No, its about educating.
5 pints of full strength beer (say 4.8%) would give you a maximum BAC of 0.08. That is 1.6 standard drinks x 5, 1.6 is equivalent to 0.016 BAC.
Given that he drank them over 3 hours, and the body processes 0.01 per hour, it was never going to go up. Say the body was started processing after 1 hour, he probably maxed at 0.06. (If he drank them in a short time frame then he would reach his max)
Given the time frame between his last drink and the breath test, this would allow for some reduction.
2 hours later the blood test would 0.02 below the breath test. I don't know if they factor in the time delay, ie add 0.2 to the actual blood BAC.

Plus there are other factors like how well his liver functions, how hot it is, how big he is, error percentage in breath testers, etc

It is about educating, you're right.

Folks, if you drink 5 pints and drink you're risking your life and that of others.

Bar the lecture from Father Boon, thanks for sharing your experience Hefty, there'd be a fair few folk here thatll think twice about driving after a couple of froffies.

It can happen to you.

Yeah, you should instead drive 5 pints and drive. Much safer.
