It was worth a shot.

A Nebraska woman busted for driving while heavily-intoxicated told cops not to worry because she “is a professional drinker,” an officer tweeted Thursday.

The driver maintained that “she had very little to drink” despite being arrested for both a DUI and speeding in Omaha, Nebraska, read the tweet posted by an officer local ABC affiliate KETV has identified as Omaha Police Department Officer Jeremy Zipay.

However, a subsequent field test revealed that clearly wasn’t the case.

“What she thought was being efficient only showed more impairment,” per the tweet. 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. However, her improv skills have made a splash on social media, garnering responses such as, “and how does one get the title of ‘professional drinker’ ” and “is that a legal definition?”

The Omaha PD declined to comment.

The Twitter account has posted a plethora of outrageous DUI stories, but few resonate like this one. A close second may be the tale of a Florida DUI suspect who claimed “he was not drinking while the car was moving, only when he stopped for signs and traffic signals.”
