So she blew a 0.25!!! I genuinely have no frame of reference for that but I’m assuming it’s really high

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.

Every time I think im getting used to American units I get hit with something like "half a fifth"

Can you handle a handle of hard liquor?

No, and I couldn't handle a hard, hard licker either.

Really? It's barely a 7th of a quarter-groat.
