Somehow, this shirt is supposed to promote underage drinking. The article doesn’t explain it, nor the weird spelling of “puschin’”. I guess I’m too old to get it.

I think .08 must be the legal limit for blood alcohol in their state...so the shirt refers to being almost at the limit for drunk driving.

Don’t know if “pusch” is a play on “Busch” or if they just thought the spelling was cool, or if there’s some local slang involved there. It could actually be teen slang I’m not aware of...

.08% BAC is prima facie evidence of DUI in most jurisdictions. My guess is that “puschin’” is meant to approximate someone who is drunk and slurring his words.
