A Rhode Island man was attempting to break the blood alcohol content record previously set by an Oregon woman last January (.72), but came up short, ringing in at .491.
State Police arrested a man early Tuesday whose blood alcohol level allegedly was .491 — more than six times the legal limit — which they believe is the highest ever recorded in Rhode Island for someone who wasn’t dead.
The legal limit in Rhode Island is .08. A blood alcohol of .3 is classified as “stupor,” .4 is “comatose” and .5 is considered fatal, according to the health department.
I’m guessing this comatose guy had himself a couple of Mad Drivers, then was going to head up to Canada for some french fries and gravy. Almost made it.
On a side note, he only managed to come in 3rd in the all-time DUI BAC Competition. Some other Oregonian chick blew a .55 back in November ‘07.
Thanks for the link, Dr. Bombay.
