Hey I have no problem with someone who isn't drunk drinking while driving it's no different than drinking an actual soda while driving if you're still legally sober. He asked opinion on it and I think it's probably more fact than opinion that it's completely fucktarded and makes no sense to risk getting some sort of violation (I'm assuming a serious one but it could be mild and thus making it less fucktarded) because you enjoy it and can't wait to drink til you get home.

Ya but it's one of those subjects that is obviously controversial. Too many people have been affected by drinking and driving, whether it be the actual person, friends or family. Obviously having a beer doesn't equal drunk but it's a slippery slope with certain people. People who talk about drinking and driving are usually young people bragging about doing it to friends, (or I guess now, the internet), usually searching for attention. While I don't see anything wrong with having one or two while driving, I don't see the point with our laws. Risking open bottle and depending on when your last sip was, possible DUI, seems to me, in poker terms, a -ev decision long term.

agreed its a very tough subject but I think OP was reffering to causal drinks while soaking it all in on the road which im cool with. Getting behind the wheel intoxicated is not cool and have taken keys away and gotten in a couple fights over this. I know this prolly seems retarded but there def is a huge line between buzzed and tooned. As an high trained individual in this subject and one that comes from a small town (Where DUIS are more prevalant because often neccesaryas there is no form of transportation) I think it really is player depenedant but not that bad IMO. FWIW isnt it a fact that people that text and drive are more dangerous than drunks?? Swear i heard that one one of the text and drive campaigns

Road Sodas, Yep everyone I know calls them travellers. I don't have a problem with them as long as the driver hasn't been drinking them.
We have had them many times over the years. Going to BBQ's or to the Golf Course.
The only problem here is the law states no open liquor, beer or wine in the vehicle. Can't remember how much the ticket is. Not worth the hassle anyway.

Seems hugely -ev

I dont drink anymore but when I did.i drank road sodas

its definitely not worth the risk

My pops and I enjoy a beer and a joint on the 20 minute ride into DC to watch the caps play. He's usually driving and supplying the booze, if he's willing to risk his license I'm obv cool with it.

my dad does it, and i do it. usually its on the way to somewhere where ill be getting drunk like a baseball game or bbq. Always have 2 or 3 on the way to cardinals games. or if ive been drinking at my house and im like 1 or 2 in and going to a bar or something, i might have one on the way. not a big deal imo. never do it on holidays tho when theres a good chance for checkpoints or getting pulled over, still dont mind my friends doing it in my car while im driving tho.

^^ Re: breaking the seal. I just finished my third pint and am about to head home on the subway lets hope shit don't get dicey. Also I got 3 beers for price of 1 and tipped 100% so technically I got 3 for 2

Ugh shrub I hate that mentality my buddy is a huge pothead and would hot box his car to fuck but god forbid I had a beer on route to a concert or rave. But as they say different strokes for diff folks.

i didnt know what a roadsoda was but after reading this thread i think i might have had a roadsoda problem in the past

dont really consume the roadsodas so much anymore...unless im on the way home from work

Please list these 1234567890 things more dangerous the drinking while driving.

Only on dirt roads that lead to the mountain, river or lake

Are you MADD sheep really that upset about *passengers* drinking roadies? It's still a road soda, even if you aren't driving. And they're awesome. I wish it was still legal for passengers to drink.
