Listen its just chest thumping by someone thats obviously not mature enough to realize that in no way, shape or form does it make you cool to be able to have A beer or 10 beers and drive. It just makes you look like a fool and the more one tries to justify it by citing the law, the one more looks immature and naive.

I took my kid down to the open house this summer at the firehouse down the street from our house. Chicago FD. I got to talking with one of the guys who's been there for 20 years. We got on the topic of beers and he related a story that the firehouse a few years ago set up a test on a Friday night for any off duty fireman that was willing to participate in a police department study of perceived impairment vs. BAC. It was BYOB, held at the firehouse, all participants signed a waiver that included them spending the night at the firehouse and a relinquishment of their car keys. Each participant was weighed and BMI was calculated before commencing the experiment. Now this guy I spoke to was about 6'4" and approx 230 lbs. Big dude. After each drink they were given a breathalizer. He stated beforehand that he felt he could hang with the best drinking beers. He brought a 12 pack of a 5% alcohol beer. He said he felt drunk at .06 and at .08 was shocked at how drunk he felt, yet was right at the legal limit.
