You just know the ambulance chasing vultures are circling. They will probably try and find an angle to sue the city for not blocking off the streets well enough.

That .BAC sure measured a lot of Hurricane drinks. And bingo on those vulture lawyers going after the city since they have deeper taxpayer money than that kid could ever earn in his lifetime.

Sorry but a 25 year old drunk is not a "kid." They should throw the book at this a--hole.

[SkyDancer]

Okay, not a kid but I get your point.

Light weight I walked into an ER with a .37 bac two days after my last drink

I'm sure they will. Can't have drunk drivers messing up one of the major yearly cash cows.

In other words, testing found blood in his alcohol stream.

Endymion Is well insured.

The city will not be in the hook.

I used to work the midnight-8AM shift in a big city ER.We used to get your kind in on a regular basis.We'd break out the leather restraints,draw an ethanol level and notify housekeeping to have a mop nearby.

And then there were the seizures....

Some countries have set their blood alcohol limit as zero. That’s 0.00. You wanna drink? Then don’t drive. You wanna drive? Then don’t drink. Good idea, IMO.

[dragnet2]

Alcohol is a mass killer...These folks were very lucky.

I was blessed no seizures no uncontrolled bodily fluids my sister took me and i went to detox and rehab been sober since april 6 2001 I wrote the beeber thread sober scary No restraints either

I work New Orleans after Katrina. I saw the local police ask a guy at a traffic stop if he was ok to drive. he could barely stand. They let him drive off. The cop told me that drinking is what we do here.

Two blocks down however the state police had other ideas.

I also worked an intersection with two cops. On worked with us and one sat in the patrol car and drank a case of beer. In his defense though he probably lost his house and hadn't been paid in over 45 days.

Good times, good times.

[al baby]

Yes it looked like a cartoon character in a garden hose

[Celtic Conservative]

LOL!

No specific charge for DWI? The charges listed could stand by themselves if he wasn’t drunk, and we all know that charging DWI doesn’t require injury or damages.

I worked at a small County jail for a couple of years part of our duty was to do our own preliminary breath test at the jail. They brought a guy in once that blew a .6 I couldn’t believe it but when I PBT him myself our machine agreed he did blow a .6

I always hear that a BAC at around .30 is fatal in most people.
