So you went out on Thursday, and you're wondering just how drunk you are Friday morning. Probably still pretty drunk if you drink like these people.
But, our most surprising results came from the last house. We visited Amy and Brian almost six hours after we sent them home.

After a not so stellar sobriety test, Brian blew exactly a 0.08 -- legally drunk in the state of Texas.

Amy blew a 0.103 -- well above the legal limit.
That's what sick days are for, Amy!

But the best line in the story, from Deputy Brian Hawn, regarding people that appear impaired, yet pass the breathalizer test:
"In the state of Texas, numbers don't kill people. Impairment is what kills people," Hawn said.
Really? So if a driver blows 0.11% while exhibiting no signs of impairment, will you just send them on their merry way? I don't think so.
