I suspect most jurisdictions have something similar on the books.

Well frick - that's something I didn't know. I figured that would be perfectly ok to be honest. If I'm ever planning to have a few to drink, I stay over at my buddy's house so it hasn't been an issue, but I always figured that was a good safety net.
