Last night I drank 500ml of vodka, I weight 150 pounds age 21 how long till I can drive?
 
A) When you recover from your coma
B) Never, your poor decision-making skills make you an unsuitable driver
C) Not until you feel 100% sober (plus 6 hours)
D) All of the above
 
I believe the ratio is 1 hour per shot or drink to be below the limit. So if you have 4 drinks it is 4 hours.
 
500 ml? You should be dead.

Anyway attention seeker, 1 oz 1 hour says "the law". I hope you drank that at home or passed out for a good 8-10 hours and felt like ass somewhere safe when you woke.
 
"Today my fish died and it is all your fault"

Sorry about your fish, jessica. My 6 year-old had to suffer that same trauma a few months back. Hope your fish wasn't out drinking with the OP.
 
First go to where you want to be when you're done drinking. Then drink in moderation. Your organs will thank you.
 
Its a shot, beer or glass of wine an hour. After 3, you are pretty much done. I would not drive after that. If I have "a" beer I will not drive. Best not to chance it. I have seen LOTS of people get hammered with DUI's.....its VERY EXPENSIVE!!! If you're going to drink at a party or with friends....make plans ahead of time so you can get home.

That can't be right, if a can of beer is 12 oz.

approximately 1-1.5oz liquor = 6oz or wine = 12 oz beer

at 150 you'll be able to metabolize 2 the first hour and one each additional hour and be able to stay within the legal limit depending on food in your stomach, hydration levels, and health

Heh... cute, but someone who really did that would be puking and/or having extreme light sensitivity for days on end. Nice try, though. 🙂

That's just not true though. I drank one of these Saturday night (not straight, obviously)

(70cl Smirnoff)

& a couple of jagerbombs and I was alright Sunday morning. Bit of a headache but it had gone by 2pm.

Why? I know people who drink more.

I'm 19, I'm a student. What else are we supposed to do?! 😛

I'm not saying I didn't drink before I hit 21, but really? That is way too much booze and trust me, it is odd that I think that way. 😉
