It's smarter to not drive at night. Bottomline.

It's simple math, though isn't it ?
1 pint of Guiness = 3 units of alcohol.
x 2 = 6 units of alcohol.
+ 2 bar measures of Whiskey; probably 2 each (1 unit of alcohol for spirits is one UK measure of approx. 1/16 Gill), as someone who has drunk extensively on both sides of the pond I can tell you US free-poured measures are literally twice what they are in the UK, so that's another 4 units of alcohol, giving 10 in all. A healthy buzz and no mistake.
You were there for 2 1/2 hours, so even assuming you had consumed it all instantly, then let your liver process 1 unit per hour, that's still 10 - 2.5 = 7.5 units of alcohol in you when you left. That's the lower limit, let's average it out to 8.5 units.
That's too much to get into a car and drive with. Anyone would feel a buzz from that even if they were having a 'quiet' drink where emotions and behavior were 'business like' and not focussed around being drunk, and being drunk wasn't the topic of conversation.
What state was this in ?- 2 pints of Guinness and 2 shots? Mate come on. You tipsy!rosskemp
