- throwawaytea 4mo agoFor sure drunk driving increases your odds of an accident. But people make it sound 3-4 beers and you're bound to have an accident. We should be more honest about it.
- lokar 4mo agoMost people would not describe the observable behavior of someone just over the legal limit as drunk.
- throwawaytea 4mo agoThe police sure would. And when people these days talk about drinking and driving, most of it IS the 4 beers after work they're talking about. The crazy drunkard having stiff drinks at a bar and then driving home after almost falling over walking to his car is pretty rare. But you're right, in the context of the OP I was responding to, he probably did mean real drunkards being more popular back then.
- dTal 4mo agoWhat a weird straw pile to die one. No one is saying "four beers and you're guaranteed an accident". They're saying "drive drunk and you are a piece of shit, don't do it ever ever ever". There's no room for nuance here because the targets of this advice have lethally impaired judgement. Wiggle room will be exploited by people too drunk to know better, which equals preventable death.
