You aren't of course, but then the officer brings out his machine and if you pass we will pay out.
Your numbers go against everything I have ever heard about blood alcohol content. (Unless you happen to weigh in at 350.)

I've played with two different breathalyzers. The 0.05 tests was with a consumer grade breathalyzer, the 0.08 test was with a breathalyzer provided by the university for a research project. It was not my project so I can't attest to its accuracy, but it looked more elaborate than the home rig.
I get a laugh that people are using an online BAC calculator to refute real world results. It would not surprise me if the online calculator had a fudge factor in to prevent any liability and also to get people to err on the side of caution.
I will happily submit myself to a 7 beer scenario again with any provided tester to see how it pans out. For the record, the 7 beers was cans, not pints. 7 pints and I'd be in a world of hurt.
At the time of the test, I was 220lbs.
I'm currently ~200lbs, but 6'7", so no idea if that means bigger internal organs and more processing capacity.
I also realized there was an error in my first post, it was 7 beers in about 1.5 hours, not 1 hour.
