Forget driving; that much alcohol would kill most people outright.
If that guy tried to blow out a match, he'd become a blowtorch!

7.27 grams per liter of alcohol Does that make his BAC 0.727%?
Last December there was this guy
SOFIA, Bulgaria - Incredulous doctors made five blood tests on a drunken man to confirm he had a blood-alcohol content of 0.914, far above the usual life-threatening range, police and doctors said Tuesday. The 67-year-old man, whose name was not released, was hospitalized Dec. 20, when a car knocked him down on a street in the southern Bulgarian city of Plovdiv. A breath test showed high blood alcohol level, but police officers thought the result was inaccurate, because the man was conscious and talked with them, said Col. Angel Rangelov, head of police in Plovdiv.
Laboratory analysis of five subsequent blood samples taken the same day confirmed that the man had had a 0.914 blood alcohol content, Rangelov said. An 0.55 blood-alcohol level is usually considered as life-threatening.

I wonder, is "Vidmantas Sungaila" Lithuanian for Magic Man? This could explain his mysterious absence. ;)

Blood Alcohol Content

A liter of water weighs 1000 grams. The Lithuanian limit of 0.4 grams of alcohol per liter would therefore be approximately equal to a limit of .04% Blood Alcohol Content (granting that blood and water don't weigh the same, but close enough). So their limit is about half what ours is. And the driver had a BAC of somewhere around 0.727%.
If my metric conversions are off, I'm sure someone will correct me.
