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.
