Be like a carpenter, measure your drinks twice and don't drive once they don't add up. Yes, it sounds too easy which means it must be that easy to avoid drinking and driving under the influence.
Yeah, I guess. I'm pretty good at the counting thing too. Problem is, that method is actually not fool proof at all. There are tons of factors that could leave you driving over the limit, which is why all those charts and calculators have disclaimers like this:
"The calculations provided here may not represent your true BAC and should not be relied on as an indicator of whether you are capable of driving. Without belaboring a point made many times before, the best approach is to avoid driving after you drink."
I'm considering doing what Jbro suggested in that thread, and shoot for 0.05, because I think shooting for 0.08 will leave most people above the limit often enough to be chronic drunk drivers.
