John Daly just hasn’t been sober in 40 years and now his body processes alcohol faster than any blood test or breathalyzer to reliably detect.
He looks like he once got arrested for waiting for a stop sign to turn green.
When I was 18 I got pulled over for that actually. I got away with it because I told the cop I dropped my cigarette in my floorboard. Truth be told I was higher than bird pussy and was waiting for the green.
Nice.
The judges would also have accepted "giraffe balls" and "a kite".
You joke but my dad was the doc on some cases were the guy should have been dead from alcohol poisoning, according to modern medicine, and instead was driving with very little impediment. Mithridatisation really is a thing.
I had a coworker who got stopped for DUI at 3 AM and blew a .032. Somehow she was allowed to go home and was at work at 6:30 that same morning. Unremarkable except I'm a school bus driver, so she was driving kids three and a half hours after blowing a .032.
She was suspended and after two weeks she was allowed to resign, so she is presumably still driving kids somewhere else. The reason for this is we're unionized (Teamsters) and she was the shop steward, which made firing her very difficult. I've very pro-union but GOD DAMN there are some aspects to unions that just fucking suck.
Yeah, that's a perversion of the union system. We've the same shit with doctors sometimes (in France). It's a shame because it's an easy win for opponents of the system.
