what kind of class was it? A breathalyzer cert class for current officers? AFAIK there is no class of new troopers coming up right now. In my academy, we had the option of bringing in a friend to get drunk. It was pretty funny. I bet you had a good time!

 

Lainey, they tested us every 3 drinks or so. When I was at .06 I was feeling a nice buzz.

[quote name='kevkranker' date='Jan 21 2009, 04:42 PM']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.

 

It was a current academy of new officers. There were about 30 or so guys/gals. It was a great time

 

Nice of you to do your civic duty.

 

Mike, at least now you have a good idea of what you can drink and still drive legally. For you I would guess less than 3 beers in an hour more to the side of 2.

 

try 10 -15 seconds.

 

And I'd bet it's not as much as most folks think...you get beyond three beers/drinks in a short time frame and chances are you'd be legally drunk.

For me, it would take less than one beer.

Which brings this up. For a lightweight drinker like me, one drink gives me a buzz, but yet I'd likely not be legally drunk, but I'd have NO business driving....where do I fit in? Did they test any lightweight drinkers?

 

^ Are you saying most cant do it for 15 second sor are you saying you cannot. Myself I start tetering pretty good in that 40 second range

 

We had 250 lb guys and 110 lbs ladies. The drink # was less important a factor than you'd think.

The smallest girl drank 6 and the biggest guy drank 9. The BAC range was like .07 to .15 IIRC
