So I volunteered to be a "drinker" for the state police academy to be a DUI test candidate.

8 beers in ~2 hours put me at .145. I failed the field sobriety tests miserably. I was tested on 10+ groups of recruits and they kept laughing at me as I fell over again and again.

Eye/Pen test - fail
9 step test - fail
One leg test -fail

Good thing is this, they way I was feeling I would not have driven anyways

-MIke

 

Did you have to buy the beer?
Did they pick you up?
Did they drive you home?

 

Was it a good IPA or Schlitz?

 

They bought beer, they bought food, an Officer drove me home.

I drank captain and then Miller Lite once I was above the legal limit.

 

i would rather take this study than the way i was tested last time

 

I have always thought about buying one of those breathalyzers but know my friends. We would try to see who can blow a .2 first.

 

I'd fail the one leg test, even stone sober.
using that in therapy for my knee now and we discovered I have really bad ankles.
I struggle to balance at all.

 

That's good to know.

However, my concern is often the driver who though may have a tolerance for alcohol, is still legally drunk. Did they test you at various stages where you might have felt you were "OK to drive" only to find out you were legally drunk?

You can't be "just a little" legally drunk, anymore than you can be just a "little bit pregnant." Legally drunk, is legally drunk, and you can land in a world of sheit if you have even a fender bender, have a tail light out, or obviously get into a serious accident.

Designated driver FTW. Marry one if you have to.

 

That's a pretty good deal.

I hope you don't feel sore in the morning though

 

Actually Ill bet most in here could not stand on one leg for 1 minute without losing balance or being really wobbly and thats while sober. You all gaffaw and scoff well go ahead and try it. Suprise yourselves.
