INGO drinkers, you're T-ball compared to this guy's World Series drinking

[BehindBlueI's]

DUI suspect with .627 BAC arrested in Iowa

The highest I ever saw was from a guy taking a little nap on the railroad tracks in the high .50 range. This fellow just shattered that record. If there's a Majors for drinking, this guy is going 1st round.

WOW!
That's what happens when you beerbong Jack Daniel's.

I like this quote -

Police said when they asked Clark what day it was, he replied, "Three, but now it is four."

We seem to cover this topic yearly.

the .700 club is when you're over .700 and still talking.

Warkentin said he was taught at police academy that someone with a BAC of more than .4 percent is "clinically dead."

He just embarrassed his teachers

 

[ModernGunner]

The fact that he's alive almost 'proves there is a god'.

.44, drove a Mercedes on top of an equipment trailer.

.56/HTV-Life, through a T intersection, rolled vehicle across recently plowed soybean field, a township FD found her IN the field facedown like Wile E. Coyote.

That is a club/record I want nothing to do with.

i suspect the dirt mushroom cloud rising above her made her easier to find?

There was a woman that died in the LaPorte County jail...I think that was just last week...that was .447 and had driven her car into a pond. The hospital did the BAC and then they took her to jail. Lots of speculation going on in the media about whether or not she should have been hospitalized for observation due to the high BAC.

Or the ACME anvil....

I've never understood how people can get that far and still be able to lift a glass to their mouth.

Yeah and who are they drinking with that will let them? Nuts.

They drink alone. They are addicts. It is not pretty.

 

[96firephoenix]

pretty sure a double shot of everclear will get you there. Don't have to worry about holding the glass for the second drink.

 

[hoosierdoc]

I have not heard of this particular one. What did she die of?

it takes an hour or so to get a BAC back. So that .447 was .417 by the time the result came back. When they discharge and take her to jail, now she's a .387.

Everything will be second guessed. We call it the retrospectoscope. It has great clarity. I wonder how many times that hospital saw her with an alcohol level that high.

Not sure it applies here, but the Feds have adjudicated that hospitals are not responsible for what happens to people who are drunk when discharged and do something to harm selves or others. It's probably more nuanced than that, but I'm glad for that ruling.

I second that.
Played quarters with everclear. They should call it everfoggy.
I was 15 and got a ride home from this college guy and his girl friend sitting between them in his Datsun pickup. Apparently I was heavily hitting on her the whole way home. I don't remember any of that or even what she looked like.

I do remember the next morning screaming at porcelain all day.








Wouldn't have changed it for nothin. I miss those days.

I assumed when someone's bac was that high that they pumped their stomach?

We rarely do that anymore. Gastric lavage doesn't help most people because most ingestions aren't life threatening And pills don't fit up the tubes we use. Alcohol is in the blood with BAC like that, can't suck it out of the stomach if it isn't there. Taking an altered person and ramming a big hose down their gullet tends to make them fight, vomit, cough, etc. that leads to aspiration of gastric contents, perforations of esophagus, and other bad things.

most of what you put in your stomach is out of there in an hour anyway. Especially liquids. We don't really dO charcoal anymore either except for rare drug ingestions. It just plain doesn't work very well and huge complications sometimes.

Oddly... She was put in jail at 10pm Friday night. She was booked at 6am Saturday. She was found dead at 1:30am Sunday.

? Alcohol withdrawal seizure? Undiagnosed trauma from car accident? Strange one for sure. I feel bad for everyone involved.
