Former 'MADD' Chapter President Busted for DUI (DOH!)
KTLA ^ | Feb 25 2011

GAINESVILE, Fla. (KTLA) -- The former president of a Gainesville, Fla. chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, or MADD, is facing DUI charges, according to the Gainesville Sun.

48-year-old Debra Oberlin was pulled over last week after officers reportedly spotted her driving erratically.

She blew a .234 and a .239 on a pair of breathalyzer tests, the Sun reports, well over Florida's .08 legal limit.

Oberlin apparently told officers she'd had four beers.

Oberlin has not commented.

She was the president of Gainesville's MADD chapter for three years. The chapter closed in 1996 due to a lack of funds.

"The chapter closed in 1996 due to a lack of funds."

Foster’s lager is in the 5% range, so that wouldn’t do it (unless she’s counting an oilcan as “one beer,” but I didn’t run the math). I don’t know about Foster’s bitter.

The problem with our DWI laws is the limit is .08% while the real drunks blow over 2.0%.

This creates criminals out of typical drivers who had a couple of glasses of wine with dinner.

A six pack of beer will get a normal person between .08 and .10. Maybe six beers with a shot chaser each time.
