Driver Has 18 Times Legal Alcohol Limit

I felt that this merited a discussion. It's no surprise that he comes from the Baltics.

Driver Has 18 Times Legal Alcohol Limit By LIUDAS DAPKUS, Associated Press Writer

Lithuanian police were so astonished by a breath test that registered 18 times the legal alcohol limit, they thought their device must be broken. It wasn't.

Police said Tuesday 41-year-old Vidmantas Sungaila registered 7.27 grams per liter of alcohol in his blood repeatedly on different devices after he was pulled over Saturday for driving his truck down the center of a two-lane highway 60 miles from the capital, Vilnius.

Lithuania's legal limit is 0.4 grams per liter.

"This guy should have been lying dead, but he was still driving. It must be an unofficial national record," Saulius Skvernelis, director of the national police traffic control service, told the AP. "He was of high spirits and grinning the whole time he was questioned."

Medical experts say anything above 3.5 grams per liter of alcohol in the blood is lethal for most people.

"A person this intoxicated should be in an intensive care unit, not behind the wheel," said Tautvydas Zikaras, head of the dependence illness center in the country's second-largest city, Kaunas. Zikaras said he had never heard or read of someone being so drunk.

Sungaila, who was slapped with a $1,110 fine and the loss of his license for up to three years, told police he had been drinking the night before and tried to freshen up by downing a pint of beer for breakfast.

Lithuania has one of the worst road safety records in the European Union. Last year, 760 people died in traffic accidents in this country of 3.5 million residents. Most were alcohol-related.

As my father's one alchoholic friend told the cop when he was pulled over drunk like that, when asked why he drove when he was this drunk he replied "because I sure as hell couldn't walk."

I wanted to have a BBQ and drink on my rooftop either Sunday or Monday if the weather is good. My roommate got roped into going to a wedding in MN so we were gonna cancel it, but if enough people want to do something we can spin some tunes, drink and BBQ. I'm sure my rugby team would be down.

Moving the decks to the roof and spinning with some barbecue and beer on the side would be a downright phenomenal way to cap off this weekend

The decks will be inside

EDIT: OK, I'll compromise, they'll be outside, but downstairs, not on the roof. And I mean NOT on the roof, the neighbors have complained several times.

They are dying to be strung up to the roof.

I just know one time I woke up in the ER wearing a Jack Daniels Halloween costume and a nurse had some blood test results & was screaming "How the (*%$ are you still alive?"...Probably was near that point when you were playing @ Smartbar last time


Neil, it's on!

Rooftop BBQ, hmm. Andy I promise to keep Yuris and decks off the roof


Posted by Aquadyne on May-24-2006 19:26:

I think I had 18 times the legal limit in my bloodstream last night. This morning was possibly the worst hangover ever. 4 hours later and i'm still hurting.
