Drunker Than Ever

Jake by brooklynkidWithout having another drink, New Yorkers are drunker! The State lowered the blood alcohol content threshold for DWI conviction from 0.10% to 0.08%. The Post says an average sized man can reach 0.08% after 4 beers. Luckily, Gothamist doesn't drive (and we do not tolerate driving while drunk - have a designated driver), we just wreak havoc around the city, drinking too many Cosmos and talking very loudly. In these instances, it's good to have a designated friend to steer you clear of disaster and piece together what happened when you don't remember. Or have a camera.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on preventing impaired driving. And learn more from the Blood Alcohol Educator.

They say it only takes 4 beers, but over what period of time? An hour? Ten minutes? An entire evening? I think they just want to increase their fine and penalty revenue.

It's about alcohol so I feel an undeniable need to post...but I'm not sure what to say...
