New Years Eve was not that bad

1. So it turns out that I was not as bad New Years Eve as I thought I was.  I am still going out, but am limited to 2 drinks a night.  That is pretty good because on Saturday Night I went to the LSU game and then Ivars latter to meet some freinds.  I had 1 beer.  As I was leaving I got pulled over by a DWI Cop.  Even have consumed 1 beer 2 hours before hand, I was worried about having to take a breathilizer, which I do not trust a t all.

Nachman Brautbar, M.D.

Nachman Brautbar, has an interesting article on this website.  In he states that

"The alcohol breath testing is based on a concept that the ratio between the air that we exhale and blood alcohol is 1/2100. This, however, has not reached scientific acceptance, and data showing figures from 1/1500 to 1/3000 have been published in the scientific literature. Therefore, there is an individual variation, which cannot be determined with the methodology utilized today and therefore cannot be simply and routinely applied to breath testing."

  DWI

All 50 states now have two statutory offenses^[1]. The first is the traditional offense, variously called driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI), driving while intoxicated/impaired (DWI) or operating while intoxicated/impaired (OWI). The second and more recent is the so-called illegal per se offense of driving with a blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% (previously 0.10%) or higher. The first offense requires proof of intoxication, although evidence of BAC is admissible as rebuttably presumptive evidence of that intoxication; the second requires only proof of BAC at the time of being in physical control of a motor vehicle. An accused may be convicted of both offenses, but may only be punished for one.
