[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks for the support. I am pretty small and very rarely drink - I believe I have low tolerance. It was two drinks over a light dinner - we didn't linger afterwards since it was druing the work week. It obviously impacted my ability to think twice about getting in the car. I have been doing some research and am just terrified about going to jail. I am also worried if I ever need to get a clearance or anotehr job. I do recall that most job applications ask about your criminal history. Again, I deserve what I get, but this will affect me for the rest of my life.[/quote]

I call bullshit. According to this University of Oklahoma website, you were closer to .03 with two glasses of wine....if you weigh 100 pounds. If so, you were fine to drive. I think you're making this whole thing up, trying to start a big old fight.

Even if you weigh 100 pounds and downed those glasses in less than an hour, your level would still be .04 acc'd to the calculator. Oh, and there is no such thing as "low tolerance"  - you're measuring the level of alcohol in your blood. You're lying about something here.

At 130 lbs, if I have two glasses, I am in no position to drive.  I don't think the OP is lying.  [/quote]

You might be in no position to drive, but you can NOT get a reading of .08 after drinking two glasses of wine. (I agree about two glasses, actually, but OP is lying about her consumption - or she's lying about something else.)

FWIW, that calculator does not differentiate for men and women.  Women and men metabolize alcohol at different rates, and you can find BAC calculators [url]http://www.brad21.org/bac_charts.html[/url] that put a 120 lb women at .08 after two drinks.  And a drink equals 5 ounces of wine.  Presumably one of these calculators is more accurate than the other, and I don't have the background to know which one that it is, but I'm not willing to call the OP a liar with this information.[/quote]
