Found on BoingBoing Wednesday night: Rhode Island police say man had .491 aclohol level.
OMG what? For reference’s sake: One-half of one percent of his bloodstream was alcohol. .491 is SIX TIMES the legal limit for driving drunk in most states. At .4, one should be in a coma, and at .5 your life’s pretty much shot.
Wanna know the kicker? He’s not even the drunkest person ever recorded. The Bulgarians got the record 3 years ago with a 67-year-old that blew 0.914. According to this article, the police thought their equipment was broken, and tested him 5 times.
I’m doing it wrong.
