Back from jy found a V6 with 4.10's. But had a 35 rear and disco front
and that is why you don't drink and wheel.but someone had a few too many and wondered off into the woods, got stuck, and then the monsoon storm came, and stuck became very bad.
Most of us had a few beers and were completely fine when we went to leave.
I'm a Gunnery Sergeant in the Marine Corps. How many drunk driving safety briefs do you think I've had over 15 years? How many do you think I've taught myself?
The impairment of your motor skills starts after the first beer. Your hydration level, your digestive metabolism and your body type determine just how impaired you are. Keep drinking, think you are fine. I've had Marines get DUI's after "3 or 4" over a few hours. Unless you hit yourself with a breathalizer before you started the jeep, you don't really know.
Drink when you're done wheeling and not driving home or don't drink. It's even worse that you let your friend drive after he had 12. If you were perfectly fine, why didn't your good judgement kick in and tell him he shouldn't be driving after a 12 pack?
I've seen too many Darwin incidents. Too many dead 19 year old Marines who were "fine to drive." Don't try to justify your dumb actions with the BAC speech. And if you're going to drink and wheel, keep it to yourself. We don't needinvolved in people being stupid.
I own a breathalyzer because I never want to get a DUI seeing how easy it is since the legal limit is set entirely too low and, in my state atleast, between .05-.08 it is at the officer's discretion to as whether or not he thinks you are impaired and so say you blow a .055 which is well below thw legal limit, if you have a power tripping cop who sees it as a game to throw people in the drunk tank then he could still take you in if he wanted to. So if you are in Georgia think of the legal limit as .05. Anyways I have been out plenty of times and maintained only having about a beer an hour or if I have 2-3 in one hour I wait atleast 2 hours after my last one before I go driving. I test in my breathalyzer and I blow safe. The DUI are highly skewed by MADD Mom lobbyists. They think they improved the safety of the roads by getting the legal limit lower because no they get more DUIs. Well yah you lowered the limit so now more people qualify as driving drunk. That makes as much sense as saying well my credit card is maxed out so I'll just raise my credit limit, doesn't make your debt any less but hey you can buy more shit. The government doesn't care about lowering the limit because that means more revenue from DUIs. I sat in a alcohol/traffic school class to get a ticket dropped and they told me all the same stuff I am sure you tell your men. They also told me that if I never touched a drop of alcohol all but 3 separate occasions a year but on each of those occasions I got hammered, then I still qualified as an alcoholic. That is absolutely outrageous and unrealistic, that is saying so if I celebrate on holidays like St. Patrick's day, 4th of July, and New Year's and I get drunk hey I an alcoholic. Please, my parent's come home form work and have a glass of wine with dinner so based on the kind of standards of what the government has set, they are raging alcoholics. MADD Moms would be thrilled with prohibition if it came back and the government won't complain because the tighter the restrictions the more qualifying violators which means more that will be paying fines and the more revenue they will bring in. What was intended to be a safety rule has now been horribly twisted into a money making machine. You sat through classes that were being taught by those who read a hand book that was given to them by the government. They are by no means an expert in the field of drunk driving.
And let me just say as a disclaimer I am in no way condoning REAL drunk driving. I have taken away plenty of keys from friends and even those I barely knew because they were going to try and drive when they were clearly drunk from mere observation of their behavior. I have paid for cabs for those that wanted to drive home impaired. I believe in safety first and foremost. But to believe the delusional views and standards set by the government is ridiculous. Don't believe what the government tells you all the time, go out and find out for yourself. Think for yourself!

But I drunk web browse like a mofo.
some people like digging when they're in a hole.This isn't the first time you have brought a drinking and driving conversation to this forum. We have a strict policy to protect our members, families, friends, and image. I would heed a warning not to further this discussion and leave it alone, you are treading on thin ice with a lot of people,
whatever.... if he wants to drink and wheel it will catch up to him quick, ive got too many problems of my own to give him a speech. if you go do it, best of luck, dont get killed or do something stupid that gets places shut down.....
.....really dont talk about it here.... if you feel like your being wronged and you want to talk like that go elsewhere
