The bodies abilty to metabilize the alcohol and therefore remove it does not mean that .1% make you drunker, it means you stay at that level longer.

None of that was relevant to the victim. It was an example of how different individuals metabolize alcohol differently, which you originally claimed wasn't true. Perhaps she actually metabolized it a lot faster, and thus was closer to .14 or .15.
