There are a lot of variables that are taken into consideration before we make our decision to arrest or let go. I've done tests on someone that was .16-.2 (can't remember) and they passed with flying colors. Good thing about that was it was a controlled environment for training. Alcohol affects everyone differently so the ones that count are the people who are obviously impaired and a danger to society. You can be like the lady at .16 and be fine or you can be a .05 and can't stand up...
