This is an unfortunate example of misinformation. The chart was established by the Los Angeles police department in the early 1970s to justify their DWI (driving while intoxicated) program. They are far from being a definitive source of pharmacological information, despite their claiming support by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). It really is an amusing website as it is an example of fabricating "facts" and claiming expertise to fit an agenda - convictions.
