Here is the Ohio drinking laws.
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica][FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Ohio[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica][/FONT]
- No one under the age of 21 is allowed to possess or consume any alcohol in any public or private place, unless the underage person is accompanied by a parent, spouse who is not an underage person, or legal guardian. Also anyone under the age of 18 is not allowed to possess or consume any low-alcohol beverage in any public or private place, unless accompanied by a parent, spouse who is not an underage person, or legal guardian. The limit of intoxication to drive a vehicle for someone under 21 years of age is a concentration of at least two-hundredths of one gram but less than ten-hundredths of one gram by weight of alcohol per two hundred ten liters of the person's breath. For everyone 21 years of age or more it's concentration of ten-hundredths of one per cent or more but less than seventeen-hundredths of one per cent by weight of alcohol in the person's blood.[/FONT]

It's zero tolerance in Ohio for minors. SIMV is correct- any trace of alcohol in your system, and you're done.

I have a friend that plays a sport at YSU (and was a minor at the time) who blew a 0.001, was arrested, and had to take alcohol abuse classes as punishment. Seems kinda rediculous to me, but zero tolerance is zero tolerance. Even at 315 pounds, it wouldn't take but 2 sips of a beer to register a 0.001, I'd imagine.

Scary thing is that he might have been chewing gum. I know cops have to give you something like 20 minutes before you can take a blow since gum has some sort of alcohol in it that will register.

Just a quick question for those of you bashing Boone. How many of you did not drive drunk when you were 19 years old (be it once or routenly)? I was in the air force when I was 19 and had plenty to lose including my career in the air force, but that didnt stop me. I promise you the air force preaches to you about dui more than any other job out there, except for maybe the other services. I am now 24 and smart enough not to drink and drive, so hopefully alex will learn from his mistake, and growup. I hope his just thankful that he didnt kill someone or himself.

Well, take it from an ol' USAF First Sergeant that your "I did it, so lay off the kid" schpeel doesn't hold water. I was drinking and driving myself when I was 16 (in the early '70s) when 3.2 beer was way too easy to get. That didn't change the fact that I was a real dumbass for doing so, and I never told any of my underaged troops, or my two kids when they were underaged, that's it's no big deal to drink and drive, especially when underage.
