Read the comments. They are pretty funny.
If you guys don't want to check the link, the BAC, we think, was .727%.
QuoteHe must have been on his way to a Missouri legilative session
:laugh:
Isn't .6 considered lethal or toxic?
Jeeze. That man is a machine.
Holy. I do a little impaired driving law... never seen or heard of anything like that.
Guy has to be a serious alcoholic and have built up a tolerance over time... otherwise he'd be dead.
GS Jenn, I'm an attorney too. The worst I've seen in my practice is .286% (former judge).
He backed into a parked car at a late night fast food joint and drove away. Got pulled over a mile later with an 8 ball in his car seat. Nice!
Edit: which brings me to another point that just occurred to me: how much coke would you have to do to stay awake if you had a BAC of .727%? Boggles the mind.

To put it in perspective, I think John Bonham was a .41 when he died. This guy isn't far from TWICE as drunk as that.

if that is accurate id have to say long time alcoholic to be able to live. when i was a jailer. at the sherrifs office, worst we ever saw was a .303 dude was drunk as hell 3am and he wouldnt shut up lol but he was a happy drunk. no angry. he actually thanked the officers for arresting him getting him off the road. plus was hung over bigger than sh!t :laugh:
Having drunk that much it is a wonder he wasn't driving down the middle in Reverse.
We had a guy here that was so drunk when he went off the road into a snow bank he didn't know he was stuck. When the police tapped on his window he gunned the motor and tried to out run the cop. The cop ran in place next to him and the guy continued to try to out run him. His reason for stopping was he was amazed the cop could run that fast.
Same drunk was taken into police station and asked to have the lie detector test. The cop placed the man's hand on top of a copy machine and asked the man questions. The cop then hit the button and when the paper shot out he told the man, the machine said he was lying. So the guy confessed.

QuoteThe cause of death was asphyxiation caused by choking on his own vomit. A subsequent coroner inquest found no other drugs in Bonham's body. John Bonham was cremated and a funeral was held on October 10th, 1980 at Rushock parish church near The Old Hyde farm.
I don't think he died of poisioning, complications yes, but not the alcohol itself.
QuoteWhitley's alcoholism was a major contributor to his death on May 9, 1989 at age 34. Although friends and relatives claimed he had not been drinking a few hours before he was found dead in his home near Nashville, an autopsy revealed that the cause of his death was alcohol poisoning.
He was discovered to have more than five times Tennessee's legal driving limit of alcohol in his bloodstream at the time of his death.
Keith Whitley is another story. At this point in time the legal limit in Tennessee was .1 BAC.
That was a funny story about the guy stuck in the snow!
Is Keith whitley the guy that sung "Tell Lori I Love Her" right before he died because his wife, Lori Morgan had runnoft with Troy Aikmen?
