Today, we had a school assembly at 7:00 pm about drinking and driving. There was a cop doing a demonstration of a field sobriety test on stage. I was randomly selected to perform a breathalyzer test in front of all the students and parents. I blew 0.06. FML
I agree, your life sucks 26 039

um..what were you doing drunk at school??? ydi

That's ridiculous-- you can't say yes because then they'll know you're drunk, and you can't say no because then they'll know you're drunk. Sucks.

sorry, but you deserved it. you had to know you were drunk, so why did you show up at the assembly? dumb. ass.

Um...did you drink before you got there? Cuz if you did, then yeah. Bad move. At least you have a funny story to tell later. ^_^;;

well, whoever wrote this could have used mouthwash beforehand

#13.... "13--actually it is .06%, we just don't use the percent symbol because we abbreviate it. did you really think your blood could be 6% alcohol?! honestly." Umm you really need to go back to basic math in high school. .06 IS a percentage. It's simply out of 1 instead of 100, so to rectify this: .06 * 100 = 6 (or 6%) 6 percent is nothing. I've drank up to .2 easily and gone as far as .22 on a breathalyzer when going out with my drinking buddies. Basic math: .20 * 100 = 20% It is EASILY possible to drink this much. Have you ever bothered to read the label on a liquor bottle, or did you fail at English as horridly as you did in math class? For example, Captain Morgan Spiced Rum is 100 proof, which is 50% liquor, 50% whatever the hell else they put in that delicious drink. If you drink a good amount of that, then the alcohol is transferred to the fat cells in your body, where it is temporarily stored before it is burned up and enters the bloodstream. In order to get a high BAC, it is necessary to drink a good amount and then just wait. About an hour or so after you stop drinking, the alcohol is metabolized fully and your BAC will be at it's optimal levels. So, basic math FAIL.

hahhaha yeah for being drunk at school! thats ****** funny

At least you /have/ a life, unlike some of the people posting comments here.

#168, #170, #180 Let's consult a higher source because we could all be wrong. From: http://www.bloodalcoholcontent.org/measuringbac.html "In the United States, BAC is measured by dividing grams of alcohol by 100 milliliters of blood. This is then made in to a percentage. For example, in many states, the legal limit is .08%. This means that for every 100 mL of blood, there is 8 grams of alcohol in the blood stream. " Of course, these can't be directly compared unless you know the density of alcohol. The density of ethanol alcohol, which is what we drink, is .7892 (found by dividing the figures on http://www.simetric.co.uk/si_liquids.htm by 1000 to convert kgs to gs and cubic meters to mLs). So for .06, that's 6 grams of alcohol per 100mL of blood. We want to convert one of these figures to the other. Let's do mL to grams. Since we know the ratio of grams/mL is 0.7892... G=0.7892(mLs) G=0.7892(100) and so the 100mLs would be 78.92 grams respectively. Now that both of the figures are in grams we can arrive at a percentage. 6/78.92=.076 meaning 7.6%. The only reason BAC would NOT be a straight percentage is if the original ratio was not expressed in equivalent units (i.e. milligrams per liter of blood). But in water, grams and mLs are equivalent and so we only have to factor in the density of the liquid, which in this case amplifies the effect. So BAC means that you actually have (1/0.7892)(BAC) percent blood in your bloodstream, or to sum up this wall of text: Percent Alcohol in Blood = (1.267)(BAC). Correct me if I'm wrong, nerd that I am had fun doing this.

I'm gonna trust you on that, #184. Let's go with that.

180, u r so stupid its not even funny if u drank .22 u would most certainly die u ******* retard/ liar
