Am Over the Limit to Drive ?
 

I do realise that some extremely responsible BAC guide is likely to be poked fun at by some people, they poke fun at anything. It is not these "some people" that I am posting this guide for. It is the sensible and intelligent individual I am aiming at, who knows how to use it properly.

All general medical facts and figures are based on statistical analysis of populations. The data is empirical and averaged, it has got to be, there is no other statistical way of assessing a large sample.

But when you enter your personal data, then the filters are refined to become a much more personalised result and a good guide.

If you use this checker sensibly and in particular get the time period realistic to avoid stupid bias`s, then the result is as accurate as you will ever get from such a guide.

For instance, in a period of 4 hours, if your first drink is in the first hour and you then have 3 large Whiskey`s in hour 4, then you find your BAC for the period over which you drank the 3 Whiskey`s. It is this critical period which determines whether you are too sloshed to drive.

The link itself provides a list of extremely useful reference options in the left hand side panel.

Re: Am Over the Limit to Drive ?

The mood of the site is don't drink drive not working out what you can drink and drive. It highlights how little can take you over the limit, especially in some countries.

One drop of alcohol to my lips and the car is taboo for at least a day for me.

Re: Am Over the Limit to Drive ?
 

You do not have to be neurotic about having a drink, just sensible.

The UK BAC limit of alcohol for drivers is 80 milligrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood, or 0.08 on the chart. If you use this guide realistically, the result is fairly accurate.

I am certainly more than happy with the guide.

Re: Am Over the Limit to Drive ?
 

Err... The Scottish limit is lower at 50 mg.

Re: Am Over the Limit to Drive ?
 

OK, the chart still applies if you regard the result as being equal to or less than 0.05. The chart specifies your BAC rating. No problem.

HAPPY MOTORING

If you see two pairs of headlights coming towards you, drive in between them.

"Sensible" is subjective.

I'd say sensible is to be not drink at all if you're going to drive.
