How Many Beers to a .08 | Miller Lite 4.2% 

This is the type of thing youtube was made for quality content right here.

Officer: Have you been drinking tonight, sir? Me: Yup…6 Miller Lites. Officer: ok, you’re free to go. I saw the video.

A breathalyzer that gives you fortune cookie wisdom. Awesome.

Dude, my brother in law is a police officer that gets to bring his squad car home. One thing we’ve done a number of times is bring his breathalyzer in the house during holidays to see where we’re at. One Thanksgiving I’d drank 8 Heinekens over about a 6 hour time span, and was still legal. When the kids went to bed, we started drinking moonshine, and things went south from there.

Absorption time can range from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours. If you stopped drinking at 5 beers, you would likely break .08 after giving it 45 minutes or so

People texting and driving scares me more than the guy who drinks 3 beers after work.

Waiting 15 minutes between light beers sounds like a very mediocre night

Go for a drive and see how you do

In the middle of a bender at home, I had to run a series of critical errands so I had to sober for the drive and interactions. I stopped drinking for 12 hours and felt normal. I had a meter like yours and checked quick before heading out the door, I was at .23 still. I'm just coming up on my 10 year chip these days.

9am and now I feel like drinking beer...

Hard night of work but someones gotta do it! Lol 🍺

2 important variables: How much did you weigh when you drank the beers & did you drink on a full stomach?

i love small youtube channels, they're real and pure af. ur a great example

Beware of personal breathalysers, not calibrated. I bought 2 identical ones, the difference back to back was huge.

The BAC is dependent on the amount of alcohol at a specific concentration by volume, your body weight, how long between each beer and how much you have metabolized out of your blood while waiting on the next one, and what is in your stomach to slow absorption. That’s why it’s not linear.

The 15 minute pauses are critical to the results. After the 1st beer it said he'd be sober in 1 hour 36 minutes, which means that first beer had been completely processed by the end of the test.

Body weight is an important factor in determining intoxication but also tolerance, how much you have eaten and your metabolism rates are also important factors.

it would have been really fdunny at the end if you were like, "Alright, I'll see you guys later, I gotta go pick up my kids" or something lmao.

He's not drinking too slow, he's following the directions of the breathalyzer. You're supposed to wait a certain amount of minutes (I think it's 15-20) after the last drink you had to get the most accurate reading of BAC.

Do bong rips next

The police breathalyzer probably would read .19 lmao

You should try and see how many Bud Lights until you're fabulous.

I usually drink on mostly empty stomach. Once I eat dinner it's over, can't get a buzz again unless I slam multiple shots. Beer usually doesn't do the job I just do that to maintain

Awe man 4 miller lites is what got me a dui. I guess being only 150lbs has it's drawbacks. Blew .09, felt plenty sober...

My Mother in law says it takes 12 beers.

2:51 Breathalyzer: "You're so blitzed you're dancing with your dog to the Footloose theme."

Doing gods work here brother. Godspeed to you.

Yeah, you metabolize over time so the longer you wait the more beers you need. Chug a 6 pack then test after 15 minutes.

Many years ago when i was in my 30's i was a big 290 lb muscled up dude. Once I drank 3 miller bottles in a hour, waited for 30 minutes and got a ride to the local copshop and they tested me at .000, results will vary on body size and metabolism.

Sounds about right. The rule I remember is that one 12 oz beer will put you around .02, and your body metabolizes approximately one drink in about an hour. So .09 after seven beers in two hours adds up.

I did that at a bar and got this awesome little apparatus installed in my car that I have to blow into to drive, spent a night in jail, had to go to 60 hours of alcohol classes, and 30 hours community service and I weighed 202lbs!

