But you'd have to be pretty well trained as a drinker to withstand that much alcohol and walk.

yeah for a casual drinker that's reaching limits

that's "passing the frick out at the bar" level of drunk for a casual drinker

Three beers in an hour is 0.08 for me and I'm 5'11 180

I guess I'm thinking in terms of myself then, because that's not outrageously high IMHO. Over 0.35 is when I am very fricked up. Still walking and talking, and probably drinking, but still very fricked up

No, I had a breathalyzer for three years. I know exactly how much I can drink. It also stopped reading at 0.35,which I hit many times. Mine wasn't court mandated, so I would mess around sometimes when I was drunk

.232 is getting into "you may die" territory for a normal person



Its shitfaced for sure, but lets pump the brakes

I've blown higher than that in college plenty of times with our breathalyzer (which was a nice one). And yeah, we were drunk as skunks, but we were not going to die.

The state police used us once to train new officers in Oxford as well and a few of us blew over .2 on their machines after 2 hours of drinking in lawn chairs and we were coherent and went to the bars after.

ETA:

Clearly shouldn't operate anything larger than a blender at that point though. And I'll admit that non-drinkers would not be able to handle .23 as well as drinkers. But "normal" for a 25 year old in New Orleans is a drinker.

My neighbor has one and we get it out from time to time just f'ing around.

I've blown a .25 and was still functioning "in my mind"

If you're still up and going at .35, then you have a serious drinking problem.

Yes, I am good at power drinking. That's not the point I was trying to make. What I was getting at is the while the kid was pretty drunk, he wasn't on the verge of laying on the ground passing out drunk. Hell, he was probably headed to a bar

We had one in college and we had levels like that too. Not washing out your mouth artificially elevated it.

Don't know if it's still the same in 2017, but an attorney once told me that in Baton Rouge, if you reach .30, the cops take you to the hospital and handcuff you to the bed, as opposed to the police station.

If I remember right, .40 is usually considered comatose.
