Default Steve Foley and the .233 BAC level

For those of you who don't know, Steve Foley was a football player who was recently shot by an off duty police officer. The officer followed Foley for over 30 miles at speeds exceeding 90mph. The police recently released a statement claiming that Foley's BAC at the time he was shot was .233. The whole story sounds really, really strange so I looked up on the Internets to see how many drinks I would have to drink to get to .233 bac. Click on the link below to find out. I'm at .233 after drinking 11 martinis or 14 beers in one hour. Now I don't know about you, but if drink at that rate I am falling down, seeing triple blotto azz drunk. There is no freaking way I could drive a car for 30 miles at 90 mph without crashing.

Yeah, for Foley this would mean about the same thing (15-16 drinks in an hour).

This has been fishy to me from the start, and this kinda fuels that. WTF SDPD?

Eddie Sutton blew a .22 after his car accident last basketball season.

according to your link 20 beers over 5 hours, for someone who weighs 265 pounds (Foley's weight) is .23 BAC. The thing with BAC is just because its 14 beers in 1 hour, doesnt mean if spread out you'd have to average that much per hour.

I have no problem believeing his BAC was .233. It takes an hour for the body to proccess one drink (shot of liquor, beer, glass of wine). So if he had several drinks over a few hours, got in the car, sees he's being followed, adrenaline kicks in... end of story.

I think it's funny that the SDPD released the info as though his high BAC vindicated the officer for shooting Foley three times in the back of his leg, and shooting as his car multiple times.

"Officials said Foley's Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme was being driven erratically at 3 a.m., which caught the attention of off-duty Coronado police officer Aaron Mansker.

Mansker was dressed in civilian clothes and was driving his own black, unmarked Mazda sedan on his way home from work. "

He shot the car as a warning. When cops start firing their guns, it means it is serious. Lay the F down!!!!

Shoot an unarmed black man 3 times = problem

Shoot an unarmed black man 3 times who is drunk = Good police work?

20 beers over 5 hours and you are passed out. I guess now we're gonna get a bunch of internet dudes claiming they could do this and still know where they are.
