Carol Ries, 50, was pulled over after she rear-ended another vehicle at a red light on January 9. She passed one breathalyzer test, but failed another that used different equipment.

3 glasses of Listerine? That's nothing. Anybody here know about Dr. Tichenor's? It's been made in New Orleans for the last 100 years or so, and is still fairly popular among black folks as an all-purpose home remedy. It's a concentrated antiseptic often used as a mouthwash--but you're supposed to dilute it first with water, in a 5 to 1 ratio. That's how strong it is. I once made the mistake of trying to use it as mouthwash straight out of the bottle. Thought I was going to die. If there's a saloon in hell, it's serving straight shots of Dr. T.
By the way, the company that makes this sulphurous stuff has decided to take a page out of the Altoids marketing book and launch an ad campaign trading on Dr. T's ferocious flavor. The company's new slogan is "Gargle. Wince. Repeat."

Hey, I remember Dr. Tichenor's. My grandmother used to use it. She lived in "New Awlins."
But she didn't drink it! ; >
And a MOUTH totally devoid of any senses. ;o)
So then, when he was driving his BAC was legal, and he could (in principle) make the case that he would have arrived home before his BAC rose to an illegal level.
Thats funny, good one.
