Man Blames Chewing Tobacco for DUI

Could chewing tobacco make a man legally drunk?
John Daniel Drury Sr. thinks so.
Drury, who faces a drunken driving charge, told Nanticoke police that the brand of chewing tobacco he uses, Red Man Select, contains Tennessee Whiskey.
Police said Drury, 42, of Pine Street in the Hanover Section of Nanticoke, failed a series of field sobriety tests. A breath test Drury took showed an alcohol level of 0.144 percent, police said.
A person in Pennsylvania is considered legally intoxicated with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 percent.
