How many margaritas can I drink without being caught DUI in California?
Lets say I drink an X number of margaritas and then wait an hour without drinking/eating anything. What would that number approximately be? I weigh 160 pounds and have VERY fast metabolism :) ...

When you start on your second Margarita, you are flirting with a dui….typically after two margaritas and given your weight, I would say 1 hour. I read some of the "dont drink and drive " answers and I think we all get that. What my friend is asking is how much can he drink. My answer is 1 and drive, more than 1 then allow 1 hour after your second. The problem you may run into is you may have a third and then you need to wait even longer. There is no perfect formula.
0 buy a mix and drink at home and quit driving while drinking.
Lets say you drink X number of margaritas and then you call a cab……you won’t have to worry about DUI at all!
None.
Don’t drive, take a cab, then you can drink as many as
you want.
Ponder this….
Say you drink X number of margaritas, drive, and then only kill X number of people on the highway on your way home, possibly your self, or you get lucky enough to live through it and spend your life behind bars for vehicular homocide……
Is it all really worth it!????
Drink at home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SAVE YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I live in California can you call and warn me when you’re on the streets.Don’t drink and drive seriously you could harm some one
or yourself.
If you spent one hour drinking two STANDARD margaritas, then waited one hour without drinking any alcohol at all you would probably be safely below the legal limit.
I agree with the others, though. Is it worth the risk? Drink at home, take a cab or have a DD along with you.

Zero-any alcohol in your system (or drugs, both legal and illegal) can get you ticketed/arrested. Any impairment is chargeable, which is subjective but the law is the law. While the legal limit is .08 for a DUI, "driving while impaired" is also a crime, so .01 is enough.
Also, if you misjudge a light, lose control or in any other way cause damage or injury, a civil attorney suing for damages (and there are plenty of them here in Cali) would go after everything you have even if you had one drink 1 hour before driving. Think the jury would care you have a fast metabolism?
I lost five friends in just over a year as a HS Senior-if you are going to drink, don’t drive. If you have to have a definition of "X" in your answer, it would be 1 WITH food and then no alcohol for over an hour-not eating throws the metabolism off. That said, is it worth it?
One with a large meal and some time gone by might be ok. Anything other than one and you are pushing it.
The thing is that here in California even if you are below .08 you can still get into a lot of trouble!
Your best bet is stay at home and have a blast and don’t even worry about driving! It’s cheaper too!
Other than that walk, take a cab, take the bus, get a disginated driver etc.
My friend just got a dui and it cost him over $12k!
ANY cab ride is cheaper than $12K!
