They don't have it there anymore (too un-PC, I guess) but on Hwy 550 between Kirtland and Shiprock at the edge of the reservation there used to be a stretch called "Blood Alley" where all the bars used to be.

It was the only place I ever saw a caution sign of a guy walking/staggering across the road CARRYING A BOTTLE. I kid you not.

Farmington cops used to tell me about folks who could pass a field sobriety test yet would still blow a 0.3 or higher. Now THAT, dear FRiend, is drunk.

Having consumed enough alcohol that you can no longer operate a motor vehicle in a safe manner. Breath bad enough to strip the lead paint off of the shipment of chinese toys in the tractor/trailer next to you. The level of 0.08 as cited by the law is irrelevant - many can and do operate at or above this level with no ill effects.
