When I was (much) younger, I was a Radiologist in a central NJ hospital, friendly with some of the ER Docs. They had a club called the "400 club" - to be a member you must have had a tested blood alcohol level above .400 and live to tell about it.
ReplyDeleteThe record, I was told, was over .700, and these are from documented hospital records.
Not too many dudes recovered from this level of toxicity, but it is amazing what some people will do (and some bodies can tolerate).
