I believe he was driving through a carryout parking lot probably doing about 25 mph(cited for 10 mph over the speed limit) at about 3:30 am when he was pulled over.

Here's a hypothetical:
Considering that a single 12oz beer with 5% abv equates to approx. .02 BAC for men of average size - that means he would have drank at least a 6-pack in an hour to reach a .12 You also "eliminate" about .015 BAC/hour on average. So he could have been drinking a lot more beers over a longer period of time and it may have actually dropped to .12 - at which time he ran out of beers and went to a carryout to get more.

If he was alone at the time of the arrest - and he was drinking alone, that is definitely not a good sign.

Not sure what the laws are in Ohio. Michigan is one of the toughest states in the country - and there are areas where you never want to get caught. Like Birmingham, Michigan. Just ask Jalen Rose. There, you get sentenced to 14 to 30 days in jail for a first offense. He got 20 days in jail for his first offense.

3-4 shots/beers would give a .12% blood alcohol level at his bodywgt. The offroad parking lot speed limit is 15 mph in Kentucky. If Logan was 10 mph over the speed limit =25 mph. Not exactly Johnny Manziel.

Lol wrong.

Using the BAC calculator ....(website)
215 pound, male, social drinker can drink 10 (12 oz) beers in 3 hours and would blow a .128.

3 to 4 shots in 5 minutes maybe... But assuming he was out at a bar that's about what he drove at. And the BAC calculator has other specifics about metabolism. If he drinks more than just socially, it would take more than 10 beers to register a .12

4 shots/beers in a hour would do that. A beer and 2 tall shots(1.5 oz x 2)

Just to clarify, you aren't factoring in time which is the most important factor here. Having 4 drinks at his size is nothing if you assume it's a normal night out. If he slammed 4 drinks in an hour sure. But at his size, he could be out for 3 hours and have 5 shots (mixed drinks) and 2 beers, but still be under the limit.

When I worked in probation, we had this cardboard dial thing where you lined up your weight, drinks, and time elapsed. It was scientific and accurate. For some reason, people seem to think "1-2 drinks and I could get a DUI", I'm not sure where that came from. The only time that really applies is if you slam a few drinks quickly then leave. Or if you're a really small girl like 100 lbs. Even then, I'm sure it would be below .08 after an hour or so.

Two beers each with a shot in hour/a couple of Long Island Ice Teas/or a Hurricane, etc. anything like that consumed quickly before a bar closes or Happy Hour ends will put you over the limit. Another problem is craft beers/IPA's have much higher alcohol content 6.5-8.5% vs the old 4-5% standard with many a 16oz vs 12oz serving size. The old safe one drink/beer an hour is out the window.

Point is that he is mature and experienced enough to know drinking to the point over the limit is going to be problem and multiple drinks will get you there at level beyond a casual drink.

No way you get behind the wheel after drinking. Take it from a guy that got a DUI while not even being in the car. 25 years ago it was enough to have my car keys in my pocket and being near the car=intent to drive. And it was after 3 people bought me 3 Crown Royals on the rocks in a hour.

To clarify. I used information directly from a website that has done these test for years. I stated that 5% ABV in 12 ounce beers will add .02 to the BAC for a normal sized man. It varies for a number of reasons. Your liver will process out approx. .015 BAC/hour.

So 10 beers (@5% ABV) over a 3 hour period would be 10*.02 = .20 less 3*.015 = (.045) = .155 Bud Lights are about 4% ABV, so lets say that gives you 80% of the impact (4%/5% - which is likely not scientific but an approximation). Then it would be .16 (80% * .20 above) less .045 = .115 BAC. Other factors would be food consumption, etc. Contrary to popular belief, exercising will not increase the metabolism rate of alcohol removed from the bloodstream. Only time and the effective functioning of your liver will do that. Drinking coffee just makes you a more alert drunk - maybe.

BTW - A Long Island Ice Tea contains about 4 units of alcohol = which is equal to 4 12 oz. beers at 5% ABV. A 1 1/2 ounce shot is a normal shot - not a tall shot (I don't know what a "tall shot" is). All of this can be looked up and verified. Units of alcohol is what determines the approximate change in BAC - but it is never exact.

The safe bet of one drink was never just one drink. It was one "unit". If you drink one unit of alcohol only every hour, you would start at .02 once it is fully in the blood stream, then you add .005 in the next hour (+.02 - .015). At that rate - it would take you about 12 hours to get to .08. No one drinks beers like that unless they are just plain bored and have a bet going. Again, that assumes all the averages remain constant. You cannot have a drink called a Long Island Ice Tea and think it will follow the same numbers. It won't. You cannot measure the impact on your BAC by saying "a drink". And yes, you can buy 7.5% ABV beer in a grocery store. You can get 11% or more of a craft beer at b-dubs. That is more than double the alcohol content - and would be considered 2+ units for each "drink" (or about moving your BAC to .042 with just one 12 oz craft beer. Drink another in an hour and you are getting close to a BAC of .08. Drink 2 tall ones at b-dubs (23 ounces) and you are way over the legal limit in just over an hour. 46 ounces at 11% = +8 units of alcohol and you would have processed out only .015BAC = .16-.015 = .145. This is assuming you chug the beers down immediately, then wait an hour and chug the next one down. If you "milk" the beer for an hour, it would take about 2.5 hours to get legally drunk. Most people will drink 2-3 beers in an hour with normal drinking. 3 Bud Lights in an hour will not get you legally drunk, but you can still be charged with being impaired if pulled over or in an accident.

Anyway - the whole point is that he was likely drinking a lot. Superdrunk laws in Michigan start at .17. He was about halfway between legally impaired at .08 and "super drunk" at .17.

Never heard of alcohol making anyone make better decisions the more of it you drink...
