You might be hyperaware of your physical condition
but that is not typical of most people.

I'm serious. It seems like everyone is ready, willing, and even happy to write her off as a irredeemable alcoholic based on this one incident about which we know very little. I thought this was the "sensible" forum where we don't recklessly speculate. H!O blubbers, JPH!P snarks, MM-BBS sneers, but we express cautious disappointment and then wait for more information. At least that's how it used to be.

It's one thing if she thought that she was legally okay to drive (perhaps her tolerance is super high, etc), but it's entirely another once she injures two pedestrians and drives off.
