Judge: That's why it is called "driving under the influence", and it doesn't matter when the drinking happened. Influence is important, not the fact of drinking.
"I wasn't influenced by the booze. It was my own choice."
Defendant: Nuh, uh. Everyone knows it’s called “DWI”—driving while intoxicated—which doesn’t really help me either, does it?
"Your honor, I was not being influenced by the drink I had. It did not say or act in any way such that my behavior would change. Secondly, I was not driving while intoxicated. Intoxicated as defined by the dictionary literally says 'stupefied by alcohol.' that cannot have happened because at no point was I stupid."
Judges LOVE smartasses.

*sigh *, it includes intravenous drugs.
I will not stop until I find some bullshit loophole.

Most places also have open container laws.
USA and even Anglosphere is not "most places".
Are there a lot of countries that allow open alcohol containers in vehicles?
Most of legal systems try to stay logical....
