To find out what the blood alcohol content of .08% looked and felt like, two Register employees drank four glasses of wine over two and a half hours, here's what happened.

" That is a good video and it is a real eye opener to the small amount of alcohol that will get you arrested. I am curious though after watching this video, is that an actual Officer or an explorer? He looks like a boy and to young to be a cop? "

" I don't know, NVR - you might want to redo this experiment. One participant failed the sobriety tests even though he never went over the legal limit and the other participant appeared to pass every test even when she was over the legal limit.

All you've managed to show is that the limit is different for everyone. (It can also be different at different times for the same individual.)

Hmmm, come to think of it - maybe that IS the whole point!

Folks, please, please don't get behind the wheel drunk - ever! "
