Have any of you ever spent 30 days in the hole for drinking two beers? Well, I have -- twice -- and I'm not going down again without a fight. The legal BAC (blood-alcohol-content) in some states, including Texas, at which you are considered too impaired to drive, is .08%. That's about 3 regular beers or two tall boys, depending on your weight. For example, a 220-pound man can generally tolerate twice as much alcohol as a 110-pound female. And I weigh about 140 pounds, so 2 tall boys does it for me. And despite what MADD says, most studies and most states say you are not impaired until your BAC reaches .1%. So I have started a movement to legalize 2 beers (in Texas and wherever MADD has caused the legal BAC to be lowered to .08). Basically I am defending an age-old Texas tradition of stopping for a couple beers after work dating from the days of Stephen F Austin. The first writing, found in Mesopotamia (also called the Cradle of Civilization and the Garden of Eden in the Bible) says (when translated into English) "fermented red grapes + barley + hops" which is an early recipe for beer (before brewer's yeast was discovered and eventually replaced the fermented grapes). Grapes were plentiful in the Garden of Eden but the barley and hops had to be cultivated -- which led to the first farming --which led to the first civilization. In other words, modern man arrived on the scene, not because of our opposable thumbs or the discovery of fire, etc., but because of the discovery of beer. And I have a medical prescription for two beers daily and without beer I would waste away and die. (See my website, legalize2beers.com). So for several reasons I am fighting back against MADD and the current prohibition movement. Anyone with me on this? Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
