LMAO

I've blown as high as a .46. It's all about the tolerance. You gotta work your way up to being a functional drunk. It takes time and practice but it can be done. Just make sure you hit the emergency room if you decide to quit cold turkey.

.46??? Goddamn, I blew a .14 back in 1999, I definitely shouldn't have been driving. Yes, I had certainly been drunker than that in my life, but .46?? Based on how I felt at .14, I'm pretty sure I pass out around the .2 mark...

in college this bar had a breathlyzer where you paid a quarter and it gave you a reading.

I blew a .31. No idea how accurate it was but I was barely coherent when I did it.

.08

A friend was dating a highway patrolman for a while. He brought his PBT in one night, and we commenced to testing. I drank a case or Coor's Light, and I wasn't even at a .2, but if you throw liquor into the equation, I am sure I can go past .2 with relative ease. There is no telling what my BAC was after the South Carolina game last year. The last thing I remember was leaving the stadium.

Hell, I started drinking moonshine one night this past winter and woke up in pile of puke in the guest bathroom. My wife said I passed out while walking, crawled in there, puked and laid my head back down on the bathroom rug.

we were drinking $5 pitchers of rum and coke. This was '88 when doing things like that seemed like a good idea at the time

A lot of it is genetic. We were at a bar in Chapel Hill that had one of those breathalyzers, me and 3 friends, one of whom was a raging alcoholic (he hasn't drank now for years, but back then he was hardcore). Anyway, we were all drinking at about the same pace and we all tried the breathalyzer. I can't remember exactly what the first 3 of us blew, but it wasn't anything too high, maybe a 0.1 or whatever, but our alcoholic friend blew and he was like twice what anybody else was. So unless he was sneaking airplane bottles while we weren't looking (certainly a possibility, I suppose, but I really doubt it), there was something about his genetic makeup where he just got twice as drunk on the same amount of booze as most people. I would guess the same is true of Rat or anybody else that can still be conscious with a blood alcohol level of .46 or whatever...

I have one of those keychain brethylyzers deals cosco sells for 20 bucks

have a couple of stout bourben and cokes maybe a beer or two and spike it to almost 0.2 --quit drinking and woundnt drop below 0.08 for 2-3 hours
would always piss off the wife who didn't want to drive home
slurring and gait impairment with the 0.24 or above was when I quit.
cant hang with feeling like shit for 24 hours if I spike above .25 anymore

I tend to abide by a study that came out a couple of years ago that said the sweet spot for middle-aged men is two drinks a day. Supposedly whatever benefits that come from alcohol intake max out there, but reverse at 3 drinks and beyond. It had a big chart and looked pretty official. I do give myself more leeway on the weekends however.

if you outweighed him by 60 pounds that might have played a role in it

Me and the MIF put away a bottle of red wine a night minimum. But really that's only 2 glasses each. But I did say "minimum". Lately she's been mixing up margaritas, so I tell myself that the fresh squeezed lime juice is offsetting any bad effects from the tequila...

"if you outweighed by 60 pounds that might have played a role in it"

That was not a factor. Back then none of us was close to 200 lbs and if anything, he was the heaviest of all of us...

I wonder if we all put our lips on the same straw or whatever that night on the breathlyzer

gross

Now that I think of it, one of our party was a female friend, she probably didn't weigh over 125 at the time and he still blew double what she did...
