drinking w/ the po-lease
I just got back from drinking w/ the Caddo Parish's Sheriff Department (parish = county for you northern folk). It's a program they have set up where their cadets in training give sobriety tests .... on actual drunks!!!!!!!
In the course of 3 hours, i had 10 shots of Grey Goose Vodka (mixed w/ sprite). they base off of your height/weight, what it would take to get you legally impaired....not necessarily drunk, but impaired...
I blew a .110 on their breathalizer (.080 is legal limit for louisiana)
so after drinking for 3 hrs, they take us to the cadets, who are in training, and give us the sobriety field tests (the nystagmus eye test, the walking 9 paces heel to toe, and the raise one foot, count to 30 test)....
then after that, they take another breathlizer to see how fast you metabolize the alcohol....after one hour, i was down to .090. still above the legal limit, but got rid of that shit fast! (the average, they said, for someone my height/weight [which is 5'10/140], is about .010 per hour....which i doubled).
so yeah, official breath tests says that 10 shots of vodka will get me impaired (not completely drunk, as i was still coherent...just not legally enough to drive).
ps,
all 6 groups that tested me would have arrested me for being over the legal limit. LOL nyce
