    So I reckon about 4.5 hours before you're put in the special seat.

    Code:
    0.08
    BAL limit for DUI in Washington State
    0.07 - 0.09
    Fuzzy thinking; motor skills clearly impaired; speech may be noticeably impaired; sight and hearing acuity are reduced; judgment ability is slowed and reduced.
    Ability to decide about further drinking is impaired and ability to evaluate and respond to sexual situations is diminished. (Warning: legally impaired consent is the same as NO CONSENT).
    0.1 - .02
    Emotions unstable; perceptions, thinking, judgment, reaction time are all significantly impaired.
    0.25 - .03
    Confusion, disorientation, dizziness, exaggerated emotions. All sense perceptions distorted. Numb. Severe risk of injury.
    0.3 - 0.4
    Stupor; motor functions severely impaired; unable to stand/walk.Vomiting, incontinence are high risk. Loss of pain awareness. Impaired consciousness.
    Risk of death.
    0.4 +
    High risk of impaired circulation, respiration or heart rhythm. Coma and death due to anesthesia of brain areas and nervous system functioning are very possible.
