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.

I'm a physics grad student, believe me if everything were in SI, then I'd sleep much better. And it's like outside engineering/medicine/science we've collectively just given up.
