man people on these forums absolutely freak out at the first mention of driving after drinking.

driving when actually drunk is pretty much just reckless disregard for human life. shockingly enough, it pisses people off.

Please. Let's not overexaggerate things here. .08 is like 3 beers in an hour and that's "actually drunk" (at least in Maryland). I'm sure you NEVER do that,eh Xorbie?

Unless you're really skinny, you're wrong. I have a card that "calculates" the BAC for a 200lb male. 3 drinks in an hours is .040. You'd have to drink 6 beers in an hour to be over the .08 limit (and 7 for any state where it is still .10).

Who supplied your card? Jack Daniels?

It depends on the type of drink, and the size of each drink. Making a blanket statement that you can "drink 5 drinks in an hour and still be good to drive" is just asking for trouble.
