At this point in time I could not walk a straight line. It’s a pain thing that doesn’t prevent me from driving but from being able to walk straight unassisted. I use a shopping cart to buy one or two items. Hope I am never asked to prove my sobriety in that fashion.
cop pulls up behind a couple of fellas drinking and driving- the driver says “Quick, take the labels off the bottles and stick them to your forehead”
The cop pulls them over, walks up to the car and says “Have you fellas been drinking”?
The driver says “Nope- No siree- not us- (points to the label stuck to his forehead and continues) See? We’re on the patch
[[Her case was dismissed, leaving her free to drive without restrictions,]]
How can she drive if She’s drunk? The alcohol must be making her drunk?
[[Marusak told Buffalo News: She can register a blood alcohol content that would have you or I falling down drunk, but she can function.]]
It appears she can’t as she was weaving all over the road
alcohol impairs driving abilities regardless of the source. sounds to me that she has a medical condition that precludes her from operating a motor vehicle or machinery
That’s a disease I never heard of. I suppose she has to be very careful what she eats, knowing most carbs can serve as a basis for making alcohol.
Cheap date. Don’t have to ply her with scads of booze. She comes pre-lit.
If true, pull her license.
I don’t care why the alcohol was in her bloodstream, only that it was - and in sufficient quantity to make her legally impaired. Somehow, I just don’t think that I would feel any better if she careened into a family member or friend and killed or maimed them, knowing that she “wasn’t drinking.” Being impaired, in any way, is all that is important.
Frankly, she HAD to have known of this condition beforehand, even if she couldn’t put a name to it. Yet she got into a car and drove ANYWAY. To Hell with her, she knew the risk and drove anyway - toss her in jail.
She should not EVER be on the road if she has a blood alcohol level of the limit wherever she is, or higher. If she stays on her low-carb diet and keeps her internal booze factory largely shut down, then she can drive.
