This isn't what the science says, and you can't "think you might be close enough to borderline" because you don't have an internal BAC meter. All in all this is extremely bad advice.
- djrogers 9y ago> This isn't what the science says Umm yeah - science and personal experience say it really is. Do you have a source for your claim?
- Dylan16807 9y agoScience says that when you start walking, your body stops absorbing alcohol from your digestive tract? What if that walk takes you from .6 to .8? Oops.
- djrogers 9y agoCitation please? That's not supported by any of the studies I've read or personal experience with BAC testing. In fact, pretty much everything points to walking having no affect on alcohol metabolism at all, so what you've done is spent an additional hour metabolising the alcohol, and lowering your BAC.

"A person who has not eaten will hit a peak BAC typically between 1/2 hour to two hours of drinking. A person who has eaten will hit a peak BAC typically between 1 and 6 hours, depending on the amount of alcohol consumed." Walking does nothing, but giving the alcohol more time to absorb can take you from safe to unsafe.
