy than on booze anyways.
Yeah, I'm biased. So fucking what?
Perhaps you could let Rick be Rick in FLA and start sermonizing and demonizing the locals drinking up on your next trip to Club Desire. I am sure that your efforts will be well received inside the Club and noted graciously by club ownership!
Assuredly. They are also the types who max out on their vehicle insurance and product protection plans, consistently wear their seatbelts when driving, allow insurance companies to track how fast they drive so they can receive "safe driver discounts" (which makes me as grateful as Tetanus that we are not sharing the same roads) and otherwise live very risk averse lives.
While I'll never understand how anyone can live that way, I certainly don't begrudge their personal choices. But sadly it's not enough for many of them to make their own choices. They also need the confirmation that others are doing the same so that they don't feel like weird anxious standouts. In essence they need to feel like they're part of the responsible herd.
I have no concerns about your drinking. It’s none of my business.
However, when you are drunk driving on the same roads where I and my family drive, it’s damn sure my business.
I believe none of this. So, you can’t argue against my statement, so you fantasize what else you imagine I believe and argue against those straw men.
As long as the drunk driving caucus here only wraps their own car around a tree, you do you. Just try not to linger in this world and run up medical bills.
Another straw man. All of this is inappropriate behavior. I don’t do it and it bothers me that others do. Especially texting.
I'm just saying once you think you're too drunk to drive, you're probably a couple drinks over the line. And if you can't control yourself (like another poster said), then don't drink at all.
Oh, and texting while driving should get 50 lashes from a Singapore cane.
skibum u should move to cousinlover county where u and rick can drive around carrying out florida tea party activities. rick has a super fast ford pinto with a confederate flag painted on top. i have it on good authority that he has been involved in many super fast car chases where he has lost sheriff roscoe
u will have a lot of fun together. your welcome
so lets stop giving mr dugan shit for living his culture. u be u rick
on the other hand mr skibum has no excuse unless he moves
:D
Stripper discussion groups is full of advocacy against alcohol as well. There is a lot of individuals who are truthful of their responsibility, but I suspect some who are not either.
I personally won’t be able to forget the time I saw a man 70-100 ft away from me killed by a drunk driver, the body flying in the air, the SUV flipping and hearing the sound of metal screeching along the street for a long ways before the car stopped, and the news report after the fact that only the driver of the vehicle survived the incident. Two passengers died. Things tend to not be a big deal until they are.
Two? Maybe
A few? No, not really. Uber or something
Now I don’t know if dugan actually has kids. In fact, persona could be total bs so he might not have kids anyway. But, if he does kids, it is probably best to assume he loves them and hides the more inappropriate and twisted aspects of his personality from those kids. Anyway, it is not like there is much any of us can do about it if he is unable to turn off his demented drunken pervert persona when it is family time.
I strongly suspect that - if dugan really does have kids - he is playing up the drunken demented pervert aspects of his life to amuse himself. Thus, I also suspect he limits his “drunk driving” to cases where he is actually comfortably below the legal limit. And, if not, I hope he gets caught and learns a lesson before killing anybody.
No that skibum fellow actually seems to be a demented twistoid. His story of driving after drinking nine beers (no doubt he means “I shotgunned nine cans of PBR” because he strikes me as a PBR guy) and smokes a few bowls of the wacky weed (or uses oil or whatever drug nonsense he claims to be into) may very well be true. Watch out for that guy.
All that being said I can’t get with driving three sheets to the wind. Innocent people pay for it.
It would sure be surprising to discover that guy professing his views - a lawyer to boot - would actually be a routine and casual “breaker of the laws”!
Thanks Nice, but which arguments did you thin was flimsy, the notion that someone can have a few drinks and still drive responsibly or that people who feel otherwise are wound just a bit too tight? You aren't vying for membership in the RETARDS organization, are you? 😉
Dugan, I suspect that nicespice feels that spending too much time parsing the arguments of a person playing a perverted and demented drunken twistoid on the interwebz is a fools game.
Especially given that there is always a chance that you are a drunken perverted twistoid. I know, I said that I think you’re playing up that demented character for shits and giggles but who knows?
I also think that you’re behind at least some of the rick animals - and if you are behind the rick animals all I can say is “bravo”
Sometimes I just don’t get your humor.
Bacon!!
If you want to know about an estimate of your blood alcohol level use a bac calculator like https://www.alcohol.org/bac-calculator/ to get a decent idea or order a breathalyzer online. Neither are 100% accurate but they give you a decent idea.
Personally I try to average about 1 bourbon per hour and drink water between each one. I also usually stop about 1 hour before I plan to leave. If I find myself drinking more than that I simply take an Uber and come back in the morning to get my car.
Not sure about other states but here in Ohio you can get an OVI (our term for DUI) even if you are below .08. If you are at .08 or higher it is an automatic OVI but if you have any alcohol (or drugs) in your system and the cop (and later the court) determines that it was influencing you it is enough for an OVI conviction.
The jury instruction states - “Under the influence means that the defendant consumed some (alcohol)(drug of abuse)(alcohol and a drug of abuse), whether mild or potent, in such a quantity, whether small or great, that it adversely affected and appreciably impaired the defendant’s actions, reactions, or mental processes under the circumstances then existing and deprived him of that clearness of intellect and control of himself which he would otherwise have possessed. The question is not how much (alcohol)(drug of abuse)(alcohol and a drug of abuse) would affect an ordinary person. The question is what effect did any (alcohol)(drug of abuse)(alcohol and a drug of abuse), consumed by the defendant, have on him at the time and place involved. If the consumption of (alcohol)(drug of abuse)(alcohol and a drug of abuse) so affected the nervous system, brain, or muscles of the defendant so as to impair, to an appreciable degree, his ability to operate the vehicle, then the defendant was under the influence."
With the way society as a whole has become more risk adverse I would rather take an Uber than risk a jury interpreting that instruction if I blow a .04.
