As a casual drinker, I so much appreciate more people refusing alcohol (slrpnk.net)

I've always hated how alcohol commercials play up like a cool beer is the best thing in the world, or a glass of whiskey is what will put hair on your chest. It's a disgusting narrative that ruins people's lives.

On social media, there's a huge variety of it. People posting how they were sober on NYE. Folks sharing before/after as they've gone cold turkey. I see people share tips of what type of mocktails to get at bars, and alternatives to having a fun night over getting drunk.

I appreciate that.

And this is not bashing alcohol. Moderation in everything.

whenever we go as a group to get cocktails we do 2 booze rounds and 1 boozeless round so we're all set to drive

You are not okay to drive after two booze rounds

One "serving" of alcohol is fully metabolized after about an hour. If you're having two drinks at the beginning side of a three-hour period, you're fine to drive.

One per hour and not more than 3 is a very easy rule for staying below 0.08. Two drinks in an hour and nothing more will usually still keep you below the limit tbh. It really is that third and fourth drink which tilt it.

They probably mean they're likely to be below the breath-alcohol limit for their region.

Also duration of these rounds can be accounted for in that calculation.

That being said, it's always best to have a personal limit of zero when driving.
