Uh huh. Buzzed is drunk. There is no difference. Your judgment is clouded, your reaction time is inhibited, and normal social inhibitions are lossened even when buzzed. If you can't drive you are drunk. And yes years of living with it as a child and then becoming one makes me pretty darn smart where alcohol and being drunk is concerned.

Back in your drinking days, if you had 3 beers in 3 hours (no shots) would you consider yourself buzzed? -

Here is a simple answer to that TND ....
Just don't drink! -
And that, RD2, is the answer back to you.
When I admitted to the disorder and agreed to have it treated adequately (by one of the few psychiatrists at the VA who actually knows what he's doing), the issue I had with alcohol went away. I still waited about 20 years, after 27 years of abstinence, before I took the risk of drinking again. It would be impossible for anyone to say I abuse alcohol today, especially given the caution I engaged before trying it again.
You refer to "buzzed" in the same way a current public service campaign uses it. What the teen/young adult anti-drinking-and-driving ad campaign is saying -- "Buzzed is drunk" -- may be an effective message that gets young, dumb irresponsible drinkers to think about it before they do it. The reality is, the message is completely false, because it implies that a single drink, or two, makes one "buzzed." That's nonsense.
"Buzzed" or "drunk" depends on a variety of factors that vary greatly from person to person, such as body weight, alcohol tolerance, total intake, and a host of factors that the ad campaign and you apparently choose to ignore. As you and others do, apparently, that everyone who drinks has an intent to "feel the buzz." Total garbage.
Facts are facts. You have opinions. There's a difference. -
It is not illegal to drink and then drive. It is illegal to drive while impaired. In most states you are presumed to be impaired at a .08%. The reality is that some people become impaired at less and some can handle more.
The "average" person will become about a .02% - .03% from a standard drink and will neutralize about one drink per hour. -
