A woman busted for driving while heavily-intoxicated told cops not to worry because she "is a professional drinker," an officer tweeted. The driver maintained that "she had very little to drink" despite being arrested for both a DUI and speeding in Omaha. An attached picture showed that she blew a 0.256 on the Breathalyzer - three times the legal alcohol limit. Nonetheless, the befuddled motorist wouldn't back down, claiming she "wasn't impaired because she's a professional drinker."

It's unknown if the booze-hound's excuse worked.
