Whenever that happens, there's a part of me that wonders if he partied last night, slept it off, then got behind the wheel thinking that he was sober. Basically a Donte Stallworth scenario, minus the death. I think that's a little more excusable, if only because there's a good chance that he exercised some care and might not have even realized that he was still above the limit.
God knows I've woken up still obviously drunk plenty of times, and I'm sure there are many more times that I felt fine but would have blown over the limit.
Maybe I am a little nieve as I dont drink much but how much would you have to drink to wake up the next morning drunk? And does this really make it more excuseable or actually make it worse. Sure you can sort of understand where someone would think they are fine to drive after a nights sleep but then you have to wonder why the hell that much booze was consumed and is this not a bigger probelm than stupidly getting behind the wheel too soon when you had 2 or 3 drinks.
I guess even I have had a night or two in my life where I suppose I could have still been over the legal limits the following morning but it was probably following the Red Sox winning the title in 04 or the first time I ever had hard booze as a teenager. But not a random Thursday night.

I believe most people burn off 1 drink an hour and are above the limit in under 4 drinks, so by my math if you start drinking @ 8pm that'd be 11 + 4 = 15 drinks. If you drink from 8-2 that's less than 3 drinks per hour, going to bed drunk, and waking up feeling a bit tired. That's the best case scenario though...
the pot possession should be an automatic 6 game unpaid vacation
WTF
Yeah, pot is way worse for you than booze is.
When one is against league rules and the other isn't, Yes it is. :bricks:
