If most people are like me, I’m so paranoid about getting a DUI, that I almost never drink outside my house, and even then it’s only ONE beer, if I’m splurging on a steak dinner.
Even then, I’m totally paranoid about getting pulled over, and having to say I’ve only had ONE beer.
“Sure you have, buddy. Wanna step out of the car for me?”
We have a keychain sized Breathalyzer we bring with us if we go out anywhere. While obviously not perfectly accurate, it can give at least a good baseline whether you’re over or under. So if we’re getting close to wanting to go home and I’m driving and I blow around 0.08, I stop drinking. I order some water, maybe another appetizer or something, and hang out with my partner a half hour to an hour longer before heading home.
People think every day drinkers are just binge drinkers unable to handle their alcohol. It’s an addiction, not a compulsion.
