SOFIA, BULGARIA - Bulgarian doctors tested a man's blood-alcohol level five times before accepting it was 0.914 – nearly twice the amount considered to be life-threatening.

The 67-year-old man landed in hospital on Dec. 20 after a car knocked him off his feet in the southern Bulgarian city of Plovdiv, police and doctors said Tuesday.

A breath test indicated blood-alcohol levels so high that police thought their equipment was broken, because the man remained conscious and talked with them.

The head of Plovdiv police, Col. Angel Rangelov, said five separate lab tests taken the same day confirmed the man's blood-alcohol level of 0.914.

A blood-alcohol level of 0.55 is considered potentially fatal.

In comparison, the Bulgarian man's level was more than 11 times higher than the legal blood-alcohol limit for drivers in Canada, which is 0.08.

The man, who has not been identified, was reported to be in stable condition after being treated for head injuries.

[Ronald_mcd]

I wanna meet this guy :lol

 

[Date of Lies]

No shit, I'm Bulgarian. This guy could be a relative.


Ah Bulgaria...how I miss the abundant cheap alcochol.

 

[duderon]

I wanna know how much liquor he killed to get his blood-alcohol level that high.

 

[LakeEarth]

Doesn't that mean the amount of alcohol in his blood almost equals the amount of plasma in his blood?

EDIT - or is it 1.0%?

 

[Naked Snake]

So will a vampire get drunk of they feed on him?

 

[Eminem]

I wanna know how much liquor he killed to get his blood-alcohol level that high.

:lol no kidding. that would fucking blow to have that kind of tolerance. cost you $70 to get fucked up

 

[Comfort_Eagle]

Wow. That guy is my new god.

 

[Willco]

I am not going to play Beer Pong or Joe Chicago against this guy!

 

[Tarazet]

The guy is 67 years old and has that kind of tolerance?? And more to the point - he managed to elude the police while drinking that much until he was 67?

(Also, is Comfort Eagle's avatar a clitoris with legs?)

It means 0.914% of his blood content is alcohol.

Haha. Its a tongue with arms and legs!

 

[Tarazet]

Haha. Its a tongue with arms and legs!

(Looked like it could have gone either way. Sorry for insinuating.)

It means 0.914% of his blood content is alcohol.

So if his total blood capacity was about 5 liters, that would mean that 50 mL of ethanol made it into his bloodstream untouched.. like he intravenously injected a beer into himself.

 

[MIMIC]

Chyna must be lookin mighty fine right now...

 

[carpal]

Obviously we're dealing with some sort of alcoholic mutant here. Maybe he's a superhero or something.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Well he beats me. I had a .410 once and 12 hours on a breathing machine in the hospital.

Heck, this guys was twice your level, dodging traffic (for the most part) AND talking bulgarian... now that's impressive.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Yeah all I did was lay in my driveway in a thunderstorm. I'm such a pussy! But hey everyone needs a goal.

 

[Iceman]

I bet that taught you an important lesson in moderation (and medical bills)... or were you trying to kill yourself?

 

[Drozmight]

Would that at all be a painful way to go? Or would it be hours of torture before you finally passed out and died?

 

[Brian Fellows]

I bet that taught you an important lesson in moderation (and medical bills)... or were you trying to kill yourself?

Well it taught me to pace my shots a little more.

Naw I wasnt tryin to kill myself. Just drink up the courage to have sex with an ugly chick.

And yeah I'm gonna be paying the hospital bill for about 5 more years.

Would that at all be a painful way to go? Or would it be hours of torture before you finally passed out and died?

I felt nothing. One second I'm at my cousins playing a drinking game next thing I know I wake up in a hospital with my family standing over me and the worst hangover ever. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good way to off themselves!

 

[Triumph]

I must drink with this Bulgarian Super Alcoholic.

 

[Drozmight]

5 years? Guhhhh.... I'd have rather been put to bed and taken my chances with death. Damn quasi contracts.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Thats what I said.

 

[MrPing1000]

Well it taught me to pace my shots a little more.

[Brian Fellows]
