.249 is oddly close to common limits. I wonder if that was the machine’s max.
In over a decade of practice, I’ve seen exactly two people max out the BAC reading on an Intoxilyzer. You have to be a blinding, every day alcoholic to hit those kind of numbers and be conversational. And you certainly wouldn’t blow flat shortly afterwards, as it would take about 16 hours for .249 to process out of your bloodstream.

That machine is calibrated to eliminate non-Bipocs in the work force.

Likely doesn’t have much to do with this situation.
People pursue and are successful in wrongful termination actions every day in at will states

You would be barely able to walk at .249

I’d sue everyone involved

He was so sober he flipped it upside down and it didn't know what to do

Just wondering who performed test and are they trained in performing that test at a work place? If over the counter device was used, a lawsuit would be plausible?

Put a drop of vodka in the breathalyzer before he blows would do that

You would think with that BAC reading, they’d ask you to retake it. that’s legit drunk.
Most people would be passed the frick out.

At 0.25 you’d have trouble forming sentences and would for sure be visibly drunk

Also how many jobs would make you blow without suspicion first? Couldn’t imagine very many

Most jobs in oil & gas/petrochemical industry. Alcohol test is typically part of the random drug screenings.

Exactly. .25 and your the point of drunkenness that you would be pissing in your coworker’s trash cans… not arguing that you are stone sober.

No way you could drop from 0.249% to 0.00% in one hour, so one of those readings is definitely off.

Sounds like you were the fall guy for management's alcoholism.

Railroad has randoms. I'd guess most anything transportation related does.
