Drink responsibly

I make lots of posts about drinking/brewing/drinking beer. What I fail to mention, maybe, is that I do the majority of my imbibing at home, where the couch is my designated driver. More or less. Anyway, here's a handy chart for you to know when- or when not- to drive. It provides your blood alcohol content based on your weight and sex. Sorry women, but beer affects you differently than it does men. Be aware that the "drinks" column indicates the number of 12 ounce(5% ABV) beers, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.25 ounces of 80 proof liquor. If you like big beers as much as I do, adjsut your number accordingly.

1 Nice chart! Thanks! A quick question, though... Shouldn't there be some sort of time factor in this? Such as "Drinks per hour" or something? dph? Thanks again, and keep up the good fight!
