The amount of alcohol you can have before the law considers you legally impaired depends on your weight, gender and how long it takes to consume the drink(s). A woman who weighs 100 pounds, for example, can have about two drinks over one hour before becoming too intoxicated to drive. A man who weighs 200 pounds can have four beers over an hour and stay just under the standard blood alcohol content limit of 0.08, according to insure.com. If you want to ensure that alcohol will not make you a hazard on the road, or possibly get you a driving under the influence (DUI) citation, you should not have any alcohol. Blood alcohol content charts are only a guide. Each person has different characteristics that affects alcohol absorption, such as gender and body fat. Ultimately, you should not have any beers and drive because you can never get a true estimate of your blood alcohol content. Drinking on an empty stomach, for example, allows your body to absorb the alcohol faster. In addition, never take medication and alcohol at the same time. Even a single beer can exacerbate the effects of your medication and make your driving abilities impaired.On One Hand: It depends
On the Other: No beer at all
