A good rule of thumb is to allow AT LEAST one hour per "drink" (bottle of beer, shot of hard liquor, glass of wine) before driving. Wait longer if you're especially lightweight, and, of course, never drive anyway if you feel in less than total control. > I don't drink anything stronger than beer. This is a dangerous and stupid (sorry for the language but lives are at stake here) misconception. A bottle of beer has as much alcohol as a shot of liquor or a glass of wine. Your statement would make sense only if people drank similar quantities of each (e.g., a shot of beer). --Bruce Burger AT&T Information Systems Freehold, NJ {...ihnp4!}ahuta!btb
