HE WAS DRUNK! Whatever happened to personal responsibility for ones actions? Turn up pi55ed, get caught, get hung. Seems reasonable to me.
Spoken like somebody who's never had a drink in their life.
His b/a was above .02, forgodsakes. Maybe it was way above, it doesn't say, but if it was anywhere near .02, trust me he wasn't "drunk."
Just about every day of my life, I have a good-size Scotch after work and usually half a bottle of wine with dinner, and I'm sure my b/a is well above .02. No, I wouldn't go out and drive, but I'm certainly not "drunk."
