[QUOTE="upsrwife, post: 312666, member: 14463"] first of all, it's not against the law to drink and drive. It's against the law to drink TOO MUCH and drive. having a drink or two with a meal will certainly not take you over the limit unless you weigh 85 lbs. Dannyboy was competely correct in his post. eating makes a huge difference. When you eat, the pyloric valve in your stomach closes and alcohol seaps into the intestine MUCH slower. if you have an empty stomach, it's almost instant. yes, most people are usually dead at a .70...but there was a case up north this year where a woman tested at exactly that, and lived. I have encountered many persons above a .40 that were acting completely sober due to alchoholism. it's more common than you think. The first thing alcholol effects is the ability to determine if you have had too much and if you think you are impaired. in my state, and in alot of others, if you refuse the breath test, your DL is suspended for 12 mnths for the first refusal. IF you do get approved to get a Business purpose DL, the DL office will still put a 90 day hard suspention on your DL. which is probably why a previouse poster stated someone worked in the building for 90 days then went back to driving. I just wanted to clear a few things up, since I know something about this subject. I have helped put over 4,000 drunk drivers in jail and been to hundreds of hours of schooling on the subject.
