How many drinks take you over the limit.

I've always had a zero tolerance rule, latterly relaxed to a max of 1/2 pint only.
Interestingly, at a BTaP a few years ago, PH had arranged for a breathalyser to be present at breakfast time the following morning...
I kept a record of what I drank that evening and between 5.30pm and 1am I consumed 2 pints of cider, 2 glasses of wine and 12 single vodkas.
when I came down for breakfast at 8am I was under the limit, though I felt pretty rough and wouldn't have considered driving.
I was tested again at 11am and blew a zero but still didn't feel right so had lunch before setting off for home.
Some of the reading were so high that at least two people opted to have another night in the hotel and someone else had another BTaP attendee drive them home.
Just goes to show how people react differently to drinks depending on a load of factors. Interestingly, at a BTaP a few years ago, PH had arranged for a breathalyser to be present at breakfast time the following morning...

I can drink cider/beer all night long and be under the limit the next morning (but wouldn't drive because I wouldn't feel safe) - spirits, though - if I was on the whiskey, drinking the same quantity of alcohol, it'd be about 2pm the next day before I was under the limit (but wouldn't drive because whiskey murders me as far as hangovers are concerned!).
