Been safe so far here. 35% is the legal limit in Washington state, unless it is an SUV, then anywindow except for fronts and the windshield can be 20% I believe. Our skies are always so damn grey the cops probably can't tell how dark it is, lol...

We've been known to enjoy a good road soda or 2 when returning from golf around here...thankfully never got nabbed for that one either!

Yeah, I am almost tempted just to remove my front tint. I have a few to many road sodies some times. Not to many to drive, just to many to cause an issue.

A word to the wise not just biglg. You cannot base your ability to drive by the way you feel after drinking. I know several guys who seem perfectly sober after 9-10 beers because of their tolerance to alcohol they have built up over time. Obviously these guys would be DUI. With most states at .08, it does not take much anymore - so be very careful and educate yourself. Personally I would never drive if I had more than 2 beers or its equivalent. I have been to several MVA's (Motor Vehicle Accidents) while on fire rescue duty and I am amazed how many of these folks are DUI and get dragged off to jail that seemed perfectly sober. Have fun, but Drink responsibly.

Agree. Depending on size and metabolism, 2-3 brewskis in one hour can blow a 0.08 or higher. Be careful out there.

I understand guys. Buy my personal point was that I dont like to drive even after 1, or maybe 2 beers! That is why usually we havea sober driver! Anyways, I am just saying that if I do drive I will not have more than 2 beerz! I dont even like to drive then, but if I do, or have to I dont want to get pulled over for my tint!

As for the size, tolerance, weight, etc of what it would take for the legal limit. It is really amazing what it takes on some people. An old retired hiway patrol worked for me when I managed a golf store. The golf store just kept him busy part time!He was a very small guy, but liked his beer. He participated in some drinking tests, see how many beers it took to blow over the legal limit in an hour. Then they continued to drink for many more hours seeing what pace they had to continue to drink to stay at or slightly above the .08. I dont remember exactly what he said, however it was a lot higher than I would have imagined.

But not to let this give someone the wrong idea. It does vary person to person! I particularly dont/wont drive unless I have only had 1 or 2. I just dont want to get stopped because of tint! I am a paranoid person and would still be worried that even the 1 or 2 would get me into trouble.
