well I agree with the law in your state - that is serious - we don't drink and drive any more - used to, to be honest, when we were younger - "but I only had a beer" kind of thing - but then we realised one day that we did take the wheel the night before when we were a bit iffy and it scared us - we could have injured someone or worse, and none of us could have lived with it - now, we make sure we let enough time pass to evacuate all the alcohol from our system - we make sure we measure our intake.
in 1 liter of 12 % alcohol wine - if we get half a bottle each it means about 5 points (1 bottle is not 1liter it's 0.75l) - it takes 1 hour for the alcohol to start going through our system, then 5 hours to evacuate completely => we don't drive for 6 hours after we started drinking.
we know also that if we take more than 8 points, from then it's 1.5 hours per point we have to wait - so if we take 7 points, then we have to wait 8 hours, but if we take 9 points, then we have to wait 13 and a half hours because the body can only easily evacuate 8 points but then it starts struggling.
we usually calculate very wide to make sure none of it is left.
