[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 601879, member: 60724"] Grumpy, The rest of that law says that another definition of drunk is you have a BAL above a certain level. IF you or someone else gets "stung" in the way you describe, just like we often say when we get stung speeding, we should and probably will say "show me the radar reading"...er, "show me the blood test / breathalyzer reading". Then, if the instrumentation shows you are over the limit, they gotcha. But again, WHY do you think the TABC will do what you are saying...going after those that are technically drunk but not displaying any of the ill effects? I don't expect them to do that any more than I expect to get a ticket when doing 51 in a 50mph zone (but I do expect a ticket doing 65 in that zone). That's like the difference between being technically drunk, and being unquestionably drunk. I suspect the TABC will go after those "unquestionably" drunk. Don't you? TJR [/QUOTE]
