I currently consider SOTU speeches responsible for binge drinking.

Sounds like the basis for the new “Liberal Nanny State” drinking game!

"this level of drinking would typically raise blood alcohol levels to 0.08 percent and make a person legally impaired to drive"? Ummm...noted. But at what point would the person who has "an after-work cocktail plus a few glasses of wine during dinner, followed by a digestif or nightcap" be inclined to operate a motor vehicle?
On the way from the dining room to the living room?

Bump for later, when at an appropriate time at the end of the workday, I can comment from a knowledgeable perspective.

CDC: If You Drink Enough to Enjoy It, You've Had Too Much - I drink enough to get drunk, then I drink some more, how about that CDC?
drinking at that level is associated with a number of health hazards, including car accidents, injuries, violence and risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease.
Well, that's basically the fun of it, except for the car accidents, I'm not into general mayhem, I like it more focused.

On the way from the dining room to the living room? LOL. I'm picturing someone driving around their house in one of those scooters that elderly people use. :)

I belong to an Italian Citizens Club. If I don’t have four beers in front of me by 7:00. Someone is a cheap bastard.

Yesterday was my gf’s birthday.
We met up at a bar after work and I had two beers.
Then I took her to dinner where we shared a bottle of wine with our meal.
I am a bad American.

I’ve always wanted to belong to a club like that.

I am a firm believer in moderate drinking which is why I like to get mine in by noon.

Sounds to me like there is a BIG alcohol tax coming. For our own good of course.
