Sorry I assumed the guy was driving in the area of the hit and run, went home and started drinking post accident.
Any way you look at it, you can create a scenario where someone gets wrongly accused and subsequently convicted. That's true for every law. The example of the woman with a medical issue not being able to blow is on one hand horrible police work. On the other, the law definitely over reaches. But the scenario where you can get busted for not drinking while not driving is generally not conceivable in the way people portray it.
There are a few challenges to this law now and I hope they amount to some reasonable changes.
