Had a client a few weeks ago. A little guy, weighed about 120 pounds. He had an extreme DUI with a blood alcohol level pushing 0.20
The guy kept insisting he normally didn't drink, and right before he got the DUI he'd only had three drinks. Kept telling him I'm not a cop, no need to lie, its obvious from his blood alcohol level he had about nine drinks.

He kept insisting it was only three.

So asked him to tell me about that night. He said he was sober, stopped by a bar looking for a friend who hung out there. Stumbled onto other friends playing a drinking game and that he had three drinks as part of that drinking game then left to keep looking for his friend.

I asked him what he had to drink, he said "Ankle Breakers." What's in them? He didn't know. So we looked it up on the Internet.

2 oz 151 proof rum
1 oz cherry brandy
1 oz fresh lime juice

So we were both right. He only had three drinks in terms of glasses of booze. But each glass held the equivalent of three drinks, so he had the same amount of alcohol contained in nine regular drinks.

He tossed nine drinks into a 120 pound body, got behind the wheel before the alcohol left his intestines for his blood, got down the road and became a very intoxicated driver.

Ya gotta know what's in them things....
