I weigh 95 lbs, does 5 mixed drinks really put me over the legal limit if it took more than 2 hours to drink.?!


Question: I went to the club at 5 and left around 9. That is more than two hours. I should be under the legal limit, shouldn,t I. I recently got a DUI and they say I was over the legal limit. But, I think their test is inaccurate.

Hi, it generally takes an hour after each single drink to be sober again. It would have taken 5 hours or even more based on your weight to get the alcohol out of your system completely. Last year I got my first "fake" DWI because I used mouthwash with 25% alcohol in it. I was pulled over for a license plate light out not 5 minutes after using mouthwash at my house because I had a hot date. I had not been drinking at all. But I got screwed and the judge even though I brought the mouthwash with me on my pleading date refused to believe it. Even a taped episode of MythBusters proved I was in the right, but he said thats TV, not real lfe. I hate NY.

See this...according to this calculator you are 3 times the legal limit... 5 vodkas 1.5 ounces each over 4 hours

At 95 lbs, yes, you were highly likely to be over the limit. The estimates that you digest one drink per hour is for a 160 lb person.

As far as I know, it takes the body at least an hour to metabolize one ounce of alcohol completely.

So, I would say the odds are pretty good, if you were to be pulled over, you'd get nailed for driving under the influence.

Oh yes, it most certainly would. I have a BAC calculator and using your specs, I came up with a BAC of .20. Ouch.

.18 over three hours. This is an estimate because it doesn't take into account what you may be eating, etc, but I would say it's pretty close.

You would be way over the legal limit -- one drink at your weight would almost put you over the limit. The only thing inaccurate about the test is your perception of it. I hope you are not driving in my neighborhood. Leave your keys and take a cab because honey you are drunk.

Um, no, the test was not inaccurate. Sweetie, you were totally legally overly intoxicated.

yes the legal limit is 2 for your size

1 would put you over

Sounds like you are an alcoholic. You should look into treatment.

you are definitely over the limit!
