“Subsequent blood tests shows that his blood alcohol was .446,”

I'm surprised he's not dead.

0.40 BAC and up: Onset of coma, and possible death due to respiratory arrest.

Alcoholics can build up amazing tolerances; IIRC, 60gunner mentioned seeing BACs in the 0.600-0.700’s as an ER nurse.

This guy was a “ professional “ drinker, his body has adjusted to constant high alcohol levels. I see patients all the time with BALs of 300 and up who barely slur a word and are already getting a little shakey...

This guy deserves his sentence. He’s proven he will drink and drive regardless of the consequences to those around him. Lock him up and toss the key...
