The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“Even a lay witness may give an opinion on the intoxication of another person if that testimony is preceded by evidence of conduct and appearance observed by the witness to support the opinion, [citations omitted]. Officer Poland’s professional background and his observation of the instant circumstances made him more qualified than the average witness to state his opinion on Barrett’s intoxication. Defendant’s first point has no merit.”
