Holy crap, .464 BAC. That's quite insane..you can be alert during it though. Even people with closer to 1% BAC have been alert, though it's rare to have it that high. By the way, from wikipedia...absolutely ridiculous

LOL, that guy in Poland was probably pumping vodka into his vein.

I'm curious if the Wicker Park guy had been drinking all night or if he started really early on Sunday.

The kinds of drunks who can withstand that kind of BAC without being embalmed are the kind that don't show the kinds of signs of inebriation anyone else would at that level.

Haaa! This is unrelated, but reminds me of one of my favorite cringe-laughs ever, John Oliver explaining NYC's stop and frisk to white people. Paraphrasing ahead: Black and Latino men viewed it as a crushing infringement on their civil liberties, whereas white people were like "Oh yeah, I heard about that. Is that still happening?"

Oh, life. I love your sadistic sense of humor.

You can sell your place and get away from that pesky tax increase. Sliver lining in this cloud.

My Grandparents said that. They also said to always vote Democratic too.
