I gleaned this from the interweb today.

One question comes to mind as a read this because I don't drink enough in a month to put in a thimble and thus have no first-hand experience with hangovers etc. Can traces of a good load of alcohol be gone from your body in nine hours to the point that the law can't detect it? Looks like this guy fled and others lied for him for a bit.
I am reminded of a story:
A lawyer friend of mine who was a very high ranking officer in the Army Reserve once got a call from one of his senior enlisted soldiers who had had a single car accident near a liquor store while driving in an intoxicated state. He knew the polce were on the way and wanted to know what to do. Not wanting to lose this otherwise sterling man's service, my friend told him to get into the liquor store, buy, open, and visibly consume some booze before the cops arrived.
Good thing there was not some booze at hand this boater could consume as a ruse to throw off the authorities.
