Police stop a 35-year-old driver. A breath test shows an alcohol concentration of exactly 0.08. The driver says, "I feel fine, and I drove well." Under Texas law, is the driver intoxicated?
Correct answer: Yes, because 0.08 or more is intoxicated, however the driver feels
Why
Texas law defines "intoxicated" in two ways: an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more, or the loss of the normal use of mental or physical faculties from alcohol or drugs. Either one is enough, so a driver at 0.08 is intoxicated with no other signs, and a driver below 0.08 can still be intoxicated. Drivers under 21 have a stricter rule: any detectable amount of alcohol is an offense.
