I've done it numerous times (not trying to brag) but on my trip home it was Friday mornings, never a cop around especially since it was in the bush, not the city.
It is risky of course and I don't know what your license is like, but if you are allowed 0% BAC then I wouldn't risk it.
It takes ~ an hour for your body to process 1 unit of alcohol. Now, bare in mind, there are plenty of police around at this time of year and you can fail a breathalyser on just ONE unit, I wouldn't risk it even the morning after if I'm honest. A pint can vary from 1.7 - 2.5 units, you can see it'll add up very quickly.
... well saying that, I wouldn't ever risk drink driving, it's one of the most stupid things people do.
I've been in this situation many times, I have a rule to know when I'm ok to drive because sometimes I wake up and I'm still drunk. It's called the hangover rule. I get brutally hung-over, when I feel like **** I know I'm good to drive. Where I live the policy is "0 tolerance" - meaning cops smell booze, have any sort of trace of booze you lose your license for 2 days (weekend) and they tow your car if you blow over a .08 BAC you lose your license for a year, crash/cause an accident you lose your license for a minimum of 2.
It's simply not worth it for me.
Did you drive to the party in the end?
Yeah haha made sure I stopped drinking at a decent time and ended up sobering up a bit before sleeping, then in the morning had food + cups of tea with everyone then I felt fine :) Drove carefully though haha.Quote:
