sorry but that's a terrible rationalization, pound a couple shots as soon as you get home if you wanna immediately get drunk in your free time.
Distinction without a difference, you can measure the dose and get whatever intoxication level desired.
Lmfao, okay sorry mr badass, you're right I'll leave drinking and driving to the pros, sorry you got triggered
The fact that you don't understand the difference between drinking and getting drunk is what tells me you definitely shouldn't do it, as you'd be driving drunk, and that's wrong.
Here in Europe we often learn how to do it. The way we're taught is one drink one hour. You can have two drinks and still drive as a medium sized man, that's like the rule of thumb. Ofc if you're having two pints of wine that won't work, but two beers will be just fine to be under 0.05%.
The problem with alcohol is one of two. For kiddos like you, it's becoming overconfident, thinking they're fucking rally drivers, and trying to show their 1.8 litre Nisssan FWD Nissan to their friends while coming back from the bar, they don't handle it well, veer into the other lane while there's a car coming and BOOM.
However a well worn out 40-year old coming back from his work can actually benefit from the beer in his way home. A single beer, even if it's a whole pint, won't physically impair you. But if you're exhausted from your day at work, it will nicely rehydrate you, and it will start your liver up, meaning it will slightly perk you up.
That's the thing. When drinking, at first it sort of perks you up, then slows you down. So you want to get that cycle started as soon as possible, because you don't want it to be a wide arc, because you don't want to drink a ton before tomorrow's work.
My dad pretty much always drank at nights. Never drove without breathalysing himself. Was he an alcoholic? Definitely. Did he ever drive drunk, not caring for the kids that he was driving around?
Most fucking assuredly net, God rest his soul.
Oh and he wouldn't have subscribed to the "have one while driving home" prolly, but he didn't need to because he worked from home, but he wouldn't have scuffed at me for doing it. Once made me drive my brother to the army brigade from his leave despite me telling him I'd had 3 large ciders (it was all small backroads so it wasn't that big of a thing really but still I was like close to the 0.05% clearly so that wasn't cool.)