When I was 17 my friend and I would drive an hour to the city to go to the 16 plus "dance party" at a roller rink. We would usually take shots and stuff before but this one time we poured a full liter of captain morgan silver into two half full big gulps and chugged them down. It kicked in while we were in the line and by the time we got in we were smashed! Went to the floor and started dirty dancing. He lasted about one song and spent the rest of the night puking in the bathroom. I danced my ass off for a few hours and had a blast. Then I had to drive us home an hour away with one headlight out. Got all the way back to town and got pulled over like 9 blocks away from our houses. I blew a .03 which would have been fine if I was 21, but I lost my license for 30 days for getting a "minor while driving". Varsity athletes can metabolize alcohol at alarming rates haha.

I did that for my high school science fair project

Very cool video. The company definitely owes ya one!!! Subscribed.

Thank you sir for your contribution to man, and science.

I’m 15 beers in. Don’t feel any euphoria at all…

i'm just happy to see i'm not the only one banging down 6 or 7 miller lights a night!

The sales of this product is going to SKYROCKET lol

I’ve been on RU-vid since its inception and I finally have what I’ve been waiting for all these years.

How do you wait 15 min for another? That’s called discipline.

I drank an 18 pack of Busch Light in maybe 3-4 hours, ate 2 big plates of food, along with a Pepsi or 2, and then drove home and got pulled over for a taillight out. I passed the roadside breathalyzer. Cop let me go. This was in 1999, along route 52 in southern Ohio. The food and 2 Pepsi's helped. It was a lot of food.

This was surprisingly entertaining. Thank you.

Drinking Miller Lite. You really took one for the team, bro!

If I drank 7 beers, even lite, I'd be hammered. No doubt.

Haha I love this. "loss of shyness" as he dances around with a fluffy dog to country music. lmfaooo

I wanna see Shane Gillis do this at the end of a protect our parks episode

Drinking beer for science. Couldn't think of a better reason myself.

You metabolize about .02 an hour. A typical beer or glass of wine or drink with one oz of alcohol will bump you up .02. Watery light beer slightly less. So the results of this are about right. Food intake can affect absorption tho. As far as the effects, tolerance is a thing but even for the tolerant reaction times suffer.

but if you drank 4 beers in the first 30 minutes you would've gotten to 0.08

Back in my drinking days, one of my friends bought a dozen Breathalyzers (a bigger unit then this with replaceable plastic tips) and gave them to all of us. We would basically take them to the bars and see who could get the highest score lol

In college a friend got pulled over and blew a .08 was arrested for dui. Went to court and his lawyer demanded to see the certificate of calibration on the breathalyzer machine. The certificate date was past due. The judge threw his case out.

“You are likely dancing to Kenny Loggins at this point”

I'm drinking Miller Lite right now. I had to click!

Great video, imo you were buzzed the second you started dancing with the puppy, Lol

Great content idea !!

If your only drinking 1 beer every 30-45 min your doing it wrong. Or with family.

Im gonna use this video in court after i get arrested for drinking 6 beers then getting pulled over

See that seems about fair. I could sip a bottle of wine all day long and not wind up drunk but the second one is a knock over. lol

Brings new meaning to the phrase "your mileage may vary".

Mr. Lahey would be proud

This is how I know I’m a lightweight. 2-3 and I’m feeling sloshed.

Great info!

When me and my buddies were 17 we were hanging out when our other friend got off work, he worked at Walgreens so he got a breathalyzer. After me and my buddy had been drinking a bit, he gets there and he whips that out and our eyes widen like we’re kids and the biggest candy store in the world was in front of us. It was show time. I was only drinking miller lite and got a high score of .18 before I called it quits. My buddy finished with a .19 (pretty sure he beat me out because he had taken a shot of fireball like 30 seconds prior so it was fresh on his breathe) good times

Keep it at 0.12 … right in the fuckin slot!

Now that is some great content right there my friend…….

