Charge: Driving While Pickled

The Rhode Island state cops arrested a guy for driving while intoxicated. That may not be all that unusual, and certainly not worthy of note.

Except for the fact that the guy blew .491 on the Breathalyser. Cops say that's the highest reading they've ever recorded on a live person (and I'm kind of curious how many dead guys have blown into a Breathalyser).

A blood alcohol content of .4 is supposedly "comatose" and this guy was driving. I'll bet his BAC probably hasn't been 0.0 in years.

  1. You get the BAC off a dead person from their blood. The only real accurate way to get it.

  2. Is zero BAC possible? I thought there was a background level caused by sugars breaking down.
