Greetings,
I'm sitting here at work, going over a DUI case. My client says that he puts Wild Turkey in his chew to "enhance the flavor." I have never heard of that before, and up til now, I thought I'd heard it all when it comes to defenses.
Has anybody ever heard of putting whiskey in your chewing tobacco?

How is that a defense? how much coulkd he have added, a quart? did he blow? how high? did he refuse to blow? what were the results of the FSTand the HGN? Im pretty sure washington has a law that to get a DL you have to be willing to submit to a BA upon request. What was the PC for the initial stop? there are chews, cigars and pipe smokes that have added liqure flavorings. they are not going to cause a read on an intoxilizer.

There's one flavor of Copenhagen that has whiskey "flavor" in it, tried it once, was Copenehagen Black mebbe?
Could see how you'd aquire whiskey breath from flavorin' yer snuff.......

You never heard of it?
You just take a plug of chaw and put it in your mouth, then you put some Wild Turkey in your mouth, then you put some more Wild Turkey in your mouth, then some more...

copenhagen black is the bourbon flavored one and have a dip of it in my mouth now but it does nto have real bourbon. used to take copenhagne cans tat got dried out and put a little crown royal (maybe 1 - 1 1/2 cc's) in it to moisten it up and add a thin slice of green apple and let sit for a few days in the fridge, was a good treat.
i agree with the consensus thus far, you just cant add enough whiskey in a 1 1/2 oz chew can to make much of a difference on a pbt if there is even a dip or two fo chew left in it as the can itself is the size of a single shot glass

Regardless of whether one blows or not, is "drunk" or not...here, if a gent gets pulled over and has whiskey on his breath he's got heap big trouble to contend with...
IOW, if the LEO smells it on you...you'd be needing a lawyer most likely.

Wade,
I've known a few guys that will add bourbon or brandy to snuff, but mostly it's just to moisten up an old can.

No mouth check was conducted by the cop prior to the administration of the Portable Breath Test. Consequently, the client may have been blowing whiskey into the mouthpiece--which, of course, produces false positves. The alcohol is from the mouth, not the bloodstream.
It would not take more than a drop half the size of the head of a pin to produce a BAC reading of .20 or higher.

Greetings, Has anybody ever heard of putting whiskey in your chewing tobacco? Yep. I used to drink and smoke, ( and chew), and do the hootchie kootchie. I generally only chewed during hunting season and my snuff and/or my 'little bandits' would tend to dry out. My cure was to pour a little whiskey in or on 'em to keep 'em moist. Of course I'm reformed now and most of that stuff is a vague memory. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Typical lawker BS. "It would not take more than a drop half the size of the head of a pin to produce a BAC reading of .20 or higher."
So he wasnt transported and put on a breathalizer? So he kept the chew in his mouth during the entire observation period? Was there a can or pouch of chew listed on his inventory sheet when he was prosessed?
Thats why they wont let cops be on jurys.
I hope you make good money off this guy, but, be prepared to give him a ride home.
Was a FST perfomed? HGN?

Some old timers did, and some of it is still cured with whiskey/bourbon commercially. Have no idea how much if any alcohol remains. Nor, no idea if possible to effect alcohol test, but might make one's breath smell "alcohol" like.

My Gradpa has put Whisky in his chew for as long as I can remember.
IIRC the chew really soaks up quite a bit of the Whisky.

Has anybody ever heard of putting whiskey in your chewing tobacco? ABSOLUTELY! Although I rarely do it anymore. Brandy is best. I have an old high school buddy that swears by Slo Gin. Of course, we're talking Copenhagen here. Users of other brands may have their own recipes.... Casey
