Have you ever gotten a DUI from your own beer?

No I learned my lesson after the first time.

I've never gotten a DUI so the answer would be No and No!

My homebrew, no, I drink that at home. Somebody else's homebrew, no, not yet.

I'm getting a DUI right now, quick someone type something to say to the cop? I was thinking of saying "for a small fee I'll sleep with your daughter?" I thought that would go over well because I'm out of state and in the sticks?

That is the way to win friends and influence people

I thought it was funny. On a more serious note, when I was at the DMV renewing my drivers licence, they asked if I had any tickets. I said just one in ten years, I was out of state in WI and got tagged for 5 miles per hr over the limit on the interstate. I thought the cop was kidding at first; this is back when if you couldn't pay the ticket in cash or credit, you'd go to jail. He was more angry when I pulled out the cash to pay him. It's a nice state with good people, but I drive around it now if I can. The people at the DMV said they get that story all the time.

...if you couldn't pay the ticket in cash or credit, you'd go to jail.

Not sure if it still is, but it used to be like that in Illinois. My first of 3 tickets in 32 years of driving... Luckily, I was in the Air Force and the cop cut me a break and let me go as long as I agreed to pay the ticket by mail as soon as I got home. I didn't have the cash on hand... I was 18 at the time driving about 30 miles an hour over the limit... eeek... A very good lesson learned. I remember it scaring the bejeebies out of me. Fresh out of basic training... worried about what the first sgt was going to say to me.

But... to answer the question again... drink at home, don't get a DUI. Drink in a bar, you're going to get one sooner or later. The local cops set outside of EVERY bar in this city waiting for people to leave.

I bought a fuel cell breathalyzer a while ago. I paid about $150 for it, but that's certainly cheaper than a DUI.

I usually don't drive if I've been drinking, but on the rare occasion that I do, it's nice to at least have a reference point.

The accuracy of consumer grade breathalyzers can be debated, even those with higher quality fuel cell sensors (what the police use). But something is better than nothing.

I prefer drinking and diving, and good barbeque by the pool, no harm no foul...yet!!!

That is the joy of home brew, you can drink it at home. I had a friend tell me he was too drunk to drive, when he drove home from my house. I haven't asked him back because he now put me in the position of "mothering/monitoring his drinking". I thought that was a real jerk thing for him to do on many levels. Why would he tell me that?

Maybe that was his way of asking you to borrow the couch. I know I have overimbibed a time or three and asked to use the couch or a phone to call a cab.

It would take a real dummy to get a DUI from drinking homebrew. I robbed a bank once, but c'mon.

Have you ever gotten a DUI while being drunk on your very own, homemade beer?

Have you ever been called stupid while saying something stupid from your very own, stupid mouth.?

 

[Yuri_Rage]

Ok. Done.
