So I was listening to JOX today and during the Trash on the Table segment they reported this:
A 25 year old was arrested after a minor traffic accident (I didn't catch where, I think it was in Belgium). He had been drinking. When questioned by the police he admitted to drinking 20 liters (!) of beer. That's roughly 5.2 gallons, or something on the order of 42 pints. A pony keg is 7.5 gallons or 29 liters, and he drank 2/3 of one. By himself.
His blood alcohol level was .85. For perspective, in most states 0.08 is considered drunk driving, and .40 is considered the level at which you are likely to die of alcohol poisoning... and he was at .85!
Lord have mercy on drunks and fools. This guy qualifies on both counts.
*edit to fix misplaced decimal, no wonder you thought he died*
