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.

Obviously an experienced drinker with quite a taste for the stuff. And no I've never heard of anything even in the same galaxy as those numbers.

I remember there was a russian dude alst year who won a vodka drinking competition. I can't remembe what the amount was but it was obscene (I am guessing but it was like 5 liters in 30 minutes or some shit like that). The competition was sponsored by a vodka producer, his prize: more vodka. He left the bar, caught a taxi, gave directions to his home, arrived and went to bed whereupon he died. I wonder hwat his blood alcohol was.
Recently overheard: "Hey Ralph, what were you drinking that time that you set your face on fire?"
