Cops have a low barrier of entry sometimes lmao

[@jonathankessler7436]

yeah. if someone presents with a BAC that high and simply appears normal, that's a pretty good sign of physical dependency that might need detox. A normal person would be slurring their speech and having trouble balancing at least at that BAC. Also, it would be impossible to maintain such a high BAC throughout the day without drinking at the location; alcoholics' livers upregulate liver enzymes, so they need to work extra hard to keep up the intoxication.

I’m afraid I have little sympathy for drunk teachers. People saying "it’s not their fault, they’re addicts"…well get help, but don’t turn up to school if you’re sloshed. Teachers are acting in loco parentis when kids are at school; would you leave your child with a drunk babysitter in charge of their welfare? I’d hope not. If you’d ever been taught at school by someone obviously intoxicated - let me tell you it’s not a fun experience and feels very unsafe - you definitely wouldn’t be so ready to make excuses for these people.

At the beginning of her part in the video, it said there was multiple reports of seeing her drinking on school grounds and the principal smelling alcohol on her breath before the police arrived. She tried to say that she only had one glass of wine the night before at 10:30pm but still had a BAC of 0.066 (which I believe she would have had to consume more than one drink to get) the next day. According to her BAC, her body would have metabolized that alcohol in like four hours. And, no, 0.066 is not legally sober for a public intoxication charge.
