I think people would be surprised how many times they likely have been over

Wayyyy too many times to count. Especially when I was younger. Not proud of this.

couple weeks ago wife and I went out to dinner, random weeknite
we ate at a place downtown Hammond and I had two beers with dinner
we were in a good mood, wife ordered another cocktail so I did too
wound up drinking 4 beers all told which I never do if I'm driving

on the way home, 2 miles from my house we hit a checkpoint on 190 by the tycer concrete plant. get waved over to the lot

cop shines his light in the truck, asks if I've been drinking and I say no
tells me to get out and I do
I summon all the willpower I have and he does the follow my hand with your eyes thing

no idea why he let me go because I'm pretty sure I was over the limit
not drunk by any means but certainly buzzed

that would have been a major disruption to my life and I won't do it again

Hundreds of times many years ago. Not proud but it is what it is and the penalties used to be a joke. I had three DUI's in a two month period (same intersection, same cop every time) and didn't spend a night in jail. A few other times I was just told to drive straight home. The last time I drove drunk was my DUI 16 years ago. That one was on federal property and the judge came down hard.

I used to drive drunk everywhere back when I had a drinking problem. I got pulled over on Jef Davis at 10am and the cop asked me if I was drunk, I laughed and said it's 10am on a Tuesday of course I'm not drunk. I was shitfaced.

Thank god I never hurt anyone

When you have had a certain amount of alcohol, your eyes involuntarily bounce up and down when looking to the side.

Your eyes probably werent doing it.

I'm not a piece of trash who gets behind the wheel when intoxicated. Drunk drivers are the biggest pieces of trash to live.

literally hundreds.

As have most people, considering .08 is a joke that doesn't really tell impairment.

When I was younger, all the time. I'm lucky I didn't hurt anyone else or myself. I got a DUI about 10 years ago, and that put a stop to it. I guess the system worked for me.

The eyes don't lie basically their biggest cue

Unless you have a stigmatism

Probably 1000 times or more. Last time was about a month ago. All on private property.

Does astigmatism help or hurt for the test?

Asking for a friend...

You speed? Look at your phone while driving?
