          Count your drinks (1 drink equals 1 ounce of 100-proof liquor, one five ounce glass of table wine or one 12-ounce bottle of regular beer).Use the chart below and under number of "drinks" and opposite "body weight" find the percent of blood alcohol listed.Subtract from this number the percent of alcohol "burned up" during the time elapsed since your first drink. This figure is .015% per hour. (Example: 180 lb. man - 8 drinks in 4 hours / .167% minus (.015x4) = .107 %

That board is comprised of only the most experienced and expert drunk driving attorneys in the nation. She is regarded as one of the nation's best drunk driving attorneys, with her writings on the subject of drunk driving law and drunk driving defense strategies are utilized by attorneys across the nation.
