Ditto... exactly what I was thinking. 0.12 is legally impaired by law, but really a mild buzz for most drinkers. If he was that out of it at that level, he had something else in his system a breath test wouldn't catch.
And alcoholism is a disease folks, how it affects the brain in alcoholics is different from "normies". Also, nicotine has shown to decrease blood alcohol, which is suggested that is why smokers tend to drink more.

Nope. Try 0.08 Which means don't have 2 beers with your burger and side dish.

If he's really an alcoholic and he relapsed that night it wouldn't take him very much to get wacked out .
You're right a real alcoholic processes alcohol muchdifferently then a normal person.
