I do try my best to stay on top of it. The only problem is I don’t know my limit really, and sometimes I don’t want to just drink beer.

But it’s a learning process.

But it’s a learning process.

Alcohol is weird! When I was your age I swear that there were times when I could drink an entire 6 pack in an hour and be completely unphased; literally felt stone-dead sober. At other times, I could get a serious buzz from a single beer. I think a lot has to do with metabolism and body chemistry.

Today, I can't drink beer fast enough to really get drunk. I fill up before I get that buzz. But I exercise conservative philosophy in all things; so, just make sure that you have a trustworthy FRiend to hold those keys when you don't know the limit.

I never ran into any problems personally, but can tell from a few close to me that DUI totally sucks. I also have a cousin who killed someone as a result of drunk driving back in the 70's. As you can imagine his life was changed forever.
