HO. LEE. CRAP. Some dude set a new "highest blood alcohol content while driving" record with .778!
quote:

According to investigators, the driver--who has not been named pending the filing of criminal charges--was involved in a hit-and-run in Madras, a city 125 miles southeast of Portland.

Upon locating the suspect vehicle, cops sought to pull over the driver, but he sped away. A short chase ended when the man, who cops described as "HIGHLY intoxicated," lost control of his car and crashed into a concrete barrier.

The driver was subsequently transported to a local hospital for a medical evaluation. A blood sample taken from the suspect was tested and showed his blood alcohol level was .778. The state's legal limit is .08.

POINT SEVEN SEVEN EIGHT! His blood was basically a Manhattan.

And yeah, it was a blood test:
quote:

In all seriousness, it is a literal miracle that this guy did not kill himself or anyone else while driving his car.

He clearly, clearly needs help. We hope and pray he gets it.

He did not die that night, but if his body is capable of sustaining a BAC of .778, he will not be alive much longer unless he seriously changes his ways.

If I was the defense attorney I would challenge that test.

I am pretty damn sure that is a medical impossibility. Somewhere right after .40 you go into a coma and don't wake up.

I dread the day when they figure out a way to check your THC/Blood content

Only Darth would be able to survive that BAC

Probably bogus. If I were the defense attorney I'd be all over the fact that there's a distinct "Suspected Driver" version of the lab. That's like sending a drug testing lab a test order for "CHONG, TOMMY." Just next-level stupid.

That's Peej's resting BAC. His mid-day BAC is easily double.

So this guy's a meta-human. Imagine discovering you have superpowers, but your ability is superhuman alcohol tolerance

Actually, I think The Boys should use that.

Yeah, not really. .

Greatly depends on person and tolerance.

Highest I've personally witnessed was .688 with a young Hispanic female and she was awake, but stuporous. She got tubed as a precaution.
