....what was the test result??????

Do you have some sort of reading difficulty? ("Stupidly didn't ask what my number was.") All I know is he told me I was free to go on my way.

Thank God he did not kill or injure anyone! It’s always sad when someone wrecks themselves like this. I hope he can kick the habit without any more trouble and heal what he’s done.

“Bourbon is what I was drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-drunk.”

The drinking age was 18and there were plenty of places that never carded.

...and you think those were good times?

[maine yankee]

My personal best was a 3.2
Surely you mean 0.32%, I’m pretty sure that at 3 your corpse becomes inflammable.

I can’t type drunk or sober.

Not only that, but I used to show proof that I was 17! (Hmmm, brown eyes, red hair, six feet. You're okay.) ML/NJ

Many, many journalists are just flat out innumerate.

Sad, really.

If you think you’ll be somewhere in traffic at the same time with police officers who are just leaving their annual golf outing, you may want to consider taking an alternate route or making the trip another day.

Same here. Its gotten to the point where a single drink is enough.

When he finally stopped and was arreseted he blew a .25 blood alcohol level, then a .29 and finally a .28. He easily doubled the legal limit of .08. The state's "super drunk" benchmark is .17.

A drunk driving attorney said that number indicates off-the-chart intoxication.

So, his alcohol level was charted at .28. Which is off the chart. Even though thats what it is charted at.
