How much should you drink if you are driving? There is no set answer, simply because people react differently to alcohol. While one lager might not affect some people, it may make someone else completely drunk.

It is best to have a designated driver, who will not drink anything – it is the only sure way to ensure safety while you are out drinking, you never know how much will be too much for you, or when you will go over the limit.
