Let’s keep it simple. If you’ve had two pints, hand over your keys. Not to your drunk mate, obviously. To a designated driver. Or order a taxi. Or use that ride-sharing app you keep meaning to download.
Better yet, alternate every pint with a pint of water. Your future self—and your bladder—will thank you. And you’ll wake up without that parched-mummy feeling.
Ultimately, the best answer is a humble one: I don’t know, and I won’t risk it. That’s the only safe bet. Now, let’s order another round of soft drinks and call it a win. Your wallet, your freedom, and your dignity will all show up for breakfast tomorrow.