Give it an hour no drinking and blow again you may be surprised the bac may still rise. Also that is a super cheap tool and you are probably higher than the readings. You also can get a dui at below that “magic number”. Good content video

His size and weight is a factor. Consider it is a percentage of alcohol in your blood. Large people have more blood so a lower percentage. It doesn't mean they are not impaired by the alcohol however. Seasoned drinkers can blow .08 and show little or no signs that they even had a drop where someone having their first drink might fall over. And alcohol in your system dissipates over time obviously.

I also have my own personal breathalyzer, but it reacts a little differently than yours. Mine called me an idiot and said I should have gotten an Uber.

No "Tears" in his Beer! Lol Great Job

These light beers are just basically water now. I drank 12 Michelob Ultras Friday night and was the sober person at the poker table

It depends on many factors body weight how fast you drink each one mainly eating before starting to drink beer will take more to blow over

This is the fucking science I'm here for.

Glad somebody finally answered this question definitively 😂

A lot of things come into play. Empty vs full stomach, body weight, male vs female, altitude, etc. Unfortunately, it's not cut and dry, but the rule of thumb is 0.02 per average drink.

Your bac is going to continue for some time. Would have been interesting to see it peak and come back down in 15 minute incraments

Nice! Light beer isn't always less in alcohol, just less in calories. Alcohol hits quick, but also starts wearing off pretty fast. It would be fun to see what it reads the next morning, if anything at all.

So many questions. This is great. Drinking for science. Thanks for submitting yourself to such torture 😂

The body digests about a beer per hour. You’re drinking kind of slower if you’re drinking one beer and waiting 15 mins and then breathalysing. You’re probably getting in 3 light beers an hour which is enough for a buzz but not super duper drunk

Keep in mind that once you stopped, your body was still metabolizing the beer sloshing around inside you. I’d wager your BAC continued to rise for some time before it came down.

Pretty cool!! I can somewhat gauge my drinking when I hit the bars provided I'm drinking light beers.

Thanks for the video.

I'm going to try this myself. I have a feeling that your BAC keeps going up even after you stop drinking because the alcohol takes longer to get into your system. I'll be curious to take a few tests in 15 minute increments after I stop drinking to see if it keeps climbing or goes down (and how quickly).

My friend got kicked out of a bar in Orlando for basically using one of these devices as a game. That’s a bar I would not go to.

Excellent video

Absolutely love this ,my kind of channel. Made me laugh out loud right with you. Hit the like 10 seconds into this. Love it. 😂👍.

It's crazy you can go out to a bar and slam 6 beers in a couple hours and immediately drive yourself home legally.

I drank three of those. But they were the sixteen ounce twist cans in two hours. I had a .04. The person that I was with had a real test. She is an officer.

ur so wholesome, i love ur channel dude

Interesting video, well done. I did this at a media event with local police many moons ago. At 185 pounds, we figured my .08 limit was four light beers over two hours and probably max six over four hours. So many other factors though. Weight of individual, food in stomach to slow digestion, amount of alcohol in each beer, tiredness and time all have a bearing... and some people, depending on their health and tolerance, would fail a road sobriety test and be too intoxicated to drive safely well before the .08 mark. Since then, Ontario started pulling people off the road at .05, giving them a "warning" with a 3-day license suspension and $250 fine (plus a couple hundred bucks for court costs). At .08, it's criminal charges, longer suspensions and car impound costs, and the penalties multiply after each incident. There's also an expensive breath test ignition system you have to pay for as well. At 160 pounds, one light beer an hour (maxed at 4) is now my limit.

"Loss of shyness and slight euphoria." That sounds great!

Remember, don’t drink and drive. You might hit a bump and spill your drink.

I am not a lawyer but I would not trust that

It takes the liver approximately 1 hour to process a standard beer. So if you drink 4 beers in an hour your liver will need at least one more hour until you blow. It will only take a couple beers to put you over .08. If you tested yourself an hour later you would be well over .1

According to my 5'5" 105lb boss reaction, around 2-2.5

Drinking that much piss water for a video was brave. Thank you for your sacrifice 😂

dudes a real scientist

Great video

Get this man some keys
