I think a beer or glass of wine with dinner is acceptable for some people who DD.
Personally, when I DD, I make sure we go to places where I can get a good cup of coffee or iced tea, and just enjoy those beverages instead. Though a person could figuratively blow .06 on a Breathalyzer in Oregon and be let go, most cops in this town take a zero tolerance stance on DUI, and will ticket you with whatever they can if you blow anything but .00. Being wise, I stick to non-alcoholic beverages.
I don't have to DD often, though, because during the school year we have a night bus service on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday for students, free with university ID (and our IDs never expire, yay). I haven't used it yet, as our town is very walkable and/or cabs are cheap. But it's good to know it's there, for when we do go downtown.
