Driving and drinking obviously don't gel and the sensible rule is not to drink at all if driving, or not to drive at all if drinking. Thus you won't be at the wheel of a 60mph 3,000lb missile with impaired judgment, reactions, and so on.
But what about concealed carry? Firearms carry a similarly grave responsibility to cars. Do you leave your weapon at home when going out to drink, or limit yourself to a certain amount, or go dry? I wouldn't entirely trust myself with that sort of responsibility with intoxication, but then again you're more likely to need self-defence at 1am in a town centre with rowdy bastards swilling about than 2pm when popping to the shops. What's the received wisdom?
