Debra Bolton had a glass of red wine with dinner. That's what she told the police officer who pulled her over. That's what the Intoxilyzer 5000 breath test indicated -- .03, comfortably below the legal limit.I don't see the cops arresting idiots for driving! Seems to me that idiots are far more dangerous than a woman who's had a glass of wine for dinner. And there's no law against falling asleep at the wheel, yet people wreck all the time because of it. Sure, getting behind the wheel when you've had more than a few is a bad idea, but a couple of drinks is not going to impair one's driving, unless of course the person is a moron. In those cases, the people shouldn't be driving anyway.
She had been pulled over in Georgetown about 12:30 a.m. for driving without headlights. She apologized and explained that the parking attendant must have turned off her vehicle's automatic-light feature.
Bolton thought she might get a ticket. Instead, she was handcuffed, searched, arrested, put in a jail cell until 4:30 a.m. and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol.
Our country has been brainwashed by the teetottlers of this country into thinking that every sip of alcohol makes a person wasted. There's no common sense when it comes to alcohol policies. There have been studies that have shown that a drink or two actually makes a person MORE aware of what's going on. Anyone who has ever worried if a rent check was going to clear of if a deadline would be met knows that stress isn't exactly conducive to concentration, and a beer can help take a bit of the edge off. Kind of like yoga for lazy people.
