Yep...remember going to the Hawaiian tropic events in Daytona at the Plaza hotel and he had a 100 or so foot sailing yacht anchored off shore. Lamborghini's. Porsches and Ferraris all with HT vanity plates parked out front. And the hottest bikini models all over the place...and him. He was like the slightly cleaner version of Joe Francis lol.
 
:lol: I'm sure I've been at or over 0.24 many times, but I never decided to take a drive and a stroll on the highway.

.24 isn't really that high though. A bottle of wine supposedly puts an average person at .16....A bottle of wine was a warmup.

Speaking of wine as a warmup, did we ever know what exactly killed blue?
 
.24 is, in legal parlance, "drunker than a skunker."

Now maybe some of you dedicated drinkers have a high enough tolerance that it doesn't affect you so much, but back when I was a prosecutor, the local sheriff's office put us up in a hotel for a night to do DUI training . Part of the training was to drink at the bar and blow into the Intoxilyzer 5000, the breath test instrument they were using at the time. I had about 5 drinks in about an hour and a half and blew .08, the presumptive limit.

Naturally, some of the prosecutors there got competitive - the highest blow of the night was right around there - .22 or .24 if I remember right. And I don't know how many drinks that guy had, but he was literally "falling down drunk." Couldn't walk straight, could barely stand up.

egs told a story years ago about someone having a breathalyzer at a party, and as drunk as they were they couldn't really get a high result.

Everyone's different, but most people are going to be feeling pretty good by the time they get up to .08. No way I should have been okay to drive a car after the 5 or so drinks it took me to get to that point.
 
Yeah my tolerance was ridiculous. 5 beers didn’t phase me one bit. It took at least a half bottle of whisky before anyone noticed I’d been drinking.

On the breathalyzer, no idea. I imagine the accuracy of whatever egs had at a party 30 years ago is a tad different than Doc’s cops. Of course mind were blood tests, so I’m assuming I can’t argue with the results.
