if your going to drink at all and you plan on driving, the max should be 1 an hour for pretty much anybody. That BAC website is actually an interesting way of looking at it, but shouldn't be used as an allowance chart. you're just asking for it, especially when the cop to civilian ratio on the roads at 2am are 5 civ's to 1 cop.

No, the legal limit is 0.08 blood alcohol content. It depends on your body type, your tolerance, and other factors.

I had an airport cop pull me one night, give me every test he could think of. I passed them all including the breathalizer. He still wouldn't let me drive home though, since I confessed to drinking two beers earlier that day. Is that legal?
No. I saw one on 50 about a year ago when I was coming home from Bridges.

Yup...mpg999 is right. NEVER admit to drinking, it will open pandoras box and next thing you know, you're in the back of a cop car for 1 beer.

I don't see how he could keep you from driving home. That is why you never admit to drinking anything, even just one, they will harrass you to no end. You are not required to take any those test, not even the breathalizer. That is unless they have arrested you. If you are arrested and refuse then they can suspend your liscense and all kinds of other stuff.

In VA, if you refuse the breathalizer, you are arrested for DUI then your BAC is tested at the station.
