i l l m a t i c Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 SOFIA, Bulgaria - Incredulous doctors made five blood tests on a drunken man to confirm he had a blood-alcohol content of 0.914, far above the usual life-threatening range, police and doctors said Tuesday. The 67-year-old man, whose name was not released, was hospitalized Dec. 20, when a car knocked him down on a street in the southern Bulgarian city of Plovdiv. A breath test showed high blood alcohol level, but police officers thought the result was inaccurate, because the man was conscious and talked with them, said Col. Angel Rangelov, head of police in Plovdiv. Laboratory analysis of five subsequent blood samples taken the same day confirmed that the man had had a 0.914 blood alcohol content, Rangelov said. An 0.55 blood-alcohol level is usually considered as life-threatening. Dr. Svetlan Dermendzhiev of Plovdiv's University hospital told state news agency BTA he had not seen such a high level. The man was reported in stable condition after treatment for head injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverlordMondo Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Psh. I talk and stand when I'm drunk all the time. I'm pretty sure I got a 2.0 on one of those things before, and I was in perfect condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
