The legal level for intoxication is .08% in most states. You think that's .02% from blackout level in some people? Really?
Legal level for intoxication was .11% for most states up until about 10 -15 years ago. Thats above blackout level according to you.
No the reality is .1% is impaired. Not non functioning.

I didn't say what a definitive blackout level is; in-fact no-one did, but the prosecuting attorney did say that levels the accuser was at are consistent with brownouts and memory gaps similar to what she displayed when discussing the incident.
Furthermore, .10 for everyone does not affect everyone the same. Alcohol does not affect people equally. If it did, everyone who hit .40 would die. Instead, numerous people can survive, and several can die of acute alcohol poisoning at a far lower rate.
Please, though, I'm sure you can educate him and us all more on what alcohol does to memory, and the body, given that you are the obvious expert. And since you read up on all of this, why can't you differentiate brownout from blackout?
