It is NOT a definate no no, at least according to the law.
I do agree that it is a de facto "no-no" however

That's actually not correct.KBCraig wrote:The legal standard for carrying is that the licensee not be "intoxicated". A BAC detectable as >0.0 does not constitute "intoxicated".T3hK1w1 wrote:I would comment that a glass of wine is probably enough to show up on a blood alcohol test, and is therefore a definite no-no while carrying.
Intoxicated, in reality, is whatever an officer says it is. You can fight it in court though
If an officer can explain why he feels you were intoxicated, you're pretty much in trouble.§ 49.01. DEFINITIONS. In this chapter:
(2) "Intoxicated" means:
(A) not having the normal use of mental or physical faculties by reason of the introduction of alcohol, a controlled substance, a drug, a dangerous drug, a combination of two or more of those substances, or any other substance into the body; or
(B) having an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more.
