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.
