Drinking 4 light beers in 2 hours with my weight would come to a BAC % = 0.054
Which would be:
No going out to dinner
No watching a game at a sports bar
No getting together with friends for a couple of hours
(guess we’ll just have to ‘facebook’ :( )
Drinking 2 light beers in 1 hr calculates to 0.027%
That will cut everyone’s night short and the tills of businesses short.
We’ve had a .05 BAC in Australia for a couple of decades and restaurants/bars/pubs/clubs aren’t hurting because of it (they are hurting due to the high minimum wage here though).
