it's well known and documented in the literature that alcoholics process alcohol differently than the rest of us. For one thing, at that bac most of us would be driving the porcelain bus, not the kids home from school
Hopefully this woman gets the treatment she needs while in jail. To kill someone and be as unrepentant as she is demonstrates that she needs help. Unfortunately, the prognosis is not good

Cycle Year Round
Forensic toxicologists will testify that alcoholics develop an ability to get rid of the poison faster than those who do not drink regularly. The "average" elimination rate is around 0.015% per hour. So someone who has, say, maxed out at a .10%BAC and is starting to come down will be at roughly 0.085% after an hour. An alcoholic can DOUBLE that "average" - I've seen it. In one case I handled there were two blood tests taken of the drunk driver - this gave us an ability to measure his elimination rate and it was over 0.03% per hour - more than double the "average" - which was consistent with the research...

Since my previous reply, I've done some reading, and it is clear that you are correct, so, I stand corrected.

The Court opened for a rare Saturday session for the sentencing of Kelly Cox. Cox had consistently told the court, under oath, that she had only had "one glass of wine" despite evidence that she blew a 0.28%BAC - a number which would indicate that she had somewhere around TEN drinks - not one...
With regard to the quote below - the differences in the elimination rate of alcoholics and non-drinkers is not a matter of opinion, but a matter of science.
