i think the number they mentioned up there belongs to 'keys please' it's a reputable company that has 2 people come and get you, one of them drives your car back to your place while the other drives you home. it's a real company and most local businesses will advise their employees to call KP or a taxi home during their annual christmas parties. |
having one beer is pointless. So you may as well have 0 beers, keep your blood alcohol lvl at 0, and not risk your license. :thumbsup: |
Get a breathalyzer for $15-20 and keep it in your car. Much easier than guessing. The average body processes 1 serving of alcohol per hour (1 beer, 1 glass of wine, etc), though I don't know if that will keep you at 0.00 but it's certainly a good indicator for whether you're below 0.08 |

This shouldn't even be a question. IF YOU HAVE YOUR N.. you don't drive if you've been drinking. At all. End of discussion. See my sig if you have any questions. Quote:

"whether you're below 0.08 "...if you are a N or L, knowing if you are below .08 is no use unless you are 100% below. Someone else posted the right answer...have an N or L, no booze at all, zero, zilch...it even tells you that on your restrictions. |
Even with your Class 5, if you blow over .05 and under 1.0 you'll still fail the roadside breathalyzer and receive a 24 hour prohibition, AND have your car impounded for 24 hours. Most people this happens to never think it will happen to them, but its oh-so-easy! |
We're talking about a GLP driver here, where any reading on a screening device is grounds for a 12 hour suspension. The question was how long do you have to wait after drinking before the screening device would show no reading. I agree with the sentiment that if you drink, don't drive, especially as a GLP driver as the risk of making a mistake is just too high. However, the average person's body will eliminate about 15 mg% per hour. This is the equivalent of a single standard drink (1 beer, 4 oz wine, 1 oz hard liquor) ingested by a 165 pound individual. Given that it takes time to absorb the alcohol and then time to eliminate it, I might suggest that 2 hours is probably the minimum time needed to get back to no reading on the screening device and more than this would be safer still. |
It all comes down to if you want to bet your license on your guess at 100% absence of alcohol in your system. In court it takes an expert from a Lab to sometimes decide this. |
