4 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Ingram v. State · Hagood v. State“"While it is the doctrine of our cases that it is error to permit testimony to the effect that an accused was under the influence of intoxicating liquors subsequent to commission of an offense, without first showing the inaccessibility of liquor during the interim, yet a reading of the decisions pronouncing this doctrine will show that in all such a substantial period of time had elapsed between the occurrence and the time at which the accused was observed, i.e. from 20 to 30 minutes, to several hours." Moates v. State , 40 Ala. App. 234 , 237 , 115 So.2d 277 , cert. denied, 269 Ala. 698 , 115 So.2d 283 (1959) (emphasis added).”
