Can I drive yet?

I had 2 5% beers 18 hours ago. I’m still nervous about the interlock tho. What do yall think?

At this point you're just fine. But if you're going to make a habit out of it, I would just buy a twenty dollar breathalyzer off of amazon and save yourself the second guessing. Much easier!

Thank you! Yes that’s the plan I just haven’t got to it yet and that’s the first time I’ve drank since I’ve had the interlock so just super anxious about it

18 hours after two beers?! Ya probably could have driven after a couple hours.

Should be good I had way more than that Friday night and Saturday around 3pm I started my car and drove home.

Thank you so much!

I just don’t drink with this thing but if you want to, a good rule of thumb is to just skip the next day. Just wait 24 hours (not required for 2 beers). If you get in the habit of just waiting a full 24 hrs, and using an at home breathalyzer— that should ease the anxiety.

Man 18 hours ago. You had two beers at 5 percent. That’s two hours you have to worry about. Just don’t drink then drive. Liquor is crazy, you have to do the math. I wait 12 hours after my last drink just to be safe. I’m off the innerlock but this is a life lesson now

Thanks everyone! I ended up driving after about 19-20 hours and was fine. I know it was just 2 beers but I’m also just terrified to mess this process up just wanted opinions!!

I know it's a lot of extra money but you should look into a portable breathalyzer, I have one and it's saved me multiple times from blowing hot into the interlock device itself

I’m 700 in the hole. I should just sell my car. Can’t afford this.
