What the fuck is all of this? Are you trying to rationalize your own drunk driving?

You do not understand tolerance. Start here: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2764986

This study demonstrated that heavy social drinkers, categorized by their persistent and predominant adult pattern of drinking and regular bingeing, exhibited comparable alcohol-induced impairment to that of light social drinkers in such areas as fine motor and dexterity skills (Pegboard) and processing and encoding functions (DSST) following consumption of a moderate-to-heavy dose of alcohol (4-5 standard drink equivalent).

Basically even if you don't "feel" intoxicated, your psychomotor performance will be impacted as much as anyone else. If anything, it's more dangerous, because you're going to be less aware of how intoxicated you are.

This effect is especially noticeable if you see someone drinking on Vivitrol. They don't feel drunk, but they keep drinking and slurring their words, stumbling, etc. The way that alcohol affects the limbic system and creates that sense of euphoria is separate from how it affects your motor coordination, and balance, speech, vision, etc.

DONT DRINK AND DRIVE. And if you do, I pray you end up in prison for DUI rather than manslaughter. Fuck you for even spending all that time and effort writing an essay on how reckless use of a deadly weapon in public spaces is okay if you're an addict. Legal limit should be 0.01. It's a worthless poison that kills people.
