Ten years ago, I got pulled over one night and the officer asked if I had been drinking and I responded, "Yes sir." He asked how much and I said, "quite a bit."
I had crossed the center line twice, was 12 miles over the limit, and admitted to drinking and he let me go with a warning because I didn't act like a jerk or even like I was drunk. I had 7 twelve ounce Black Russians over the course of 7 hours with nothing to eat since lunch (this was midnight) and I wasn't drunk one hour later when stopped.
"7 twelve ounce Black Russians over the course of 7 hours"
If that was me it would go like this:
Have been drinking sir?
Yes officers.
