Now this is what I call drunk....

Where I work if a DWI suspect blows .40 or higher we call an ambulance to get him hooked up to an IV and transported to the hospital. That is considered toxic level. Now this guy will have an overhang!

No No Ossifer, I'm as think as you drunk I am!

DUI suspect with .627 BAC arrested in Iowa

NORTH LIBERTY, Iowa — A man was arrested for driving with a BAC of .627, or nearly eight times the legal limit, police say.

Police Chief Jim Warkentin said he's never seen a percentage as high as that in his two decades of law enforcement.

"It's just amazing," Warkentin told the Iowa Press Citizen. "Most people don't make it above .3 — they end up passing out."

On July 29, officers received calls of an extremely erratic driver hitting curbs and approached a vehicle that had come to a rest in a resident's lawn. Police found Justin Clark, 24, in the driver’s seat and unable to walk or speak clearly.

Police said when they asked Clark what day it was, he replied, "Three, but now it is four."

Clark blew a .486 during a breath test at the scene, which surpasses Iowa’s legal limit of .08 percent. Later tests performed at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics found an even higher number of .627 percent.

Warkentin said he was taught at police academy that someone with a BAC of more than .4 percent is "clinically dead."

FYI, when I took the DWI course years ago the instructor mentioned the record. A sailor on a Japanese freighter that was sinking thought he was gone and started to chug sake. When he was rescued his BAC was 1.07! Yes, over 11 times the legal DWI level of .08. Now that is an overhang!
