Now check this story out (work safe, but definitely barstool discussion)!
There’s this Lithuanian dude, who was out drinking the night before. They pull him over the next day, and he hits eighteen times the legal limit of alcohol in the blood. I don’t know what this equates to back in the states (do we measure by volume or weight), but man alive, this guy was literally pickled!!
Yer damn straight he was “of high spirits”! Me thinks it was paint thinner and methyl ethyl keytone! :eek:
Tripler
Although, I admit, I have partaken of “hair of the dog” on occasion. 
How much you wanna’ bet Fark carries the article with the “HERO” tag?
I very much doubt the limit is 0.4g/l as reported in the article - 80mg/l is the most common blood alcohol limit. If they’ve got that fact so very wrong, I wouldn’t trust the rest of the article. (Maybe it’s actually 40mg/l which makes the guy nine times over a more familiar limit)
0.4g/l is probably correct – 0.08 blood alcohol level is 80 mg/dL (ie 0.8 g/L). Still, nine times the legal limit is impressive.
Oh, good point that I was wrong about normal limits being per 100ml not per litre.
According to that reliable legal tome, Wikipedia, Lithuania has a legal limit of 40 mg/dL.
Hear the one about the Lithuanian who took an IQ test?
Came back negative.
The slightly more reliable International Center for Alcohol Policies backs this up.
(The UK and USA levels are double this)
This may just be the greatest thing I’ve ever read.
