Wrong. Your body rids itself of about an ounce of alcohol per hour.. hence the rule of thumb for drinking and driving that almost EVERY bar tender can give you.

After a woman has one standard drink…

If she weighs 100 pounds, she will have a Blood Alcohol Content of 0.05. If she drinks it over one hour, she will have a BAC of 0.03, and if she drinks it over two hours, she will have a BAC of 0.01. Only after three hours will she have a BAC of 0.00.

If she weighs 150 pounds, she will have a Blood Alcohol Content of 0.03. If she drinks it over one hour, she will have a Blood Alcohol Content of 0.01, and after two hours, she will have a BAC of 0.00.

If she weighs 200 pounds, she will have a Blood Alcohol Content of 0.02. If she drinks it over one hour, she will have a Blood Alcohol Content of 0.008, and after two hours, she will have a Blood Alcohol Content of 0.00.

So after just one drink, even larger women take around two hours for their BAC to return to zero.

Please, just stop digging your hole.

The human body metabolizes alcohol at the rate of .015 BAC per hour. For a person with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08, the standard for legal drunkenness, it's going to take over five hours for their system to metabolize that alchohol (0.08 divided by .015 = 5.3333).

The lady was described as having a slight odor of alcohol on her breath. Apparently, no field evidence of impairment was presented. She blew zero how many hours later? Certainly not five hours later. So, she was not legally drunk at the time she was detained by the officer.
