I got field sobriety tested and I had to do the alphabet thing a-w backwards and I ran through it fast as shite and correct.
You are a hell of a lot smarter than I am. I got pulled over and had to do the field sobriety tests and failed 3 out of 5 and I wasn't close to being near the limit. I drove away laughing how freaking bad I did.
I couldn't say the alphabet backwards at noon, with nothing to drink for days, much less at 2:00 am with a beer or two in me, and 3 cops shining their spotlights on me.

you have to focus.
I was actually a pretty dang good drunk driver, but I had a death wish. 3 single car crashes out in the country on curvy arse Arkansas roads at .20+ bac. You know you need to stop and sleep it off, you know you need to slow down, you know you need to change...but you can't. You just mash the gas harder, go faster, drive in the opposite lane with the headlights off, you push it to all limits and somehow survive to do it again the next day or next weekend.
Cheat death enough times and it becomes a norm and a normal way of life. I feel that Petrino had a bit of that mentality. Live in Fayetteville for 4 years and you'll crave some extra excitement in life.

same. I don't think that test proves anything.
