BAC limits

[Lloyd McClelland]

I've been doing testing :)  I got a breathalyzer from www.breathalizer.net
( around $135 ) and I'd be over the California limit .o8 with I beer, Pint
of ale for 15 min too... eating or drinking water helps,, no more 4 wheel
burn outs out of bar parking lots,,,( I'm joking)  IF I was pulled over
after drinking just1 beer  I'd want a blood test. My Son got a DUI and I
don't want it to happen to me... Lloyd  ----- Original Message -----
