Re DUI

I prosecuted DUIs for a while back in the 1980's.

To me the biggest factor was whether the person was a regular drinker or not. At the time we had just started videotaping the suspects.

A heavy drinker would blow a .20 and appear stone-cold sober on the video. An infrequent drinker, on the other hand, would blow a .14 and urinate on themselves. We stopped doing the videotapes because they tended to favor the serious alcoholic.

Once we had a guy who blew a .42, he should have been dead but I guess after a few years of drinking you build up an immunity.

Another time we had a guy who was stopped, jailed, released, picked up a 12 pack just outside the jail, and was stopped and arrested again before he got home.
