With all the positive news surrounding Paris Hilton's stint in prison to surface over the last few days - news, for instance, of her supportive friends or her improving mental condition - we're saddened to report that our source says Paris's mental state has allegedly taken a recent turn for the worse during her stay at the Twin Towers detention facility. An X17 source is reporting that Paris has been assigned "three additional guards to watch her 'round the clock."
One sheriff's guard will be stationed at the elevator, one at the doorway of into the health ward, and one at the door of her room. Our sources the "sheriff is worried for Paris' mental state after recent erratic behavior" and that she has definitely not been cleared to leave the psychiatric ward.

NY Post
June 12, 2007 -- Paris Hilton is supposedly at the breaking point in jail - but she'll be breaking out the champagne and partying like mad the second she's released, if her parents get their way.
Page Six has learned that the celebutard's doting daddy, Rick Hilton, was recently shopping a "Get Out of Jail" bash for his little girl to the top Las Vegas clubs, including Pure, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and the Palms.
"He was originally asking for a $50,000 cash fee to be paid, as well as accommodations and flights," said our source. "Pure and Hard Rock said 'no' flat out, but George Maloof, who owns the Palms, didn't say yes or no. He's very good pals with Paris and is the one who once hooked her up with Britney Spears."
But following last week's Paris pingpong match - in which the L.A. Sheriff's Dept. sprung her from the slammer because of a "medical condition," only to have a judge order her back inside - Rick's big party-push has been put on hold. Still, insiders say they're positive an out-of-the-slammer soiree remains in the works and will be even more expensive than Rick originally had in mind. "Her cost has gone up," said our informer. Hilton rep Eliot Mintz did not return e-mails.

and you can kill someone by not paying attention to the road because of
--your cell phone
--the radio
--your iPod
--doing your makeup
--eating
--talking to a passenger
--thinking
--sun glare
--sneezing
--fatigue
--etc. etc. etc.
look, i'm not trying to make light of DUI/DWI. it needs to be taken seriously and my utmost sympathies to anyone who's been a victim of DUI... but there is a huge difference between having one drink and having a dozen. just because yes, you can still kill someone after one drink doesn't mean that having one drink is the same as having 10 or more.
Maneuvering through traffic while talking on the phone increases the likelihood of an accident five-fold and is actually more dangerous than driving drunk, U.S. researchers report.
That finding held true whether the driver was holding a cell phone or using a hands-free device, the researchers noted.
"As a society, we have agreed on not tolerating the risk associated with drunk driving," said researcher Frank Drews, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Utah. "This study shows us that somebody who is conversing on a cell phone is exposing him or herself and others to a similar risk -- cell phones actually are a higher risk," he said.
His team's report appears in the summer issue of the journal Human Factors.

This is such an absurd and dramatic misrepresentation of what Chizip actually posted that you cannot be serious.
You must be indulging in hyperbole.

Who blows .08% after one drink? Unless you've got an enzymatic defect (and even then, unlikely), nobody has one glass of wine and then blows a .10%.
If you're a 200 lb guy, you'd need to have 4.5 drinks IN SUCCESSION. If you space them out, subtract .01% for every 40 minutes that span your drinking. If anyone thinks it's fine for a guy to down 5 shots one after another and then get into a car and drive....I think there is something questionable with your reasoning.
Nobody gets pulled over for a DUI after 1-2 drinks. Nobody. It's not even worth discussing. Whether .08% is reasonable, however, is definitely discussion-worthy.

earlier this year i defended a 63 year old man in a similiar situation. i guess it was because i have the hots for him too.

Whatever. You're the one that brought up how hot you think she is and that the people who don't like her must be jealous.
redkat said:I thought this was interesting. I'm a .07 after one drink an hour. that doesn't even take into effect other health factors, that would probably push it higher.

Question: what about the effect of medications one might be taking (particularly meds that affect the liver in some way)? Could that skew the readings?
I ask because I used to take a depression med that seemed to intensify the effects of alcohol (having one drink would feel like two, two like four, etc.)
Had to be *very* careful about how much (or even if) to drink...

Everything you said in this post about what else can cause accidents is true. I tend to bristle at this kind of argument, however, because someone could take it as permission to drive after drinking. "Hey, I only had 2, and I KNOW I'm okay."
And you know what? They may be. But you know what? They might not be, either. I wish more people would err on the side of thinking they'd better not drive, or wait another hour before doing so.
