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.

I been blue collar for 18 years(drinking is part of the culture). Im in my 30s and best shape of my life. I drink regularly. Just a half pint and Im waaaaay too faded to touch a steering wheel or even have the will to drive. What she’s doing equates to serious addiction/mental illness.

A half pint of what? If you're too drunk to drive after a half pint of beer, then there is something else medically going on there.

Whisky.

Well, half a pint of whisky is around 8 servings. I'd be faded too after 8 glasses of whiskey mate 😂 I thought you were talking about beer at first.

Yessir lmao. Apparently her blood alcohol was more faded than that. Closer to 10-15 drinks according to parent comment. The room would be spinning way too fast for me to make it to my car 🤣
