Health- I wasn’t going to respond to your post, I don’t like when the banter gets petty.
However there are some remarkable issues with your comments:
1- do I walk or take taxi/buses everywhere? Hmm… Do you? If I’m too inebriated to drive, I simply don’t. I’m responsible enough to do that, without having to reference a ratio chart of body weight to ounces of 80 proof liquor consumed. Do you also sometimes throw empty stomach vs full stomach into the equation? That’s also a dangerous game. Also, why would I need to take alternative transport EVERYWHERE? Are you suggesting I smoke ALL DAY long? It’s ok, I am mochel 🙂
2- further to the point above, being able to pass a breathalyzer does NOT mean you can operate a vehicle safely. Its simply the threshold set by law under which you can not be severely penalized for driving while intoxicated. But if you commit a traffic violation as a result of having a slightly dulled mind because the shul ran out of mezonos rolls that day and you’re really feeling that .04% blood alcohol level buzz this morning- you theoretically are guilty on that level. It’s all a matter of personal maturity and responsibility- teach THAT to your kids.
Why do I feel like more ppl will be mad about the mezonos rolls than anything else I said today?
