The record here is more than likely the result of a malfunctioning contaminated detector. It would be interesting to know what an actual test of her actual blood showed. My bet would be that an actual blood sample would indicate that her alcohol level was less than half what was indicated.

Yeah, a 45 year old topless drunken woman. That sure would be a pretty sight.

I have never seen this woman and assume, as most do ,that alcohol has been a major factor in her life for many years and has probably taken a deep toll on her body and her looks.

However there are plenty of 45 year old women who are gorgeous, would look great topless, and might get drunk occassionally.

What are we supposed to do with people like this?

Chop a hole in an ice-covered lake, drop them in, and wait a few hours for the ice to melt.

Due to their smaller size, nearly all of these records are set by women. It takes quite a tolerance to survive at that level and women seem to handle it better. My buddy almost died at 0.35

During my time at Penn State, cops tested a still-wobbling underage female student in the whopping 0.50-0.60 range.

Stimulus Money? Can you say ethanol subsidy. This lady refines sufficient quantities of ethanol from liquor to be an endangered subspecies.

“Karen Allen was a cutie back in the day.”

That she was. And she is still a cutie. She was just naturally pretty; she was pretty just with a freshly washed face and no makeup.

So, in other words, they found blood in her alcohol stream.

It appears you're stating a common misunderstanding about blood alcohol content measurements. If it were written as .76%, or .0076, rather than .76 percent, it might be easier to see that it is less than 1 part per hundred.

That's a lot, a huge amount, of alcohol, but it's far from being a majority component in the blood.

I’m 6’3”, 210 pounds. If my BAC was above .50 I’d be dead. There is no way she only had booze in her system. There had to be some sort of stimulant that kept her heart beating.

An ex-boyfriend of mine was found several years ago, after no one could contact him for several days, in a coma with a blood-alcohol level of about .5

At the hospital he had a stroke and his family decided to discontinue life support.

He basically spent years committing suicide. Too bad as he was very smart, could fluently speak several foreign languages including Russian.

He had just come from rehab when I dated him, but after a few years he started drinking again & I wanted no part of that, having been married to one alcoholic was enough for me. Too bad, he had so much potential, but just too much emotional baggage.

I always wonder what his blood-alcohol level was when he went into the coma cause it must have dropped quite a bit by the time someone found him.

About 10 years ago, I recall a story at one of the Big 10 campuses where a girl measured .70. Her “friends” were holding her up, dragging her home to sleep it off. An off duty cop spotted them and started asking questions. This got her to the hospital. She would have died if she had tried to “sleep it off.”

Ted was burried rather than cremated because of concerns that normal equipment would not be able to contain the heat.

Given Ted's likley current location it's no longer an issue.
