Drink driving? Is it really that bad?

[Fosal]

I live rurally, last night my friend had 3 and a half pints and my friend had 11 and he drove us home. I got there in one piece and so did he.

The new limits are stupid and over-restrictive. No one crashed after 3 or 4 pints. Let's restore the old limit of 0.08 %.

What state? Pints? I would bet that you are not in the US...

I would suspect that this person is in another country. One where there is a traditional sort of "get sloshed in the tavern, walk home" or take the cab, ride the tram, ride the horse, ride the bicycle, whatever mindset. These particular bozos just happen to have a car. Yo ho. And these jolly old travelers would be potential lunchmeat, and would create tragedy if they had to go out after their "pints" and take on an American expressway. Drunk driving is like drunk....anything. You're impaired.

No - except to say you were both lucky, as was everyone else on the road.

This isn't a discussion forum and even if it were it should take more than saying something is "stupid" in order to start a legit discussion.

You are an idiot. I don't have discussions with idiots.

Profile says "Canada/US". OP is, seemingly, unsure where he is from.

Perhaps he is stuck on the Ambasssador Bridge between Windsor and Detroit.

Define "new".

Take your discussion over to City Data where ridiculous discussions abound.

A few pints of DogBolter will do that to you. Ask me how I know

Then you should not be driving.

A few pints of Bacardi 151 will kill you
