I always assumed that title was held by this guy

 

That's not booze. That's Bath salts or Molly. Makes you lean back like that 😏 🤪

 

Nancy Peolsi ftw!

 

At 78% he'd be way past dead and thoroughly marinated.

 

That's a false test. It happens all the time, it's just usually not THAT wrong.

 

I agree

 

Yeah, I don’t think that’s possible. That test is flawed . He’d be oozing alcohol out of every pore and orifice lol

 

0.78 percent, maybe, and at that I'd be really skeptical. I've heard of people with BAC as high as 0.40, most of whom died of alcohol poisoning.

 

Years ago when I was volunteer road accident rescuer, we had a person over .40 and it was exceptionally high, LEO said if he didn't die in the car accident that level of alcohol in the system would put him close to death. It appeared to me that the readings always appeared higher on dead people - coincidence?

 

The test is probably wrong, but the article definitely is. A .78 BAC is .78% alcohol by volume, not 78%. He'd need a Jack Daniels transfusion neat to hit 78%.

 

Guy I know works with people with addictions. He said the highest he's ever seen was .55. My girlfriend was .40 one really bad night.

 

Low .40's and most people are dead. Put me in the skeptical camp

 

chug a pint bottle then take a breath test in 20 minutes, you will blow over .30 with ease. Unless your body rejects the alcohol and you start puking. I blew a .22 an hour after my accident/DUI in 1986. I did puke after chugging peach schnapps. I know I had 26 shots that night before leaving the bar and blindly driving away.

 

Sounds about right.

 

One night a co-worker made a DWI arrest and asked me to run the intoxilizer (breath test) as I was certified at the time. When I got to the jail I looked at his driver and other than having a red nose she did not appear to be highly intoxicated. She could walk and talk just fine. He said she almost passed the 9 step walk and turn and the one leg stand but her nystagmus was 6 out of 6 clues. I started my 15 minute wait period and made some small talk with her. She claimed she had not had anything to drink. From her actions I just assumed she was coming down and was possibly not legally intoxicated. I run her through the test and read the results on the print-out. .388 and .390. I looked at her and told her she had lied to me...lol. When I showed her the results she admitted that she drinks 2 liters of vodka every day and she was all of about 130 pounds. The arresting officer had to bring her to the hospital for treatment before the jail would accept her back.

 

Soccer Mom Vodka queen with a handle of 80 proof. Made my 12 pack a night habit at the time seemed like weaksauced.

 

Since most whiskey is 86 proof or, so even with his veins 100 percent filled to capacity with straight booze, he would NOT be 78 percent.
78 percent alcohol would be around 156 "proof" .

So, this article is one that nowadays typically doesn't proof their story, and has NO idea WTF they are talking about.

DUI breath test would yield a .78% number.

 

Sounds like a new challenge to best the high score.

They removed breathalyzers from local bars for this reason. Not being used as the awareness function it was intended for. It became a game to set a new high score.

 

There have been lots of BAC'S in the .70-.50 range that were based on a blood test at the hospital and confirmed with a 2nd blood test.

 

Reading about Anne Heche being burnt reminded me of being in the burn unit. The nurses kept asking if I used drugs. I took a puff once 10 years earlier and don't even drink beer. I asked why they kept asking, they said the amount of morphine I had in me , I should not be able to function like I was. Have no ideal why i could take a lot of morphine, and most of those day I wish it would have knock me out.

 

My wife and I went to see her dying father Saturday night at the hospital (he died Sunday morning). It was a pretty horrible experience, so we went to a bar on the way home to have a quick drink. I had 2 pints of 4.6% alcohol beer in 30 minutes and got breathalysed by the Police 10m after we left the bar on the way home. Blew under .05 and was sent on my way. People absorb alcohol differently. My mother would get drunk and pass out on one glass of wine…..I’m still trucking after a six pack of beer and a bottle of Scotch….everyone is different

 

Looks like a .74 was the old record, so it seems possible to have a .78. A Bulgarian dude that got in a car accident in 2004 registered a .914...doctors checked on 5 different tests. He's the high score it seems

 

I blew a .28 and walked into the jail. That was a hour after the initial arrest. It was also 30 years ago. LOL
Triglycerides were 840 for note.
