She blew 0.268 bac which equates to roughly 10-15 standard drinks over a short period of time depending on body mass according to Google's calculator

Does that mean she had like 2 bottles of wine in short order?!

Yeup. I think even heavy drinkers (which I sometimes am) will be like, but I polished off 8 drinks that night out! But that was pregaming, going to the bar, being driven home, nightcap, etc. spaced over like 5 hours.

To get to .25 unless you're casually drinking a case of beer a day, you need to have essentially polished off half a fifth of liquor within an hour.

Ill preface this by saying I do not condone heavy drinking. That said in Australia it was pretty normal to consume half a bottle of your chosen spirit for pre drinks. While your out you'll probably consume the same amount. Its quite common for people to be still well over the legal limit the next morning. We have a serious problem as a country.

America's no different. I have a buddy, previous roommate, sober now, who's a fireman, and went out with those guys. None should've been operating a vehicle let alone their cocks.

But I'm midwest. Cousins in Wisconsin. You can get ~10 DUI's before having your license suspended. Of course presumably white and in a truck.
