Woman sets intoxication record for WA

[Vidda]

Damn!

 

[Colt45]

pffft.

My BAC is .47 when I'm sober.

 

[Farang]

Does that mean drinking her blood would burn more than a shot of whiskey?

 

[NatePo717]

.47! Damn is right! :shocked:

I responded to an auto accident one morning, and a woman had run a stop sign because she spilled her coffee, and struck a fellow about 50 years old. They were both fine, and he acted normal. One of the local cops smelled alcohol on him and did a PBT. He blew a .44 !! You would have never know it by his behavior. They took him to ER for a blood draw to confirm it........ And the accident wasn't even his fault.....

Damn... that means that her blood had more alcohol in it than most hard alcohol.

 

[WCRemix]

Wow, I'm surprised she was actually able to get into car accidents.

 

[pennylane]

Isn't the BAC a percentage? Thus a BAC = 0.47 is actually 0.47% and not 47%?

*edit* period in the wrong place

Er, no, that's half of 1%. Beer is commonly 5%, wine 12%, hard liquor 40%. It's a lot for blood, but not much compared to actual alcohol.

 

[Farang]

.47%.. that makes much more sense.

I inserted an actually in-between the . and the 47%. You can see it in your original quote. I've since edited it. D'oh.

I didn't know if I was too drunk to read it correctly...

 

[TraumaRN]

Not to sound like I'm trumping here but working inner city ER I've seen blood levels with people that higher or even higher...I've seen many many people over .4 which is usually an alcoholic...

Highest I've seen yet was an alcoholic whose was .524

:Q

But .47 is still freakin crazy for ANYBODY

47% = 47$?

:laugh:

I once blew a .42 on my birthday in Vegas. I had about 10 friends there and they all kept buying me shots when midnight hit. I woke up the next afternoon and blew a .17.

 

[pennylane]

I'm not drunk I swear. Caffeine makes my hands fidgety.

 

[b0mbrman]

I've had a subordinate show up to work with a .26. Mind you, he was showing up to work after lunch :Q

 

[SoulAssassin]

The best part isn't even in that article. She was a cop. I love the "blowthis" in the link.

My favorite quote today is from that article: "Most people black out at between 0.35 and higher," said Detective Tim Gately.

I'm sure I've been up there, I've popped the top on a 1.75l liquor bottle more than once and remembered nothing till waking up the next day to see 2-3" left in the bottom. I don't drive when drinking though, of course. And it's pretty infrequent that I drink... but man, when i do :Q

Yeah, I learned in high school that .4 and above was pretty much death, for the average person.
