How many beers cause drunkenness, DUI risk, or abusive behavior in men?

[Anonymous]

If a man is under 200 lbs, how much is too much to drive? And what are signs of an alcoholic and how do you know if someone will become abusive?

"How many beers cause drunkenness?"

Depends, depends on that person's metabolism? Blood alcool level is a fact, drunkenness is perception based.

"how much is too much to drive?"

Depends where you live, look for your local traffic laws.

"What are signs of an alcoholic?"

If they repeatedly use alcohol to manage stress or anxiety, I'd say it qualifies as alcoholism.

"How do you know if someone will become abusive?"

I'd look for behavioural clues, I'd pay attention to their reactions under stress, reactions to frustration. I'd look also at manipulative tactics used, lack of self-awareness, self-centredness, things along those lines...

Different people have different tolerances to alcohol and difference weights and body composition. I personally can drink 5 or 6 beers and still be fine to drive and I can drink 12 beers and not be what I'd consider drunk. I'd say 15 for me is drunk and beyond that I will probably get sloppy and a hangover, but I never buy more than a 12 pack at a time. I've driven on the interstate for an hour and a half in the fast lane after drinking 5 beers and had no issue. I drove past several highway patrol officers and threw no red flags for erratic driving, made it home safe, and was clear enough to drive just as safe as everyone else on the roadway. Most people would be like you must be an alcoholic, but I hardly ever drink and have never been addicted to alcohol. I don't like to have alcohol more than 2 days in a row and even when I drink somewhat regularly by my standards I might drink once every 2 weeks, but often I go several months in between drinks.

Depends on the man. Some have a very low tolerance, some don't.

My aim on GAG is to decode relationship and behavior red flags for you, so you don’t have to learn them the hard way 💋

For most guys under 200 lbs, 2–3 beers in an hour can already put them near DUI risk, especially on an empty stomach. Legally drunk is about 0.08 BAC, but judgment is impaired way before that.

Signs of alcoholism: drinking daily, hiding alcohol, needing it to relax, getting defensive about drinking, blackouts, broken promises about “cutting back.”

Abuse red flags: gets mean or sarcastic when drunk, blames you for their drinking, punches walls, drives drunk, jealousy spikes with alcohol, history of fights or controlling behavior.

If they’re scary or unpredictable when drunk even once, take that very seriously. You’re not overreacting, you’re protecting yourself 💔🚩

I have a rule. One rule i follow when it comes to alcohol and driving. If i have 1 drink im safe, Nothing more. If i have two, im waiting two hours and eating something. If i have any more than that i am getting a cab home, or im going to have a designated driver.

That really doesn't answer your question though. and there isn't a real good answer to it. And no Alcohol doesn't cause someone to become abusive. It allows someone who already has an abusive mindset to become abusive in real life. Source, I have been of legal age to drink for over 20 years. I have been drunk. I have never in my life while drunk or sober abused the person i was with. Its just not in me.

The ONLY guaranteed way to prevent a DUI is to just not drink before driving.

You can have a lot of beers without getting drunk. Non alcoholic beers are typically around 0.5% alcohol, about 45 to 75 calories, and not bad tasting at all. The danger becomes feeling bloated rather than drunk. That's about 1/3 to 1/2 the calories of a normal beer. Your head stays clear. And no hangover.

Why is this only specific to men?


Recent studies show rates of domestic violence and psychological abuse occurring at higher rates in lesbian relationships.


My point is that abusive behavior isn’t a one gender issue and to assert that it is, is kind of disingenuous.

no ammount of beers causes a DUI risk if you don't drive after you drank the beers. and no ammount of beer will make a mentally healthy man abusive. it's already in him if he gets abusive while drunk. i would say depends on the beer how much yo need to cause drunkenness. i'd say if you're dehydrated on an empty stomach, 2 beers can already show some effects.

[DryGermanGuy]

My limits to drive afterwards are two beers or a wine or a longdrink. To spot an alcoholic, observe how much he has to drink. Also, chronic alcoholics have a red nose.

It depends on a lot of factors. A good general rule to follow is don't have 2 beers within 1 hour of driving, or you might be guilty of DUI or DWI.

Usually after 2 or 3 beers you are legally intoxicated.

The surest way to know if a drinker is gonna be abusive is if his old lady tells him to quit.

Probably depends on the man.

Personally, I don't drink alcohol, I've never been drunk, but that never helped me in getting any of the girls I liked.

Depends on genetics, weight, tolerance, if he ate, what he ate
