Actually, if you read the article, you would have noticed that it happened in Jan of '05... A little bit more than six months ago. :Þ

Bulgarian doctors tested a man's blood-alcohol level five times before accepting it was 0.914 – nearly twice the amount considered to be life-threatening.

So for each 1 unit of blood tested 0.914 units were alcohol and he was still conscious?

I CALL SHENANIGANS ON THIS GUY AND THE COUNTRY OF BULGARIA!!!

Post by: KDR_11k on October 01, 2006, 06:05:55 AM: I think that's 0.914% alcohol. After all, 4 permille is considered lethal and legal limits are around the 0.sumthin permille.
