It figures that my favorite thing to do when I’m drinking is go shopping (and spin around, but nevermind that). How do I know if I’m too drunk to drive? How come I don’t live closer to the mall, I’d walk. lol

You know by the amount you have drank and your past experience. Walk it off or see a movie before driving. Common sense and a half intelligent outlook should provide enough wisdom to make the legal choice.
Um, well you could always buy a breathalyzer if you really want to. Pretty sure you can still get them for under $50 on Amazon.
Or you can use your judgment. You can find BAC charts on the internet that give you an approximation of what your BAC will be, depending on your gender and bodyweight, after X number of standard drinks. This, of course, is only an approximation. Generally, an adult male of average bodyweight will be at or around the .08 driving limit after 4 standard drinks. A woman could easily be at the limit after only 2 drinks depending on her bodyweight.

It figures that your favorite thing to do when your drinking is go shopping. “Not living closer to the mall” was the clue. Another clue is , you have apparently been getting away with driving there after drinking, and have not been D.U.I. convicted. Stop that crazy crap now, you’ll REALLY pay for it when it when you do get pulled over, trust me! Especially if you have an accident and cause death to someone else, or serious bodily injury! Think about the other options to get to the mall, and the sad one’s if your drinking and driving, PLEASE!

Only for sure way is to buy a breathalyzer….Other than that you could have a friend judge your awareness
Or you can focus really hard and drive…but avoid highways and trips more than 5-10min. Sometimes you don’t know how bad you are until you are behind the wheel (not that I know from experience)
But usually when someone is drunk but extremely focused they can drive equally to someone who is sober and not paying attention/multitasking
I think the biggest risk is being tired…tired and drunk is exponentially worse….so make sure you leave w/ a few cups of coffee in your system
If u had one beer or whatever drink containing alcahol it’s dangerous because even if you feel ok and you get pulled over and they check you your pretty much screwed because remember that driving drunk is the same as a bit drunk so be real careful.

If you’ve had more than two beers or one mixed drink — you’re most likely to be too drunk to drive.

Yes, the horse could trample someone. Unlikely, but not outside the realm of possibility. Seen that twilight zone episode? The one about the magic dust? You must pay heed to the magic!
You are drunk Jace, go home.
