God damn, wouldn't that kill a man? I think it's around .4 where it begins to get lethal.

correct me if i'm wrong, but that means 69% of his blood was alcohol?

0.69 % of his blood was alcohol.

 

[IanDork107]

hmm, well that doesn't sound like too much...

Consider, though, that the legal limit for operating a motor vehicle in most states is, I believe, 0.08. Then consider nearly 9 times that amount.

 

[mindspell]

Well it is if you think that the legal limit is .08 %

Once very drunk I tested on a machine that was on the wall at the club I was in and I tested 0.15 and I didn't walk straight at all.

Kleo's episode last night was probably around the 0.2

Yeah, i'm not denying that the guy must've been fucked beyond belief no matter how well he holds his alcohol, but still, less than 1% of his blood as alcohol isn't dramatic enough for my liking.

So we'll just say that 69% of (1/100th of) his blood was alcohol.

There are a lot of "professional" drunks that can hold a .27 without coming off as drunks. But a .69 is just mindblowing. That dudes liver has to be hard as steel now.

No one will ever have a BAC of 1% unless they’re pounding Everclear postmortem or intravenously. The lethal BAC for most people is .4% with slight variations dependant upon sex and weight. If this man truly had a BAC of .69% he’s lucky to be alive, and I almost can’t fathom how he was even conscience.
