| noonah | Are we also supposed to remember which standard is violated, or do we assume the right one is given in the question? |
| gomumia | we all are supposed to remember which standard is violated so you'd better learn them by heart |
| Slothrop | Yes, we are supposed to remember all the numbering/lettering of the subparts of the standards. |
| SkinsFan | So if he is not intoxicated he has not violated the standard? |
| eb2568 | If he is getting drunk during lunchtime everday, he has a bigger problem than worrying about his standard 1D violation. |
