New Yorkers: Drink and Drive Freely

Drunk DrivingAre you an alcoholic who just loves to drive after you’ve been boozin’ it up for hours? If you’re in Albany, New York, this might be your lucky day: you can totally drink and drive legally. Newsday reports that a “new” bill which has been approved “sets the standard for driving while intoxicated at 0.18 grams of alcohol in a person’s blood.”

Yup, you’ve read it right - .18 grams of alcohol instead of “blood alcohol content.” This is why when lawmakers go dumb, the citizens get the benefits. Because of this tiny little typo, drunk driving ends up being non prosecutable until it is fixed, which, you know, considering our speedy law-making processes, could drag on well into the next year. So if you’re ever in Albany and want to legally drink and drive, this is your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Sure beats winning the Grammy’s.
