I am exactly 180 pounds, all muscle. 
I had one Scotch at 7, another at 8 and then had three iced teas (real hard stuff) after that. I was stopped at 10.30. I guess the liver is still working OK.
I normally only have one drink at 7 and then the iced teas.
I phoned in a drunk and followed him until he was picked up, he had a minor bump and got away with that. I was on my cell phone with the dispatcher going all round the houses, he may have known I was tailing him. If so that's all he did know, he was stoned.
A friends only daughter and only grandchild were T-boned and killed by a drunk driver. His only son had died previously in a motor cycle accident. Sad story.

You must have fit the "profile."
How cute was your "passenger?"
BTW physical activity can metabolize the alcohol. Them "darts" matches can get testy.
Well, I pulled out of the Legion parking lot and the cop was on my tail at once. They ended up with three cops cars, I guess I looked too tough to handle.
My passenger was a 65 year old Scot from Glasgow, that should answer your 'cute' question. His wife drives him there and as I pass his house more or less I drive him home. He has five or six drinks, hell I could even smell his breath.
