WHAT WAS PRESIDENT BUSH'S BLOOD ALCOHOL LEVEL WHEN HE WAS CONVlCTED OF DUI?
99975
The police officer who arrested Bush on Sept. 4, 1976, said Bush's blood-alcohol level was 0.10 percent, the legal limit in Maine at the time. \n\nHandwritten notes from the hearing officer who reinstated Bush's license in June 1978 indicated "BAC .12," an apparent reference to Bush's blood-alcohol content. The hearing officer, who doesn't remember the hearing, also wrote: "drinks infrequently — 1/ month & occasional beer."

depends if hes had a drink or not

It's over twice the legal limit for driving in most states.\n\nI think it corresponds to about 9 drinks in a short period of time for an average-sized male, so that seems rather low to be arrested for public intoxication.

It depends on how much and the % of alcohol. As for the pot, they have tests now that can trace it back by years.

It depends on the state but in most states you are allowed to drive after a number of drinks as long as you are within the blood-alcohol threshold. In Texas it is currently set at .08.

Failure to keep open containers of alcoholic beverages out of the passenger area of vehicles is now a Class C misdemeanor in Texas with a fine of up to $500. Texas Alcohol Traffic Safety Education Association urges all drivers to drive safe and sober, and not to drink if you are under 21. \n\nJohn\nCriminal Justice Student

Former police officer/current attorney\n\nRegarding the answer by "Superstar"...it is true that pure alcohol has no odor. But, alcoholic beverages do smell, usually like sh!t after awhile. You put a drunk in the back of a squad car, and it smells HORRIBLE...\n\nI would interested be in knowing what the legal limit is in your state. In Indiana it is .08% BAC. However, a defendant can still be charged even though they tested below the legal limit. The state would then have to show that the defendant, even though below the limit, was too impaired to drive. \n\nAs far as the defendant "appearing" sober...I've seen people who tested in the .25% to .30% range and appeared perfectly normal. Career alcoholics have a higher tolerance than others.\n\nThe red eyes and slurred speech are "typical" fluff to try and prove intoxication and/or impairment. The field sobriety tests are useful, especially if taped. \n\nGiven your facts it would be tough...especially if the defendant was slightly below the legal limit, and the state was trying to get him convicted on the impairment aspect instead, tough call.

There are several types of breath analyzers, including those for field sobriety checks and those for testing after being arrested. The multiple zeros are in reference to the blood alcohol content inside of your body. take a reading of .008 for example. This means that you have .008 grams of alcohol per liter of breath in your body. It is a ratio used to determing if you are over the legal limit in order to convict for intoxication charges.

LOL @ sighted. Are you a UFO that was sighted by observers at Area 51? I don't think you'll go to jail for more than 16 months for giving alcohol to a minor. Just kidding! Maybe 15 months!

He was drunk and out-of-control?

After a large, starchy meal, the amount of alcohol naturally produced may result in a blood level of 0.005 percent or more. Our body naturally rids itself of alcohol in this way via the liver and this enzyme.

Fighting a DUI in any state is tough. Chat with other people who have been on trial for DUI. There are several factors that make a person guilty or not guilty. Assuming you are the driver and you have had at least one drink with alcohol before driving and you have not been found guilty of DUI in the past. Questions you need answered:  (1) was your blood alcohol content .08 or above. You can, on your own, obtain your BAC results from the agency that charged you. This has a time limit. (2) Are you 21 years of age. If under 21 NO alcohol is allowed BAC of 0.00 is legal. (3) Why were you stopped? There has to be a reason why the officer stopped you. Did you break at least one out of about 1200+ traffic laws in the State of Ca? I feel these are three questions you must have answered before freaking out \n\nDrinking alcohol------------------> Driving------------------> Breaking a traffic law------------------------>getting stopped by police----------------->failing one field sobriety test------------------->arrest-------------->BAC test (breath or blood) evidence--------------->citation issued-------------------->released from arrest---------------> call a lawyer or not…can’t sleep at night….freaking out.\n\nIf you have been charged with DUI and have not gone to trial, do about 3 hours research before hiring a lawyer. Check out case law and case ruling on recent DUI trials in CA. Get stats on sentences for first time offenders. You should see a trend in fines, probation, time served….. In many states there is a max. sentence for a class one misdemeanor (ex. Max 1 year jail, 3 years probation, $2500 fine). This is told to you by the judge at your first court appearance. People freak when they hear this. This is where case law and rulings come in. Usually if found guilty you will (pay a fine, spend one night in jail, have to go to AA meetings, be put on 1 year unsupervised probation, loose driving privileges for 3 months) This is common.   \n\n If the only factor is DUI not involving a prior criminal history, accident, injury, death, damage, extreme DUI, a felony (drugs, weapons….). Get your BAC results. Find out why you were stopped. Get a copy of the Police DUI report. Look over the officer’s narrative (find out how you did on the Field Sobriety Tests). Don’t think you are the first person this has happened to. If the odds are not in you favor (if your at this point there probably not) go into court, plead guilty, take your lumps OR spend $6000 on a lawyer, listen to him tell the judge what a nice person you are, listen to him ask the officer questions he already knows the answer to (impressing you, getting more of your money, looking smart). Get a hug and a “I’m sorry” when found guilty. Get the same sentence you would have gotten if you would have pled guilty. \n\nThe way to beat a DUI is learn from your mistake. You committed a crime. Thank goodness you were stopped before someone was killed. Thank goodness this can be put behind you. Thank goodness you don’t have to live with this the rest of you life. Thank goodness you are worried and want to know how to fight a DUI, it shows that you know you did something wrong. I’m happy you’re a fighter. Keep your head up and come out a winner in this fight. \n\nI’m writing this because when an accident involving the death of an innocent person and a driver who is DUI my heart falls out of me. Lives are ruined on both ends. Lives of good people on both ends are torn apart. What a shame when a night of celebration turns into 20 years behind bars and people taking their last breath.. Think what a lucky person you are. I have seen too many who were unlucky.   \n\nYour Honor, I made a mistake. I haven’t made this same mistake since. I know I used bad judgment. I know this could have turned out to be a lot worse than it did. I’m just happy that I was stopped before more damage was done. I know that I will be punished for my bad judgment

According to New York Law I think .08 is the legal limit of alcohol in the blood. That said, depending on the alcohol content in the drink and amount of food in your stomach, I believe will change that blood level higher or lower. Do u understand that?\nNow a story : In 1968 when I was in the Navy 2-3 screwdrivers got me drunk 12 would have the toilet as my roommate for the night. I used to drive home from Mexico when I felt I could but I also handed over the wheel if "I" thought I should, those were the good old days b4 MADD. I may not like them personally, but today this country needs them! Sh don't tell them I said that!

that would be? 10 years ago is not counted with this new offense unless you were extreme DUI or injured someone. That is a pretty high reading. You go to jail in most states at .08. thank the cop for giving you a break and citing and releasing you. the other drunks may have puked on you.

DUI is driving under the blood alcohol content.  DWI is driving over the blood alcohol content.  Most states have a .08 alcohol limit.  So if you have had a few drinks and register a BAC of under .08 you are driving under the influence and not legally drunk.  If your BAC is .08 or over you are driving while intoxicated, meaning you are legally drunk.

Are you sure it wasn't a DUI?  It seems like it should have been.  Did the officer give you a breath test or anything to determine your Blood/Alcohol?  Did he perform field sobriety tests?  If not then the judge will not know if you were impaired or if you were even over the legal limit.  Usually judges don't ammend charges anyway.  They make a decision on what the officer gives them.  They don't just go adding charges that can't be proven.
