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.

You write: “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.”

You may remember the officer indicated she said she had a “sip of wine” at the dinner. Her statement is she never had anything to drink. Sounds to me like it is probable she did have a small drink, a small glass of wine, that could have had way less than one ounce of alchohol in it; maybe as little as .25 ounce. In that case in way less than an hour she would be at 0.00 by your own link calculations.

I am amazed out how many outraged people there are over a cop doing his job.

I will say it again: ALL WOMEN want to believe the reason they were stopped by an officer is because of their beauty and not their ineptness behind the wheel....
