3 pints over 1.5 hrs with a large meal. 45 min later I recorded a 0.044, almost a 24 hour suspension...
I have a hard time believing 10.5 ounces wouldn't have put that person on their butt and they would have recorded a far greater BAC than 0.05.

That's not a seasoned drinker. Early 90's I (pulled over for speeding) recorded 0.27 at the station and could walk a perfect straight line, carry a normal conversation, answered all the officer's strategic questions without hesitation to the point the RCMP thought there was an issue with their equipment as people at half that level were typically incoherent. That's a seasoned drinker.
Anyway I can say after serving my one year suspension and dealing with harsh insurance for five years I learned my lesson and have never driven drunk again. I'm okay with this personally as I have kids now and one of them had a close call with a sober driver let alone one one driving at 0.05 or more.
