Hale is the best evidence to date that when it comes to adultery, the Pentagon has two standards--one applies to the powerful and another to the grunts.

But research shows you can drink yourself silly before reaching .08: a 170-lb. man can guzzle four martinis inside an hour on an empty stomach before he gets there. He may not be sloppy drunk, but who wants...
