		<description>When I was forced to attend a DWI class a long time ago, I was taught that a man that size would drop about .015/hr as long as they were not consuming more alcohol.

4 X .015 = .06

.06 + .079 = .139</description>

		<description>Wow. Every day it seems like atheists and religious zealots have more in common. They both seem to live in this black and white, anyone-who disagrees-with-me-is-stupid-and-evil world that just doesn&#039;t exist in reality, and they&#039;re both unbearably obnoxious about it.</description>

		<description>Using the formula from that chart on dui.com and assuming that it is somewhat scientific, I came up with this equation:

(3.8 * d / w) - (m/40 * .01) = BAC
 
d = drinks, w=weight, m=time elapsed in minutes

So, assuming he weighed 180lbs, and at 1:30a he had been drinking for 4 hours (starting at 9:30p) to be at .07 at 5:30a, he would have had to have 9 servings of alcohol. So, at the time he was stopped, I would think he would have been more like .13; which I believe the technical term would be &quot;plowed.&quot; If I try different durations, it obviously changes how many drinks he had, but the BAC keeps coming up at or around .13 when he was stopped.</description>

...like saying Romans throwing Christians to the lions should not overshadow the fact that thousands of people received free entertainment.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Not to mention the lions getting fresh meat.</description>

		<description>Archbishop Nichols saying the Irish Child Abuse Commission report &quot;Should not overshadow all of the good that institutions such as the Christian Brothers and the Sisters of Mercy had done&quot; is to me, much like saying Romans throwing Christians to the lions should not overshadow the fact that thousands of people received free entertainment.</description>

I know you are just passing along information, but I really, really, really did not want to know that.

It is simply too horrible to think about.</description>

		<description>Reckless homicide, DUI and Hit-and-Run charges against a $2,000,000 bail for the police officer involved in the fatality &quot;accident&quot; involving the juvenile bicyclist.

Apparently, the policeman was still charged with a DUI, despite the 4-hour police delay to allow their fellow officer time to sober up.</description>

Well, in this case, that&#039;s one excuse they can&#039;t use...

Why?

The initial reports I read stated that the officer hit the boy at such a high rate of speed that the force literally ripped the boy apart.</description>

		<description>Mack, I used the chart here: http://www.dui.com/dui-library/bac/how-much-alcohol

For a 180 pound man to register 0.08, it says you need four drinks.  We all know from MADD that you can eliminate approximately one drink per hour, so four hours previous, he&#039;d had four more drinks than that. 

That means at the time of the accident, he&#039;d had approximately 8 drinks, which isn&#039;t on the chart, but we can extrapolate to about 0.19.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Cardinal who presided over Ireland scandal in which Catholic priests were show to have sexually abused young boys going back decades declares that atheism is the “greatest of all evils.” &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Shucks.  Thanks, but I really don&#039;t think think I&#039;m part of the greatest.  Let&#039;s just say that atheism is in the upper tier of all evils and leave it at that.  We evil athiests with no foundation for morality don&#039;t like to brag.</description>

		<description>Whew! I&#039;m so glad he got all the way down to .079, and was not fall down - defy gravity stupid drunk at .08.

Is there an expert that can extrapolate what he could have been 4 hours earlier? Assuming he was a 180lb man.</description>

Not like the Cardinal isn&#039;t a worthless scumbag making a ludicrous statement, but it doesn&#039;t warrant letting zealots of other (or no) religious beliefs off the hook.</description>
