A serious issue for people who are closet alcoholics, when trying to convince someone of authority you are sober. After consuming one too many rye and cokes your non--dominant eye decides it's going to take the night off. It's a 'tell' that gives away a persons level of inebriation for A mild case would be after a couple one eye would not be fully open. After a few more the eye now also looking another direction but it seems not to be focusing or functioning. Almost like it is offline. The other eye seems to be functioning normally. A full blown case would have both eyes looking in different directions. They are basically anywhere except where the person is trying to look. This indicates a blood alcohol level nearing unconscious and the person will not remember much.
"Sir you know why I pulled you over. Sir I'm over here. Have you had anyrhing to drink tonight"
"No. No idea."
"No you haven't neen drinking? or No you have no idea how the garbage can got lodged under the front of your car and why you didn't notice it. Sir you look like you have a bit of 'rye eye' going on. Can you try to look at me for a second"
"No.... I am looking at you, ...yep thats great i was wondering what that was....I had one beer with dinner an hour ago....someone could have been hurt leaving their garbage can in the middle of the crosswalk like that..."
"Sir its six in the morning. Would you mind stepping out to do a sobriety test"
"No........ problem... six?.. what time is garbage pick up"

At this point one gets out and is disoriented by flashing cop lights and attempts to lean up against the car real smooth like but is about 4 feet away from anyrhing and starts fall over trying to save oneself only makes it worse and adds a horizontal acceleration vector to the vertical gravitatiial one heading towards ground. One becomes almost parallel to ground as they are about to make contact with the pavement. This would be an epic move into a swimming pool or slip and slide but attemting this move in a t-shirt and shorts on gravel covered concrete while not attempting to stop fall using arms, looks like a fish jumping out of water and landing in boat with grip type bottom coming to an abrupt stop resulting in road rash.
