I know this varies state to state, but I need some advice on making a determination.

Is it legal to drive with a NA beer??

The PA code states that it is illegal to drive with an alcoholic beverage, but does not define the term.

And of course.......NA beer can have "up to" a half percent of alcohol......but who knows how much it REALLY has.

Well, unless you drink a 12 pack in an hour, you should be able to pass the tests, no?

Sorry, retrack my last statement. Actually drinking while I post, could be the problem, maybe the only time I make sense.

Andy- Come to Florida, well defined here, if you even look at a beer and drive, you are over the limit.

^so as long as I have less than seventy empty NA cans in my car I can claim that there is no feasible way that I could be impaired, right?
