The law doesn't prohibit carrying if you've been
drinking, the law prohibits carrying if you're
intoxicated - most folks understand there's a difference.
In this case, the woman's blood alcohol concentration tested out at 0.11 . . . in Texas, you're considered intoxicated at 0.08.
I know "a couple of snorts" wouldn't put
me up to 0.08, but maybe
she is very petite, maybe she had more than "a couple" of snorts, maybe the snorts were BIG snorts. But whatever the reason, that 0.11 BAC is going to be hard to defend once she makes it to court. (Especially since she crashed her car onto a cop.)
Last time I read the regs it seems that I remember a very important word in the sentence that talks about BAC of .08 - the word is "or". Since the word "or" is used, everything before the word "or" is also very important.
