 :o  Wow!!  Soooo I stopped drinking hmmmm  20 years ago.   So now all I need to do for a strong buzzz, is go out and drive for two hours a night.    I can see a lot of DWI's being tossed.   I was not drinking I have been driving for 4hrs. Judge, that my story and I'm sticking too it.
:o   I can see all the lawyers eyes lighting up and seeing $$$$$$$.  :))

Researchers at Utrecht University in the Netherlands found that driving for just three hours at night was similar to being drunk. Even two hours behind the wheel after dark was like having a strong buzz.

Three hours behind the wheel was comparable to a BAC of 0.08 percent. Driving 4.5 hours at night was akin to reaching a BAC of 0.10 percent
