I don't drink and carry off my property, but it has more to do with the fact that I won't drive after I've had a beer. While I wouldn't be "intoxicated" in the legal sense, the last thing I want is to get pulled over and have the cop smell the residual beer on my breath. Thus, because I don't go anywhere after a beer, I don't "drink and carry" while under the auspices of my CHL. (I DO always have a gun on me, though, so in that sense, I do "drink and carry," albeit at home.)

If I wasn't the driver, I'd quite readily have ONE beer, and not worry about it. But then, I never drink more than one a day, don't go to bars, and generally go for 3 days to over a week between beers at home. I've working on a 6-pack I bought a week and a half ago, and I'm barely chilling the third one right now.
