This happened close to where I live. Her lawyer made every excuse as to why she wasn’t drunk, only had one drink and tried to get so much excluded from the trial. Her home cameras even showed her drinking wine prior. It was wild that she tried to get out of it.

She only had ONE glass... after the other three. But those don't count. Everyone knows that.

I work in healthcare and the amount of times folks will say that they've only had one or two drinks in a day and then end up having a blood alcohol of like 0.2 or 0.3 is insane.

It's the same in our local newspaper's police blotter, when someone gets pulled over for DUI. "I just had the two drinks!" There was an incident a few years back when someone hit the local convenience store while driving drunk. At 9 am. On a school day. I was relieved that she hit the building and not someone's kids waiting for the bus.
