I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.
@frozen4champs One of my neighbor's friends was a victim. I didn't ask details, and she didn't offer any, as to the condition (so to speak) of her friend, but 🙁
When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.
The guy had a .325 BAC at 8:00PM and was pulling in for MORE?!

it will be interesting to see what comes out as authorities determine what he did earlier in the day and his previous stops. To have BAL that high and be alive indicates a chronic problem. Depending on circumstances if he was at other places earlier they could be on the hook for legal action.

Gram alcohol laws and TIPS alcohol training I go through every so many years for vending alcohol at the stadiums.
I'm sure @the-rube does the same with his side gig.
Keep your stick on the ice...
I have no official training, really. Given his past history, and current "functionality" in this incident, I am guessing he is a functioning alcoholic. His lawyers' initial statements, paraphrasing, "He hasn't been in trouble with the law unless it involves alcohol, and he doesn't have a problem." Yeah, I kinda think he does.
As for IDing, I look at height, weight, eye color, little things on the ID. Don't bother with the address. Check body-build, and flat-out ask "are you 21?" Stings cannot lie, from what I've been told. I've had some doozie excuses for no ID "I forgot my ID at college" on the first day of Spring Break. Ok, yeah, sorry, you're not getting booze.
Also have had a person buy 2 pints and leave (presumably to the strip mall bathroom) in 2 hours, 2 separate transactions. Not selling you a 3rd pint, person. No way.

When I worked at Tonka Bottle Shop there was a guy that come in to buy a 12-pack of Natty Light and (iirc) a fifth of Karkov every day. He used to drive but got a DUI, he then would ride a bike and got another DUI on that, and so he was then reduced to walking.
He was at one point after that caught trying to shoplift in TBS and was banned from the store. If you know the area at the time it was the only LQ for miles. This was before the Wine Shop opened nearby, and before MGM that is now open near Cub at 7 and 101.
So I have no idea where would go after that to get his fix. Walk all the way to Wayzata Wine & Spirits? Or way down Minnetonka Blvd towards I can't even think how far he had to go. Addiction is a bitch.

I would not count on the sting subjects telling the truth. I had a buddy who was a cop in a larger city. He was part of several prostitution stings when he was early in his career. One of the cops in the car with a hooker was letting her play with his dingy and he let it go too far... made a mess. My buddy was dying laughing at his coworker as he told me the story. I was in shock over the story. I asked if he could get in trouble for letting her touch him and he said it was fairly common and no issue.
I don't think lying is going to cross any lines.
Anyone tried Wells Roadside yet in SLP? I never want to the prior place (and obviously can't visit Wells) so I can't compare the before and after.

Not yet, but it must be better than Galaxy.
