It seems apparent na sa Pinas di talaga isyu and drinking and driving. Is it really not and issue? Some will contend or even make the excuse na di naman prevalent and drunk driving mishaps dito. Is that true? Also cops may be ill equipped or under manned to take sobriety tests so i suppose it isnt a big deal to be driving intoxicated.
How many bottles of ordinary beer or glasses of hard or wine would be tolerable you think? Or does it even matter given the scenario here?
Do you drink and drive? Or have you ever even driven drunk?

March 12th, 2007 05:27 PM #2Broke my "no drinking and driving rule" a few months ago. Had 3 San Mig Lights with my wife and sis at Tiendesitas. I didn't feel woozy or anything so nag-drive pa rin ako pauwi to Santolan. Slower than normal nga lang kahit 3AM na. Siguro I am confident enough of the amount of alcohol it takes to impair my driving abilities. I was ready to take a taxi that time kung di ko na talaga kaya.
My wife was counting cars out loud on the way home though

March 12th, 2007 05:46 PM #7Yup, sometimes 2...3...4...5...6...7...8 bottles of San Mig Lite, depende, pag walang laman ang tyan ilang bote lang uwi na, pag busog kaya maraming bottles ok pa rin judgement in driving

March 12th, 2007 05:57 PM #8Yup I do drink and drive, but only up to my limit. When Alam ko na natatamaan na ko I stop drinking na , water na lang, until I know I can handle to drive. Then I drink coffee before I drive home, steady driving speed 50-60 kph lang. Thats it.

March 12th, 2007 06:11 PM #9Strictly no alcohol for me, since I'm almost always the designated driver.
Besides, I already have enough problems dealing with the effects of iced tea when I'm driving. :D

March 12th, 2007 06:14 PM #10I don't drink, and on the certain occasions I am coerced to, I make sure I don't have to drive.

March 12th, 2007 06:16 PM #11how do we gauge when tama na ang tama? kung may kaunting tama na. btw, has anyone had that "auto pilot" experience where some claim they wake up the next day and were unsure how they got home. like they got home on "auto pilot".

March 12th, 2007 06:27 PM #12Technically, drinking 2 bottles of beer a night would still be considered "drinking". So to be honest, I do.

March 13th, 2007 01:27 AM #13I've done that but it wasn't because I was drunk. I was very tired and sleepy going home from work after a long shift. I just realized I was in my garage and didn't recall driving home. The most drunk I got was in an office Christmas party and I called my dad to pick me up, apparently I left a trail of vomit on the highway and in my BMW.

March 12th, 2007 06:55 PM #15No, I don't drink drive. I don't even drink much, if at all. Heck, I'm even the butt of jokes in the family because of it - lagi daw bitin ang mga party namin magpipinsan, kasi a) maaga ako matulog, at b) hindi ako umiinom, so ako driver. By 10PM raw, either uuwi na kaming lahat o maiwanan ko sila. Originally Posted by midinite

Having a "just this once!" attitude to drinking and driving is like finding yourself without a condom, saying "what the heck!" and having *** anyway. Come to think of it...

March 12th, 2007 08:04 PM #19you can drink and drive naman.. wag lang drunk..
sa Australia (NSW), they have alcolizers sa RSL bars so that you can check your alcohol level kung fit ka pa mag drive.. if you are more than .05 you can't drive.. last time nandon kami.. over over kami sa limit.. so naka 3 coffee at hilamos nang hot water before we can go home..
