do you drive drunk/buzzed?

I would agree with this - a handful of times when I was way younger and waaaaaay dumber. And I'm horribly ashamed of it. I don't drink at all at this point in my life, so I'm a built-in DD.

I have been known to be somewhat intoxicated on my bike the last week in July as well...

You can get a DUI on a bike.....

I'll have 3 pints and some food over a couple of hours and drive and be buzzed so I put occassionally. Now if it includes bicycles, I would have to say I operate quite frequently while drunk.

A lot of people get drunk before the game and then think that the 3 hours will sober them up. If you're bad enough, it won't.

I'm pretty sure I've driven drunk on Sunday morning before.

Anyone reviewing the life choices I made overall at the two different points!

I believe you can estimate it at a decrease of .02 per hour after all the alcohol has been absorbed in your system.

True; however, I am more concerned about killing someone with my 2-3,000 lb. vehicle than I am about getting a DUI.

Which is a bit ridiculous. Also ridiculous that you can technically get one on one of those motorized coolers... isnt drinking and driving those the entire point?

Also, a lawnmower.

2 beers in one hour will put the average person at the legal limit.

Hey, I'm for that. A lawnmower is much more dangerous than my bike with those spinning blades...

I'm in the same boat. I'm not a long distance driver. One time I went off the road. Luckily I was not badly hurt.

No, it won't. Blood Alcohol Calculator Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself
Maybe it is because I think it is cool to mess around on that site but some people have no clue about how much they can/can't drink and drive/not drive.
