**DesertWife** was a medtech and among their tasks is drawing blood for drunk driving arrests and determining the BAC.\* When they get together at conferences and such they exchange the highest they’ve seen. Hers was 0.42 but she said one of her professor’s was 0.58.

I blinked at her. “Isn’t that way past the LD50?”

“Sure is. Even mine was a little. You have to work up to it. He said the guy was not only conscious, he was scarcely slurring.”

I suspect four liters all at once would surpass even that.
